Mantra

I want to share my opinion about what mantras are.
Mantra, as we know this verse, a spell, a sacred text and so on. You can find something in Wikipedia by reference. But I would like to draw attention not to what people came up with to describe this process. The most interesting thing is that those who invented mantras, most likely did not suspect that over time it will acquire such incredible abilities and qualities.
If you are detached from everything that we know about mantras, then in essence the mantra is a set of words that are constantly repeated. The words are consonant or if you can put it that way into a melody. But the main difference is the repetition of multiple same words. Perhaps that's why they get the definition of secrecy or magic. Although I doubt such a possibility.
I live in Europe. And I want to say that we also have mantras. Mantra is not about what you say, but how do you say it.

In a monotonous voice, constantly repeating sentences. I think you've heard all the mantras in your life. Since childhood, we are told fairy tales for the night, so that we will fall asleep with children as soon as possible. Is not it magic. And now remember which fairy tales nravyatsya detey.Kak rule is the same tale, and no matter how you read it, the main thing that monotonously and constantly repeated. The fairy tale acts on children as a mantra. No matter what the meaning of it, the main thing is how to pripodnesti.
