Then there is mantra recitation called recitation with cessation. The mental recitation is joined to the breath-ing so that it is not just a mental recitation. We recite one part of the mantra while inhaling, one part while holding the breath, and one part while exhaling. This does not involve actual sound. For example, with the Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) mantra, on the in-breath we recite OM AH HUNG and with the held breath we recite BENDZA GURU PEMA and with the out-breath SIDDHI HUNG. The reason this is called recitation with cessation is that this method stops all thoughts.
