Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pia is using her inner voice to repeat the word 'now', which is a common technique of mantra meditation. A mantra is a repeated word or phrase used to help focus the mind and achieve a state of relaxation or meditation. Mia may also be meditating, but there is no mention of her using a specific mantra. Tia is using a physical object to focus her attention and Gia is simply participating in a yoga class, which may or may not involve the use of mantra.
