Om Namah Shivaya is accepted to be a powerful healing mantra beneficial for all physical and mental ailments. Sincere recitation of this mantra is therapy for the body and nectar for the soul.
This mantra can be repeated verbally or mentally. Traditionally it is repeated 108 times a day while keeping count on a strand of rudraksha beads. My favorite expression of this mantra is sung. Om Namah Shivayah is a love song to ourselves, recognition that we are a part of the whole.
