mantra, the power of sound current
The universe is made of sound, and all matter vibrates at a unique frequency, shaping the way we experience reality.
The patterns we create with sound serve as a container, helping our reptilian brain relax by developing its cyclical and rhythmic intelligence, crucial elements for living harmoniously. Even without conscious intention, the sounds we produce and the words we speak to ourselves and others direct our psyche and guide our experience. As the ancient saying goes, in the beginning was the word, sound is the primal creative force.
With mantra, we intentionally repeat sound patterns carrying sacred vibrations, passed down through wisdom lineages and encoded with elevated frequencies. Like a song of remembrance, mantras stimulate the neutral, meditative mind, supporting clarity, focus, and intuitive openness. They remind us of our complete belonging to the great creative intelligence.
You can find mantra sheets below that you can print to follow along the lyrics, even though you do not have to pronounce the words perfectly, it can be a support to keep with you for a few rounds and then close your eyes and get absorbed into the sound current.
