Hi Speedy,
The purpose of the mantra, is to guide you to a place where no mantra is needed anymore. Where there is stillness, which does not necessarely mean that there are no thoughts, but if there are thoughts, they dont touch you anymore.
Id suggest, dont try to try something... just repeat that mantra and at the same time, let it go again. I personally prefer watching my breath, but thats a matter of taste.
I think its a learning process for the mind, to learn to let go. These insights or feelings are like gifts for me. Its like my subconscious or my "aboveconscious" gives me from time to time a packet and says "here, take it and have a look at it". I dont ever go into my meditation with an expectation, because that would not let me meditate at all. Watching myself, it seems im a bit slow with these things... i just reached a state, where my mediations are 90% deep, while many people i met or know who began with meditation, profit much faster then me from it.
But thats just me, who cares besides me?
Theres this well known saying: "The journey is the destination"
Thanks for asking! Everytime im telling someone something, its like im talking to myself.
