I'm having difficulties with the longer mantras. It feels easier to go deep with a simple two syllable mantra like AYAM. When I try longer mantras it's more difficult to let them become faint/vibratory.
Is that normal? Do you find the longer mantras more effective once mastered?
I'm happy to stick to AYAM forever but I have FOMO...fear that I'm missing out on greater benefits from the longer mantras. Have anyone noticed enhanced benefits from the long mantras? |

| I don't believe longer is necessarily better, I think the important element is how you fit with the mantra. If AYAM is resonating, no need to change a thing. For me the longer mantra resonated immediately, fitting like a cozy slipper. |

Has the longer mantra been more beneficial to you than AYAM? If so, how so? |

Hello Papichulo,
Welcome to the forum! The longer mantras do a wider swipe through the nervous system, which means more purification and a slower transcendence. In comparison, the short mantra promotes a faster transcendence, while still producing purification. Trust yourself: if you feel that the short mantra works better for you, stick with it. It will take you all the way home. 
After some years of practice, if you feel so inclined, you can experiment with a longer mantra. A longer mantra accelerates the journey, but just like driving a car, you want to be comfortable driving before you press the acceleration to the floor.
Warm wishes to your path!  |

Thanks! Yes I've read Yogini explanation but I'm curious to hear people's personal experiences in their own words. How has the longer mantra benefited you compared to the shorter mantra? |

Hi Papichulo
You received very good answers from everyone.
Perhaps it would be useful if you could ask your question in more specific terms?
Blanche has explained it very well:

Howdy! I am just curious to hear people's personal experiences in their own words. Did you notice a big difference when you started using a longer mantra? |

| After ecstatic conductivity, the longer mantra followed soon after. AYAM is beautiful too, but not as natural now. Do that natural mantra, it's not your choice anyway |

It is the awareness of prana within, a fruit of your DM practice. As you purify and clear blockages that inhibit prana flow, at some juncture of purification you realize the energy component that was hidden from you by these blockages. Many practitioners here have had premature kundalini awakenings and became overwhelmed by sudden surge of energy in their unprepared vessal. AYP lessons and practice educates them of what they have experienced and how to stabilize their system, through grounding and self pacing their dedicated practice. For me, it was AYP practice which ultimately led me to the energetic side of spirituality, ecstatic conductivity, and with that a whole new playground to explore. A stable vessal is one that has a heathy balance of silence and energy. Each and every day the scales lean slightly from one side to the other, each day my inner guru becomes more confident because of this interplay.
