Mantras have been used for centuries and are traced back to the Vedas where their teachings used a variety of mantric hymns – mantras. The exact origins of mantra chanting cannot be found but each mantra begins with ‘Om’ or ‘Aum’. Sound Resonation is the basis When you chant the word ‘Om’ you can feel the vibration of the sound resonate in your mouth and on your lips. This is the basis of vibro-acoustic therapy.

The Internal Cleansing Massage
In some circles this genre of music and song is likened to an ‘internal cleansing massage’ as they say that this stimulation of our senses helps us cleanse our bodies and minds. For some it facilitates deep relaxation, lowering blood pressure, decreasing our heart rate, breathing and taking us into a transcended state where we can truly relax and enjoy the moment – a rarity in this world. Relaxation through music and song has been known to mandkind for centuries but left behind in the hactic lifestyles we now live.
Our relaxation response can be triggered through yoga, prayer and meditation but one of the most common ways to trigger it is through listening to calming and reviving music. When your mind focuses on the music, your nervous system regulates slowing down the heart rate, breathing and production of stress hormones and induces deep relaxation.

The past decade has shown remarkable positive results when those who suffer in this way use the power of song, mantras and chants to overcome these symptoms.
