What are mantras and how do we use them?  In part 1 we explore transcendental meditation and its' use of mantras with no meaning in meditation.  Next we look at the awakening meditation's use of mantras from the heart.  Sathya Sai Baba observed, "A pure thought from a pure heart is better than a mantra".   We explore this heart mantra in relation with the Unity Church mantra, "There is one presence and one power moving in and through us - in divine and perfect order."  We'll practice some of these mantra based meditations in the podcasts following part 2.  You pick which ones work best for you.
