Mantra, मन्त्र , translates from the Sanskrit root ‘man/manas’ (the thinking mind) and ‘tra/trava’ (to liberate, to transcend).
Mantra literally means liberation of the mind.
It is said that the sacred mantric sounds fell from the Divine source, were heard by the Rishis who then formulated them into the cohesive body of mantras that are still widely used today, forming an unbroken chain of sound energy. Each mantra is precisely, sacredly, and exquisitely formed to create powerful vibrations that connect us back to our true, Divine nature.
Chanting runs through every form of yoga. It helps to regulate our breathing, quiet the mind, open the heart, connect us to universal energy, and bring about deep healing. Mantras are one of the most powerful tools we have for calming the mind and working with thought patterns as it helps us to create new neural pathways.
Other benefits of chanting mantra include:
- Soothes anxiety
- Releases stress
- Brings deep joy and contentment
- Opens the throat chakra
- Uplifts our mood
- Stimulates the vagus nerve
- Calms the nervous system
- Boosts the immune system
- Stimulates secretions of the pituitary gland
