Using a mantra or prayer word allows us to channel our energy toward our divine nature. When negative mind states arise, such as anxiety, anger, or fear, we can use the energy of these emotions positively by introducing the mantra into the mental field. The “fire” or energy of the emotion then becomes a transforming fire instead of a destructive fire.
