Mantra vs Affirmation | What's the Difference?

An affirmation is a self-directed positive statement chosen to reshape thought patterns. A mantra is a sound-form, often Sanskrit, whose vibration itself is considered transformative — independent of literal meaning.

Both have value. Affirmations work primarily through the conscious mind. Mantras are said to act on subtler levels — pranic, energetic.

The Freestyle counter on this site supports both equally. Type whatever your heart needs to hear today.
