Mantras are sacred sayings to focus the mind. It comes from the two Sanskrit words, “man” and “tra”. Tra means tool, and man means mind. Therefore, a mantra is a tool for the mind. Eastern-based healers have used mantras for centuries to calm the central nervous system and tap into their inner peace. Whether it’s known as mantra, prayer, or affirmations, they can be found across religions and spiritual teachings.

Only recently has Western science began to explore the neurological benefits of this ancient practice. In one study recently published in the Journal of Cognitive Enhancement, researchers from Linköping University, in Sweden, measured activity in a region of the brain called the default mode network—the area that’s active during self-reflection and mind wandering—to determine how practicing mantra meditation affects the brain. From a mental health perspective, an overactive default mode network can mean that the brain is distracted—not calmed or centered, instead it is anxious. The study found that mantras help calm and center the brain, allowing for more focus and less stress. Various scientific studies from around the world are finding the same results of the mantra practice.

I first started using money mantras in 2014. I had recently started a business and all of my self-doubts came rushing towards me. I was having a tough time asking people to pay for my services and I knew I needed to better understand my emotional relationship with money.

I decided to re-read the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and dive into the world of money psychology. In doing so I discovered a whole new world. A world of abundance thinking and training my thoughts to attract money with ease and grace. I vividly remember sitting in my living room early one morning before Nick woke up, lighting some sage and writing out different money sayings to recite. I didn’t know this at the time, but I was writing money mantras.

I repeated these money mantras every morning and over time I noticed a shift in my finances and in my confidence. As you embark on your journey of boosting your self-worth and net-worth, I invite you to try out these seven money mantras that I love to use to create peace and prosperity.
