Before adopting any method, it is necessary to study it carefully. Especially if its impact is aimed at he alth. Healing mantras have been used by mankind since ancient times, this is part of the secret knowledge that we have lost in the process of evolution. Today we are returning to what we abandoned in pursuit of a quick result. Usually we want to urgently get rid of the symptoms, and modern medicine fulfills this order. Ancient methods heal both the soul and the human body.
Sonic vibrations
Any mantra, including healing, is a combination of sounds selected in accordance with their harmonious resonance with each other and with the object of influence. Any sound is a vibration in space provided that the medium is not at rest. For example, sound does not travel in a vacuum. Any sound wave has certain characteristics:
- frequencyvibration;
- strength or loudness;
- rhythm.
The human ear perceives sound only in a certain range: we cannot recognize ultrasound or infrasound.
To get a visual representation of the impact of a sound wave on the quality of space, the German scientist Ernest Chladni conducted an experiment in the 18th century. Its essence is as follows: sand was poured onto thin metal plates, then the plates were connected to a device that broadcasts various melodies. The pattern on the plates was transformed, like a kaleidoscope picture.
Accordingly, it can be argued that any sound vibrations, including healing music and mantras, change the structure of the matter that is affected.
Harmony and Rhythm
Let's talk about music and its various effects on a person. Tonality and rhythm have amazing properties: they are able to harmonize all processes (including physiological ones) in the human body, but they can also unbalance it.
This was known to magicians practicing voodoo. Knowing that the heart seeks to adjust to any rhythm whose vibrations reach the human ear, sorcerers could quietly tap out a deadly rhythm with their sticks, forcing the heart to beat in unison with it. And the unsuspecting object of influence, returning from a walk, very quickly died of a heart attack. But in the same way, it was possible to set the heart to a he althy rhythm.
Pitch
The tone also matters. Ever heard of the chakra system?
Each of them is associated with certain organs and triggers the physical or mental processes of the body. Singing or listening to a mantra, sounding at a low or high pitch, you can "turn on" the work of the corresponding chakra. Muladhara and svadhisthana are at low octaves, middle octaves are connected with manipura and anahata, 2nd and 3rd octaves connect vishuddha and the "third eye".
Therefore, healing mantras are not just a set of sounds. They should be sung or pronounced in a certain key, adhering to the necessary rhythm and volume.
Music of the world
The world we live in is an unceasing symphony of sounds. Some of them have a beneficial effect on us, while others can practically destroy us. For example, classical music promotes peace, calms the mind, which affects the adoption of balanced and reasonable decisions, the consequences of which lead to the well-being of our lives. It can be said that certain classical pieces, such as playing the violin or cello, are a healing mantra because they have a healing effect on the heart muscle.
As for rock music, jazz, pop music, its regular listening, especially at high volume levels, leads to violations of various body systems. It should be noted that an increased noise level (over 150 decibels) can be fatal. These styles have a rhythmic pattern that is in dissonance with natural biological rhythms. It is not surprising that the behaviorfans at rockstar concerts can hardly be called adequate: at such events, the subject becomes part of the crowd.
Perhaps not everyone knows this, but each human organ has its own vibrations. It is easy to see that after being in nature we feel rested, and after visiting a club or at a rock concert, we return excited and broken.
Long-term memory
Have you ever experienced the problem of a "hunting tune" arising from the depths of your subconscious for some unknown reason? Yes, you once listened to her, maybe she was even your favorite, but then you forgot about her for a few years. The fact is that it only seems to you that you have thrown something out of your head, your brain never erases anything from memory.
Now imagine that all the events of your life, all knowledge, melodies, conversations, advertisements and faces are stored in the depths of your subconscious. And then some element, for example, someone's phrase or even the aroma of once remembered perfume, includes a memory - that very melody. And it is in your head for many days.
The question arises: what to do with this information garbage? Especially if you can't sleep because of it. You may be in need of a healing, soothing sleep mantra. However, you can drink a handful of antidepressants - they say they help too …
How to "reformat" the brain
Inventors of all countries and times have been struggling to discover a perpetual motion machine for thousands of years, not knowing that it has been working for a long time. Patent for this inventionnature received - it was she who created the brain. He works non-stop throughout our lives: he has no holidays or days off. This structure only changes the mode from day to night, so that we can dream. The plots of our journeys "to the other side" depend on the quantity and quality of the information loaded into our subconscious mind.
Consider what happens during a night's sleep. If you have completed all your affairs and went to bed before midnight, then not only your body, but also your mind rests. It turns off, and the subconscious mind begins to process the information that you have accumulated during the day.
That is, it enters the phase of activity, and therefore this period is perfect for a healing calming mantra for sleep. Its impact is multifaceted: firstly, it helps to relieve tension, and secondly, it cleans the subconscious from debris.
How it works
During the day, the brain filters all the information that comes to it, it does not believe in anything, compares, checks, analyzes and draws conclusions. That is, it works every second. Try to close your eyes and stop the flow of thoughts. Record the time: how many minutes you can be in a state of absolute emptiness. If you have never practiced the meditation method, then at best you will have enough for 10-15 seconds. Then the "chatter" of the brain will begin, you will find fragments of phrases, random images or melodies, etc.
During sleep, this waterfall of thoughts stops, the analytical process stops, and everything thatcomes into contact with your subconscious mind, assimilated without obstacles. Therefore, if you form the habit of listening to a healing calming mantra for sleep, you are guaranteed a sound sleep. This will not happen immediately, but after some time, the duration of which is individual and depends on certain conditions.
Six steps
Your body is not a button on the computer, through which you can enable or disable the programs you need. Some steps are required to change from waking to sleeping.
- Firstly, there should be a gap of at least three hours between going to bed and the last meal.
- Secondly, a hearty dinner and listening to mantras are incompatible things.
- Third, drinking alcohol reduces your efforts to zero.
- Fourth, the bright light in the bedroom will scatter your attention.
- Fifth, if you watched an action movie before going to bed, played "tanks" or "shooters", then soothing healing mantras will be powerless against such heavy artillery.
- Sixth, it's better to start falling asleep an hour before midnight or earlier.
The process of going to sleep can be compared to a switch operating in the step-down mode.
So, if you have fulfilled all the conditions, you can turn on the mantra you have chosen, and the healing dream will begin to come into its own. Perhaps the effect will not be as immediate as after sedatives or sleeping pills.
However, this will be a natural process by which yourthe subconscious will gradually be cleared of various embedded programs. To visualize how this happens, imagine a glass filled with cloudy water with sediment at the bottom. This is an analogue of your subconscious. Now mentally start pouring clean water into the container. After a while, you will see how the water in the glass has cleared, and the sediment has disappeared. Listening to mantras leads to the fact that information garbage is forced out, and in its place comes what you consider useful for yourself.
Mantra and prayer
As mentioned above, mantras are a harmonious combination of sounds that are combined into words or phrases. Each of them has its own purpose, and the range of their orientation is very wide. However, the concepts of mantra should not be confused with prayer. There are significant differences between them.
- The basis of the mantra is the concentration of attention on breathing, repetition and pronunciation in accordance with phonetic features.
- The mantra is based on ancient Sanskrit texts and never asks for anything.
- The meaning of repeated reading of the mantra is to develop certain qualities of consciousness.
- Prayer is an appeal to the Almighty with a request. The classic text is "Our Father". The very word "prayer" is associated with supplication.
- Making a request to the Lord involves putting yourself and your destiny in His hands and giving up pride ("Thy will be done").
About phonetic features
Let's touch on the pronunciation in more detail. Now you can find many texts of mantras written in Russian letters. However, if you do not know their phonetic features, then no matter how much you sing them, the result will be zero. Therefore, if you do not know how to read the mantra correctly, it is better to listen to it performed by experienced practitioners. You can listen to the mantra for a quick sleepover "OM AGASTI SHAYINAH" before going to bed in the headphones, adjusting the sound in them so that it does not "cut" the ear, but every word can be heard.
The only mantra that can be recited by anyone who embarks on the path of self-development is the universal sound "OM" (or "AOUM"). It is believed that the sound "OM" contains all the mantras, so its repetition has a very beneficial effect on both he alth and spiritual development. This mantra should be chanted while sitting in the classic yoga pose of "padmasana" or simply with crossed legs. An important condition is that the back should be straight. Concentration of attention - on the point of the "third eye".
Tibetan healing mantras
The basis of Tibetan medicine is the philosophy of the universal connection of all elements, as well as the doctrine of causes and effects. According to him, not a single action or thought of a living being disappears: it is fixed in the infinite memory of the Universe, and all living beings must be responsible for each of their actions. Diseases are either the result of wrong actions, or a warning.
The healing mantras of Tibetan monks are based onthe limitless potential of sound. The singing or vibrations of the bowls affect the root cause of the disease on the subtle plane. According to Buddhist philosophy, negative thoughts form the corresponding vibrations in the body, which after a while manifest themselves as diseases of the body. Depending on which energy center the person concentrated on, forming a negative message, the disease will manifest itself at this level.
That is, if a person regularly indulged in emotional experiences (anahata-chakra), then for his treatment, you should choose a healing mantra for the heart chakra. For example, GATE GATE PORO GATE PORO SOM GATE BODHHI SWAHA. However, it is not recommended to say it yourself.
Mantras are not just a set of sounds. This is an ancient philosophy and should be touched with all possible respect and full awareness.
