The word Mantra is comprised of two Sanskrit words:
Mana: MindTrai: To protect/To free from Most Westerners are familiar with the use of Meditation as a way to clear the Mind and increase focus and Concentration. To the Eastern World, Meditation is performed using Mantras. The purpose of which goes beyond the everyday use of mediation to reach the practionneer on a Spiritual plane. Mantras have been used for thousands of years as a method of attuning the Mind, Body and spirit to the unseen energies of The Universe. Mantras are comprised of the seed sounds associated with the creation of The Universe. Repetiton of these sounds creates within the user a physcial vibration attuned to a Spiritual one. A connection to the Devine. It is my personal beleif that as Sound can be used to shatter away obstacles in Life, so to can Mantras shatter away blockages within our suble bodies, allowing the enegy to flow through our Chakra system in a more complete and health way.
SOURCE OF MANTRAS: P.10: Mantra Meditation, T. Ashley-Farrand “Two ancient Eastern Spiritual texts present in-depth explorations of the Sanskrit Language, one of the earliest known forms of human Language. The first of these, the Laksmi Tantra, explains the construction of The Universe, in specific Eastern Spiritual terms, from its first conception as pure energy to the creation of the material Universe, know as the Earth Plane.” “The other text, the Siva Sutras, — consists of a discussion of the nature and states of Consciousness and energy as well as methods of Spiritual Evolution…. Both scriptures [essentially held the same principles]: “The physical and subtle level is composed of fifty principal vibrations. Collectively, these Sound vibrations are called the Matrika – The Mother “These sounds exist in three categories:1. Audible Sound 2. Subtle Sound 3. Complete silent (yet existent) soundThese three categories make up the Spanda (vibrations) that have constructed The Universe we inhabit”
