Japa Chanting for Beginners | Complete Guide

Start small. One mala (108 repetitions) takes roughly 8–12 minutes depending on your pace. That is enough.

Choose any mantra that resonates. There is no hierarchy. The mantra you can return to daily is the right one for you.

Sit comfortably with spine erect. Eyes can be open softly or closed. Move from one bead (or tap) to the next with each repetition. When the mind wanders — and it will — gently return to the sound.
