Mantras have been used throughout the world and in most native traditions for thousands of years as a tool for healing, transformation and to enter into altered states of consciousness.

Mantras can have the same beneficial effects as sound therapy instruments. Mantras work on the same sound healing principles of resonance, entrainment, changing brain wave frequencies and heart coherence.

In our classes we focus on Sanskrit and Tibetan mantras.

Sanskrit (and Tibetan, which has a direct link to Sanskrit) is an energy based language stemming from the ancient Hindu tradition which goes back many thousands of years and is thought to be one of the oldest languages of humanity.

Because Sanskrit is an ancient energy based language, there is not always a direct translation into English of the meaning.

 

Working With Mantras To Help Ourselves & Others Heal & Transform:-

As with all the therapeutic sound instruments that we cover in our classes, direct and personal experience of working with the sound vibrations of mantras brings the deepest level of understanding.

No amount of talking about mantras can substitute for the benefits of chanting mantras in a ‘daily mantra practice’. Through the vocal toning and chanting of mantras their energy is taken into the self and therefore digested and understood by the self.

Each unique person will have his or her own individual experience. Taking part in a daily mantra practice is just as, if not more, important than the understanding of the translation of the words of the mantra.

Mantras have been used for many thousands of years and therefore their importance and potential is evident in their longevity.  Many sages and masters from India and Tibet have recognised them as having great power and potential for healing and transformation.

Some people, perhaps as a result of being criticised as a child, have developed a fear of singing and are reluctant to embrace vocal toning and chanting mantras.

It is important not to dismiss something as not being good for you or your clients without having experienced it or from a fear based on using the voice.

We use our voice to chant mantras out loud, so it may be necessary to build up some confidence in chanting for clients as part of a sound therapy treatment.

You don’t have to be able to sing beautifully or perfectly to chant a mantra out loud.  All you need is to be able to speak out loud (and if you can’t or don’t want to for whatever reason mantras can be repeated/chanted silently).

Mantras can also be sung, and the rhythmic chanting of the mantras is the traditional discipline that can bring about the most beneficial effects to help with healing others.

Direct Personal Experience is the Key to Success:-

Experience is the key to mantras and before you recommend anything to anyone it is always a good idea to have experienced it for yourself so you can understand, feel and identify with it.  It’s also good practice to not give something to someone else that you have not tried for yourself.

Mantras have amazing abilities to help to quieten the mind, heal and transform the body, mind, heart and soul. Mantras are available to all people and are not limited by space, price, location or time and are flexible and fitting to all situations and circumstances.

Mantras are extremely adaptable to any and everyone, including clients with all medical conditions and challenges.

Mantras are ancient and the chanting of mantras can lead to profound transformational experiences both inwardly and outwardly.
