The purpose of this study is to explore how frequent mantra practice affects mental clarity, stress reduction, and health issue prevention. Through an extensive analysis of literature on mantra meditation, this study aims to establish a relationship between the practice of mantra meditation and enhancements in mental health indicators, such as decreased levels of anxiety and depression. Furthermore, this study will look at physiological markers including heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels.
