The Nature of Sound — Why Chanting Works


A Drop in the Living Sea of Energy.

 

Everything in creation is vibrating. Even seemingly solid objects are constantly vibrating, simply at a slower or lower frequency than less solid objects. Some vibrations are audible, sounds we can hear with our ears. Thoughts are silent sounds, electromagnetic vibrations. Purposefully raising our own vibration brings us closer to experiencing and merging with the highest vibration of all... God, the source of all creativity in the universe.

The entire universe was built on sound, on vibration. Putting it poetically, God spoke and the world came into being. More precisely, God vibrated and all the universes and worlds manifested. By vibrating a particular combination of sounds, you tune into various levels of intelligence or consciousness. We are creating with every word we speak, and even with every word we think.

The science of sound is thousands of years old. When we chant a specific mantra (the creative projection of the mind through sound) we are choosing to invoke the positive power contained in those particular syllables. Whether it's for prosperity, peace of mind, increasing intuition or anything else you desire; simply by chanting these sounds, we are setting vibrations into motion that have an effect. It doesn't matter if we understand the meaning of the sounds or not.

There are 84 meridians points located on the hard palate of the roof of the mouth. The movement of each part of the tongue stimulates these meridian points. The points are like a keyboard input to a computer. The computer is located in the hypothalamus area of the brain. The hypothalamus is known to regulate vital functions like hunger, thirst, body temperature and sleep. It also triggers the regulation of mood, emotional behavior and sexuality. The hypothalamus receives the impulses from the repetition of the patterns of these specific sounds. This is translated into instructions that regulate chemical messengers that go to all the vital areas of the brain and body. These chemical messengers adjust the functions of the endocrine system and the metabolism to create a neutral balance mind and strengthen the immune function.

Many positive states of mind can be created using the Divine Sound Current. It can conquer depression, enhance intelligence and intuition, and open the power of compassion. You are thus able to experience the infinite grace of the Divine Sound Current, an entrancing experience that opens the heart, awakens the soul and cultivates a deep inner peace.
