Repeating a mantra doesn't work for me, because I want to edit and improve it, and essentially do textual analysis. I've channeled that meditation flaw into a helpful practice of its own, though. Instead of choosing a phrase and repeating it, I focus on how to better express and understand the idea communicated in the phrase. I'm not sure whether it has any valid history as a meditation technique, but it helps me to ponder an idea and refine my thoughts, and that was what I wanted out of mantra meditation in the first place.
