Yes, the best mantra ABOVE ALL is "Om Namah Shivaya"...best mantra par excellence! and no other mantra is needed. It is entirely self-inclusive.
When I chant "Om Namah Shivaya" I inhale and say "Om Namah..." and then when I exhale, I say "Shivaya".
It doesn't really matter though, as long as there is awareness on the mantra, on Shiva and on why you are chanting it.
Although sometimes I start off chanting "Om Namah Shivaya" and end up chanting "I love you, Shiva"...it just happens that way, but it's all the same.
Om Namah Shivaya

Check this out :
Fire is His head, the sun and moon His eyes, space His ears, the Vedas His speech, the wind His breath, the universe His heart. From His feet the Earth has originated. Verily, He is the inner Self of all beings.
Atharva Veda, Muṇḍaka Upanishad 2.1.4. eh, 159-160

A site claims that this is about Shiva, but From what I know he is not mantioned in the Vedas... In which holy texts is he described..?
