Looking for Guided Mantra Meditation or ah meditation?

Hello and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and today I would like to share with you the concept of Mantra Meditation.

Sound has an ancient kinship with meditation and healing. Sound healing has ancient roots in cultures all over the world, including Australian aboriginal tribes who used the didgeridoo as a sound healing instrument for over 40,000 years to ancient such as Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowl spiritual ceremonies.

A mantra is a syllable, word, or phrase that is repeated during meditation. Mantras can be spoken, chanted, whispered, or repeated in the mind. Most mantra meditation techniques have two essential components: mindfulness meditation and mantra recitation or chanting. While this age-old practice is known to have Buddhist and Hindu roots, forms of “sacred word” recitation exist within a great variety of spiritual traditions, including Judeo-Christian and Shamanic. Nowadays, mantra practice is also gaining popularity as part of secular mindfulness practice.

According to 2017 research, chanting certain mantras may stimulate these changes, since chanting can help synchronize the left and right sides of the brain and promote relaxing (alpha) brain waves. This synchronization may help improve brain function over time and possibly slow cognitive decline.

Mantra chant had both a Neuro-Linguistic Effect and a Psycho-Linguistic Effect. These two effects signal the brain to release hormones that have a healing, and feel-good effect.

Other studies have shown that heart rate and blood pressure dip while chanting, as well as adrenaline levels, studies have also shown that chatting has an effect on brainwave patterns and inhibits the release of stress-hormones, due to the vibrations of the sounds produced during chanting.

The mantra “Ah!” is the “mother of all,” the first letter of the Sanskrit alphabet, and the seed-syllable of Mahavairocana Dainichi, from whom evolve all other mantras, languages, poetry, and thought, according to Kiikai’s writings. Although this is traditionally practiced first thing in the morning, you can also take any moment in the day to wake yourself up. In the midst of a busy trip to simply taking a deep breath and exhaling and releasing “AH” can perforate the solidity and claustrophobia of an intense day, letting the fresh air of spirit and awareness blow through.

When you have completed your meditation remember to ground yourself deeply within the earth. It is very beneficial to practice chanting mantras daily. Mantras can help to keep your mind concentrated and attuned to the flow of experience and maintain a free flow of energy. Chanting silently or aloud throughout the day will also help you to remain grounded, balanced, and focused.
