All Religions Include Chanting
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 rhythmically. 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 Sound Healers to join my Sound Therapy group. Of course, that means you will have to create a Squidoo lens to add to the group, but why not it's free and we'd love to have you.
According to Thomas Moore in his book The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life:
"Charm" is a form of carmen, a song, adding the idea of voice and music, the "chant" in enchantment. Deep in enchantment is the experience of being lured into reverie, dreamland, by the musical charms of the enchanter."

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.

Sacred Sound
Quote:"In India the influence of rthythm and tuning on consciousness has been explored for thousands of years. Music began and developed as a spiritual technology. It was considered another form of Yoga - Nada Yoga, which is based on the belief that ultimate reality resides in vibration. The physical wolrd is a manifestation of different frequencies of this root vibrational energy. Human beings, as part of that world, are also essentially vibration, and subject to the same laws of sound."

Great lens/resource for Buddhism and its "paraphernalia." I attended the Tibetan Buddhist Center in Atlanta several years ago several times. I no longer live there but it made a good impression on me and they are really growing. Zen Buddhism appeals to me for some reason and they are the ones who taught me to meditate. I love your passion for the whole manner of living.5*/fav/lensr 10 things... and my lens on "fame-what-is-it" where I feature Dalai Lama for his use of his fame.
