Chanting and the Body
The following is a quote from the book titled:
Chanting - Discovering Spirit in Sound. It comes with an enclosed CD of chanting.
"I believe that one of the reasons chanting has such a powerful effect on practitioners is because it affects us physically as well as spiritually. Our breathing is fundamental to the way we feel in our body, and the repetitive nature of chanting induces us to breathe deeper, slower, and more thythmically. The sound vibrations caused by making vocal sounds resonate throughout our bodies - as though we were being massaged from the inside out. Our brain-wave patterns are measurably altered, evoking states of relaxation, or heightened creative energy. Our muscle tension relaxes and skin temperature changes; our blood pressure and heart rate go down. A regular practice of chanting can elicit the relaxation response, reduce stress, sharpen mental clarity, open and expand all of our senses, and help support our overall health and wellness."
I would like to invite any of you readers who are

This Lens Focuses on Tibetan Chants
"From the perspective of Eastern thought, chanting is a powerful vehicle for freeing up the vital energy of the body-mind - called chi, prana, or kundalinia - by helping to infuse every system, organ and cell of our body with life force."
OVERTONE CHANTING
Overtone chanting is sometimes called overtone singing, overtoning, harmonic singing, harmonic chanting, khöömii, höömii and throat singing.
Overtone chanting makes audible the natural harmonic spectrum of the voice in its pure rainbow colours, so that unearthly, angelic and bell-like tones are heard floating above the deep voices of the chanters. It is performed in Tibet and Mongolia.
It is a form of chanting on one note where the partials- constituent parts (overtones or harmonics) are selectively amplified by changing the shape of the resonant cavities of the mouth, larynx and pharynx. These notes are always present in any note, but while they color the note and give it its quality they are usually inaudible.
This is a form of chanting traditionally found only in Central Asia - in Mongolia, Tuva and Tibet. In Mongolia and Tuva (Siberia), it is called khöömii (khoomei, höömii or xöömii) which means throat singing. In Tibet, in a few Tantric Colleges only, it is done by the monks as part of ceremonial practice.
