By using your breath and your voice with chanting, you raise the level of your own vibration to a higher spiritual state. In many cultures and civilizations, chanting, a form of vocal
meditation, has endured through the ages. Practiced by many people around the
world seeking greater health, a sense of well-being, enlightenment, and a
connection to the divine, chanting unites the mind, body, emotions, and
breath through vocal sounding. This unification can open and nurture your
creativity, lower stress levels, and teach you to become fully alert and in
the moment. Some people are naturally drawn to chant while others feel awkward using
their voices in such a way. Singing along with recorded chants before
chanting on your own can help dispel any nervousness. However, the chanting
that will resonate most deeply and beneficially for you is the chanting you
do for yourself. There are many different chants. They can be composed of
names, words, sounds, syllables, or even sections of text. What you chant is
less important than your willingness to focus fully on the act of chanting
itself. To begin, sit comfortably with a straight back and take a series of
long, deep breaths to open and flex your lungs. Then, take another breath,
and with resonant tones direct your breath outward in the form of sound.
Simple syllables like 'oh,' 'ee,' or 'mm' are easy to remember.
Chanting lets you raise the level of your own vibration to a higher spiritual
state. You can chant as an invocation or to set intention. Reciting even the
simplest chant can bolster a flagging spirit, hone the mind, and produce
natural painkillers within the brain. While chanting, you may feel energy
surging through your physical body or joy entering your heart. Chanting can
liberate and ground you simultaneously because it allows your soul to soar
freely while compelling you to focus on the here and now.
