Nature of Chant, Mantra, and Intentional Song

Sound and Energetic Alchemy to Wake Up, Balance, and Re-Align Your Whole Self

This information is taken from the extensive information on sound alchemy in my cutting edge book, Guidebook of Evolving Chakra Care.


These three modalities are quite instrumental in working with the chakras through the use of the voice. Though similar, each has a particular slant of energetic power and use in tending your own chakra garden. Building up an arsenal of examples from each makes a supremely balancing personal play list. This is the music of these new high frequency times, constant reminders of our design, our capabilities, and an expanded view of our Whole Self in action.


Look for the list of each to explore and use. They may be picked up at www.markstantonwelch.net at the store if you want to access my creations, or online at you tube or other streaming services.



Characteristics of Chants

  • Have been sung for thousands of years in cultures around the world
  • Are repetitious by design to help clear and focus the mind
  • Are often made up of powerful sounds or a statement of conscious, spiritual intention
  • Create a meditative, reflective mind state to relax and balance energetic bodies
  • Stir the spirit and activate the life force
  • Collective vibration amplified by chanting together in a group
  • Help to distract from negative, repetitive thought patterns
  • Can be sung together or in call and answer
  • Can open hearts, lift Spirits, bring inner peace, connect and unify people, align us with Spirit, ease suffering, give voice to deeper yearnings.     Characteristics of Mantras (Sanskrit for “that which protects and purifies the mind”)
  • Are specific, sacred statements of spiritual intention from a particular tradition, typically Hinduism and Buddhism, often calling upon specific Deities for support
  • Like sound seeds planted in the mind which germinate a higher vibration to clear lower frequency interference
  • The sounds themselves are quite powerful and directly impact the chakras and energy bodies
  • Amplified and empowered by the number of times spoken in the past
  • Repeated a specific number of times for a specific time period in a specific rhythm
  • Can be done in the silence of the mind or spoken in a sing song manner
  • Traditionally spoken 108 times using mala beads as a counter
  • Can quickly alter a vibration to create the desired inner state through repetition and tone
  • In current times mantras are both spoken and sung     Characteristics of 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
  • Can be used as a teaching tool to reinforce a concept
  • Will often enter mind randomly  when specific message is needed
  • Typically short (4-5 lines)
