The Power of Sound

Sounds or vibrations are a very powerful force in this universe. They have the potential of influencing our moods and movements. Just imagine how an aerobics session would be without some fast music. Some sounds make us feel better and calmer while others may not trigger the same response. Whether listening to a sound consciously or otherwise, even if the mind does not react to it, our bodies take cue from sounds and rythms and respond to them.

The Universal Tool

Chanting is a wonderful tool that can be used for achieving a variety of purposes – de-stressing, attracting good health, meditation and connecting to the Omnipresent. It is something that we come across very often in our daily lives – the sound of ‘OM’, the prayers conducted by Muslims, the mass ceremony and reading of Psalms in the Church and rendition of mantras by Buddhists, the Bahai prayers and ‘Sumiran or Simran’ in the Sikh religion  are all examples of different forms of chanting.
