Mantram Repetition Program

Welcome

I have dedicated my nursing research career to the development, testing, and implementation of the Mantram Repetition Program (MRP) - a mind-body-spiritually integrated intervention for symptom management and wellbeing.

I learned about mantram repetition from Sri Eknath Easwaran, a spiritual teacher who founded the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation in Tomales, CA.

The accompanying video is a summary of my work:

Mantra Meditation: The Ancient Practice to Heal Our Minds

August 10, 2022 | MIND

The word mantra is derived from two Sanskrit words – 'man' meaning mind, and 'tra' meaning tool. Mantra meditation is used to protect practitioners from a constant onslaught of unhealthy and repetitive thoughts. But is there any science behind their effectiveness?

In this film we explore why our modern mindset may be leaving many of us more depressed and anxious than ever, and how each of us might use mantras to help heal our minds.
