Mantra
Meditation Promoted at Upper Room Ministries through "Alive
Now":
"Mantra
-- The word comes from Sanskrit. Its two-syllabus mean: man or
mind and tra or deliverance. A mantra is sound vibration that
is intended to deliver the mind from distractions and a focus
on the material world. A mantra is repeated like a chant and has
a spiritual effect associated with the physical vibration. A mantra
can be as simple as one syllable 'OM' or as more complicated such
as, 'OM SRI RAM JAI RAM JAI JAI RAM'." From the Upper Room

walk), Renovare, guided imagery, Walk to Emmaus, Cursillo, Centering Prayer, Ignatian Awareness
Examen, The Jesus Prayer, and The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius,
to name but a handful. Two significant reasons for the appalling
growth of these and other similar activities are that 1) they
have an inside track with established parachurch organizations,
and 2) increasing numbers of evangelicals are acquiring a taste
for things Catholic." Read
