CHANTING BENEFITS

CHANTING BENEFITS

Multi-Layered Benefits of Veda Chanting

Trains mind to be present/awake. Keeps mind sharp/alert. Increases clarity & focus.  Develops inner strength, confidence and self-empowerment; helps people find their voice.

Leads to purity of tongue, speech and mind – reconstructs/rewires mind; nava śabda saṃskāra –  creates new, positive thought patterns.

Chanting works on many levels.  On physical level, it lengthens exhalation (type of prāṇāyāma) purifying impurities.  On the mental level, it centers, calms and uplifts the mind and can reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and increases ability to concentrate, focus, and improve memory.  On a spiritual level, it has the power to connect us with universal cosmic consciousness.  It can also open access to intuition, inspiration and other superior modes of knowledge. 

The ancient Indian sages knew that sounds reverberate in our bodies when we vocalize or hear them, and that these sounds could be used for medicinal purposes.  Ayurveda uses sound healing by repeating mantras that target particular organs—repetition of organ-specific mantras sends energy and intention to that point in the body.  These mantric sounds energize diffrent organs, bodily systems, and tissues.

Balances our internal body functions; puts us in tune with rhythms of nature; produces sense of wellbeing, harmony, and great joy!  Helps balance the doshas and the subtle forms of the doshas, prana, tejas and ojas promoting health, creativity and wellbeing. 

With consistent and continued practice, our inner mental chaos gets organized and a sense of peace prevails, inducing deep reflective, meditative states and experiences.    

Modern science verifies benefits on the brain and its activities

Studies show increased brain plasticity, increased grey matter, increased memory recall, attention, verbal fluency and cognitive function/ intelligence.  Called the “Sanskrit Effect”
