Mantra Repetition Meditation for Focused Attention
A concentration meditation where you repeatedly return attention to a mantra or simple syllable, often chosen to be meaningless rather than concept-laden. The practice is to silently repeat it whenever the mind wanders, using the repetition as an anchor for attention. This can make it easier to settle distraction and sustain focused awareness.
