Mantras

SPOKEN, WRITEN AND CHANTED HARMONY

Words are powerful motivators. Words are badges and words can influence who we are. Therefore, it can be said that, when creating positive mindsets, this process can be achieved through the repetition of positive words. These words attach and become a defining force.

Desires and wishes are aspirations for where we want to be, whereas affirmations are the written/spoken application we utilise for revealing our thoughts to manifest them in to the present moment for projecting of our future self.

There's a subtle and yet fundamental difference between affirmations and mantras. Mantras are our vibrational affirmations. They are our deepest defining roots. In their most simplest forms, they can help free the mind to induce calm. From this inner-space, we allow the setting up of our intentions and manifestations, providing an environment for them to form in.

Chanting a mantra out aloud is similar to speaking an affirmation purposefully. But where our affirmations can reinforce the intent in our mind, a mantra uttered with focus on the sound it makes, will resonate the vibrations throughout the body. Repeated over time, the words, their meaning and the powerful harmonious vibrations, activate the energy points in our bodies, called chakras.

The sacred sanscrit mantras have sounds that connect with our seven chakras. Speaking these positive words, creates sounds which activate and cleanse the chakras of the body. We can create our own personal mantras and speak them in our native tongues, but the power of the sonic Sanskrit vibrations as they reverberate throughout the body, are what help us to clear out the mind-chatter while meditating and connect the body, mind and spirt together from root to crown.

The Sound Of The Universe
We chant the OM sound in yoga practice, to bring ourselves in to harmony with the universe around us. The sound is broken down in to different parts, which create a resonance in the chest, the throat and top of the palette, with a pause for silence at the end of each OM chant symbolising the abyss from where we originated from and return to. The sound frequency of the Om mantra is 432Hz, which is the sound of the universe. These magic harmonious frequencies have connections to nature.

Chanting the OM 108 times is also said to induce greater calm, clear the mind and increase greater vigor in the body.

Meditating to a mantra with the sound of the OM, can align us to the natural universe. Other frequencies in the Solfeggio range, can promote energy, vitality, health and resonate love. Understanding how sound can promote good health.

Transcendental Meditation focusses on a one or two syllable word, which is repeated over and over. There's a list of words which are relevant for males and females at different ages and stages of development.

Primordial sounds are powerful meditation techniques rooted in the vedic Indian traditions. Silently repeating a personal mantra, helps one to attain peace and enter a deeper level of awareness.
