>entered the mantra state
how do I enter the mantra state?

kind of hard to explain since it's a process I am apparently naturally inclined to enter. I enter it by doing the following:
>sit in a comfortable position on any flat surface in a quiet, preferably dark room
>place your hands together, one hand swaddled in the other
>breath normally and recite your mantra between breaths (the mantra should ideally be around 10-15 syllables, but apparently 7-9 is the most optimal)
>focus mostly on your head, banish thoughts from your mind
>focus on your head, the top of your head, the forehead, your brain
>think only of your brain as you recite the mantra
>keep eyes closed the entire time
Eventually if you do everything correctly you will enter the 'mantra state'. You will know you've entered it, because your perception of your body will distort and you will feel as thought you are moving while also remaining perfectly still. A lot of people say they feel as though their feet, hands, and lips are getting larger. I can also attest to this. I personally believe it has something to do with the motor homunculus. You might experience some stress while this happens. Try to endure it.
