How to Use Mantras

Mantras not only provide spiritual benefits but also help in psycho-physiological healing. The sound vibrations and frequencies of mantras have shown enormous healing advantages as every mantra produces a unique sound and vibration that when recited resonates with specific parts of the body and helps in natural healing.

Sound frequencies of each and every mantra have the capacity to heal one’s life in a miraculous way. These sacred sounds can liberate us from fear, awaken our intuition and help to reduce stress levels.

On a physical level, when mantra is chanted while focusing upon a specific part of the body that requires healing, the healing energy starts flowing to that particular part. As they say, energy flows where attention goes; and thus helps in the healing process.

We all have hidden, amazing spiritual and healing powers within us. Mantras are an amazing tool which can help us in tapping that power
