Dear Members,

 

We all use mantras or words all day long -- repetitive, out loud, or silently --

phrases such as " It's hard, " or " I'm tired. " " I don't know what I'm doing, " " It

will never happen ... .. I'm stressed, " " There's not enough time, " or " There's

not enough money. " We don't even notice them becoming part of our reality by

repetition. We act out on what we say, live on how we think. If our mantra is,

" I am stressed, " we will be stressed. Or if our mantra is, " It's never going to

happen, " it's never going to happen.

 

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God. So powerful are our words

to ourselves and to others and the power of positive thinking and expressions of

positive thinking through words are very important.

 

The words in manthras are chosen not only for their meaning as words, but also

for a scientific reason that goes far beyond pure definition. All mantras we use

are based on the science of " Naadam " -- the secrets hidden in sound.

 

The roof of our mouth has eighty-four meridian points, all along the upper

palate. Mantras were given to us as special gifts. Long ago, highly evolved

Rishis went into deep meditation. They began reciting certain sounds that made

the tongue hit these meridian points in the mouth in certain combinations.

 

It's kind of like playing the piano -- if certain notes are struck, a beautiful

song is produced. With every word we speak, or in this case the mantras we

recite, we hit certain " keys. " If the right combination of keys is struck, then

the hypothalamus, thalamus, and pituitary in the brain are all stimulated in

such a way as to bring our minds into a meditative state, and even into ecstasy.

 

Which ever combination of letters gave the ancient seers this peaceful feeling

or helped them heal their ailments, they passed it on to us. Every single

manthram in the vedas are the results of their experience. Nothing is

accidental.
