Universal Principles of Yoga, Part 5
...Mantra Yoga: Is unity through sound. Mantra Yoga is also referred to as Japa Yoga and the repeating of particular Mantras will cause sensory withdrawal (Pratyahara). This is, in fact, easier for most people to accomplish than meditation and it allows the Mantra Yoga practitioner to remove negative energy from the body, mind, and spirit.
In Sanskrit Mantra literally means tool for thinking or tool for thought.

The repeating of Mantras, which is also known as Japa, is in fact prayer. So, Mantra Yoga may not look like much from the outside looking in, but it is a deeply spiritual, powerful, and rewarding Yoga practice, in its own right.
