Mantras

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone! Its time again for Mike's Tips and Tricks and things to try.

lol!

 

I came up on something very interesting during my practice today and

thought I would share it with you. It has to do with Mantras.

Somewhere (cant remember where) I was reading that mantras, while having

many spiritual effects, are also used to physically

vibrate certain parts/organs/places in the body. This makes sense since

everything has a frequency that it resonates to.

Thats how the singer can break the glass with her voice.

So I started my practice today with deep breathing chanting the basic

mantra " OMMMM " . On each exhale I held the " OMMMM " for as long as I could

without running myself out of breath.

First thing I noticed is that it clears/settles the mind very well. I was

able to go into a concentrative mode after chanting for only a little while.

After I was

chanting for a little while, and I was relaxed enough to be a little

more sensitive to changes in my body, I started slowly changing the pitch of

the " OMMMMM " while chanting it. After a little trial and error I was able to

see how changing the pitch of the " OMMMM " makes certain parts of the body

vibrate. I was able

to point the vibration right around my tailbone for a little while. I'm sure

you can point it to the places of other chakras too.

This too me is amazing, since it is a way to stimulate certain places that

you might never with asanas/other methods.

I believe there is also healing done with Mantras? Even hear about it?

Makes sense since if a certain organ is not working or not working properly

you can resonate (aka activate/restart) it.

 

I will definitely be posting more updates about this since I think my

practice from now on will always start with a mantra!.

 

This road keeps getting more and more interesting.

 

Love and Good night everyone!

Mike

Dear Mike,

 

When I started my meditation had few experiences in 2001.When you repeat mantra

OM and focus on certain chakras subtle Naad like Lum/ Vum / Rum /Yam /Hum /Om

can be experienced on Root /Sacral /Solar plexus /Heart /Thorat / Third eye

chakra respectively.If you are doing this in a lonely place you may hear someone

else is repeating these along with you.You may experience sound of different

organs such as Flute / Veena /Drums etc.or sounds as chin chin or bells etc

without their actual existence.................shrikant.

Thanks Mike for sharing, I was recently reading about the 6 healing

sounds, based on a similar theory. Sound has so many qualities to it.

 

Good luck with the exploration of mantra, let us know how it goes :-))

Hello JiNN,

 

I enjoyed reading your thoughts and experiences. 

 

Yes, I certainly agree, and also feel that intuitive expressions of sound can be

just as helpful as a traditional mantra.  When practicing mantra, different

muscle groups would stimulate or relax to generate certain tones and

vibrations.  Using the stomach and diaphram in certain ways should draw energy

to the organs, as well.  It seems you were drawn to slightly change the pitch of

your Om, so maybe you were intuitively making this variation of sound to heal

yourself.

 

Love and Light

Dear Selena,

                   Original mantra of Lord Ganesha is

 

'Om Gan Ganpataye namah' & not Aum Gum Ganpataye namah as postedby you.

 

Gum in Sanskrit means to go.You are asking Lord Ganesha to go instead of

invoking him.

 

                                              regards.............shrikant
