Scientists of the modern day tell us that sound is a form of energy but seers of the ancient times knew this fact since times immemorial. Not only were they well versed in the power of sound energy but also they had devised seemingly miraculous ways to harness this power for the good of oneself. Whether we call it by the name mantras or chanting or whatever, they are all manifestations of sound energy to invoke spiritual experiences and inherent dormant powers of the mind. Let us first begin with the introduction of word chanting.

Chanting creates positive vibrations that further stimulates relaxation and healing. In addition to these, it can be used for altering the breathing patterns, improving listening and concentration and overcoming hurdles. It is considered to be a technique that introduces one to the subtle aspects of being.
Every time we chant we create sound, vibrations, we create a powerful force. When chanting is done with full sincerity, conviction and faith it can trigger a bomb of energy, vibrations that have the power of charting you through difficult circumstances.
Chanting helps you embody the prayers in yourself. Every time you chant aloud you not only think about what you are chanting, you speak it and hear it. With three of your faculties involved in chanting, it will reverberate in your body.
The Cure For All Ills
Infact it might seem on the verge of fiction, but deep chanting can help to cure any bodily disease, even so called incurable ones, if done properly and in the right manner. Of course this is a subject matter of detailed discussion and we will take it up in separate articles.
States of Chanting
There are five states of chanting –
Conscious chanting
Whisper chanting
Mental chanting
Subconscious chanting
Super-conscious chanting
Super-conscious chanting is the highest state for it involves chanting at all levels of the mind – super-conscious, subconscious and conscious minds. Irrespective of the religion or practice that you follow the more concentration and intensity you put in your chanting the more you gain.
Allow your mind to be free while concentrating on what you are chanting and slowly everything else will make way. Clearing your mind, you will feel an eternal peace and calm mind. A clear mind allows opens you and you are ready to receive new information, think of new ideas.
Confusion will make way for order, problems for solutions and anxiety for calm. As per your preference or religion, use chanting as a tool for harnessing your creativity, improving focus, heal and meditate.
