Mantra’s literal meaning is “word repeated over and over”, I believe. What’s more, Christian monks and priests were practicing this kind of thing for several centuries before they were even aware of the existence of those Far East religions.

It’s a very Biblical practice to sit and think on God’s word, which is what this is promoting. It also is promoting the relaxation of the body, which doctors suggest to patients dealing with stress. I’ve had even Christian therapist help me deal with stress and anxiety in a similar way. It’s very, very beneficial, and I can’t see anything wrong with it Biblically.

I was looking for a picture regarding this very topic (Meditation and it’s relation to Christianity), when I came across this site.

This is honestly exactly what I was looking for. Right now, I’m doing silent meditation on my own (no chants, etc.) while listening to wordless relaxation music on Youtube.

I will definitely be looking into this. Thank you!

A mantra comes from Eastern meditation, which has nothing to do with biblical meditation (nor does guided meditation have anything to do with biblical meditation). We must be careful not to fall into pagan practices that are designed to initiate experiences and suspend thought. The Bible tells us to think and to reason. Biblical meditation has to do with active reflection with the mind, and to think on the meaning in the text. Please see http://christiananswersforthenewage.org/Articles_MeditationPsalm.html
