- Help to distract form negative, repetitive thought patterns
MANTRAS
- Are specific, sacred statements of spiritual intention from a particular tradition, typically Sanskrit, often calling upon specific Deities for support
- Amplified and empowered by the number of times spoken in the past
- Repeated a specific number of times for a specific time period…108
- Can quickly alter a vibration to create the desired inner state through repetition and tone

INTENTIONAL SONGS
- Affirmative, repetitive songs created for specific purpose of raising vibration
- Can reinforce thinking patterns to change a belief or affirm a way of being
- Melodic, singable, and written to align with chakras to amplify the purpose

The Gift of Mantra, Chant,
and Intentional Song
Utilizing the power of repetition, intention, and release, we are capable of significantly expanding and balancing the nature of our moments and our experience of them. Consciously using the voice to sing, chant, or speak statements of intention and affirmation is an empowering process initiated thousands of years ago. As mantra, chant, or intentional song we can positively and profoundly alter thoughts, beliefs, patterns, choices, and actions.
Mantras are speak song statements of a powerful intention, often including or beseeching a cultural Deity to support a desired outcome. They are, based on tradition, repetitive and structured. An example is the Tibetan Buddhist mantra, Om Mane Padme Hung, which invites our awareness to embrace and reflect the beloved I AM in all we think say or do. Another is the Hindu mantra, Gate Gate Paragate Parasam Gate Bodhi Svaha, called the Heart Sutra because of its power to vibrational effect the heart chakra. Traditional Hindu process includes the twice daily repetition of 108 times for 40 days in order to truly access the vibration of the mantra
