Before discovering this site, I have been practicing mindfulness of breath meditation for a couple of months, without any pranayama. My question is, what is the advantage of using a mantra over simply focusing on the breath? Also, I am curious if there is similar practice like Spinal Breathing Pranayama in Buddhist traditions? Thanks!

Hi Ridingsplosh,

I wrote a short piece here on why a mantra is often preferable over the breath, as an object of meditation.

Why use a mantra?
