The Gift of Mantra, Chant, and Intentional Song

Utilizing the power of repetition, intention, and release, we are capable of significantly expanding and balancing the nature of our moments and our experience of them. Consciously using the voice to sing, chant, or speak statements of intention and affirmation is an empowering process initiated thousands of years ago. As mantra, chant, or intentional song we can positively and profoundly alter thoughts, beliefs, patterns, choices, and actions.

Mantras are speak song statements of a powerful intention, often including or beseeching a cultural Deity to support a desired outcome. They are, based on tradition, repetitive and structured. An example is the Tibetan Buddhist mantra, Om Mane Padme Hung, which invites our awareness to embrace and reflect the beloved I AM in all we think say or do. Another is the Hindu mantra, Gate Gate Paragate Parasam Gate Bodhi Svaha, called the Heart Sutra because of its power to vibrational effect the heart chakra. Traditional Hindu process includes the twice daily repetition of 108 times for 40 days in order to truly access the vibration of the mantra
