Emotional Healing Mantras
A mantra for emotional healing can be used like a prayer novena or a physical training program. Decide on a period of time when you will commit to 5 or 10 minutes daily using the mantra. Or choose the amount of time based on how many times you intend to sing the mantra. If you have a set of mala beads, you can count each mantra to reach the traditional 108 repetitions.
Creating a Mantra Novena
You can also choose to repeat the mantra for 30 days or 40 days or more. If more work is needed, the novena can be repeated. Please note that the use of a mantra does not replace professional counseling, anger management training or any other tools for learning healthy emotional responses.
