Mantra Meditation as a Case of Habituation: Implications for a New Theory of Consciousness
Third Force Psychology: an international journal of humanistic psychology March 1, 1981 Michael Pirot

The use of a mantra as a concentrative device that may undergo habituation is discussed as a possible vehicle for gaining a new understanding of mind.
