“I chant theses mantras while I am painting, while I create my artwork, I infuse these sacred sounds with intention, direction and purpose. They are here to raise our vibration, connect our hearts and soul with our own infinity”
Mantras 🎵
The science of mantra is based on the knowledge that sound is a form of energy having structure, power and a definite predictable effect on the human psyche.
Man = mind, Trang= wave or projection → Mind projection/ Mind wave
Mantras are formulas that alter the patterns of the mind and the chemistry of the brain, according to physical and metaphysical laws. The power of a mantra is in its sound vibration. The mantras from kundalini yoga (the ones I practice) elevate or modify consciousness through their meaning, rhythmical repetition and through the way the tongue touches the meridians on the roof of the mouth when chanted.
What we vibrate we become. Everything we want to achieve and we don’t have yet ( better relationships, better health, more love, more money, more this and that…) is because we are not vibrating that frequency, so we have to change our frequency if we want to grow and expand.
Chanting mantras, either silently or out loud, is a conscious method of controlling and directing the mind.
The science of mantra is rooted in the cosmology that the universe is made of sound, and all matter vibrates at a signature frequency. Since the body and mind are in motion, we can shift our experience through the sounds we create and the words that we speak. Repeating a mantra restructures the patterns of mind that filter and shape our experience. The result is a shift in consciousness.
Why in Gurmukhi?
Mantra is completely interwoven into Kundalini Yoga practice. Most Kundalini Yoga mantras are Sant Bhasha, a traditional poetic language of the Indian subcontinent that blends many different languages and dialects. Sant Basha is the primary language used for the sacred writings of the Sikhs. Although you will sometimes hear this language referred to as “Gurmukhi,” this technically refers to the script in which Sant Bhasha and other languages are written, not to the language itself.
Mantras can be in any language, though, including English. A posture might call for a mantra, and so might a breath exercise or meditation. They can be chanted aloud, repeated mentally, or listened to.
