The book “You Are A Badass” by Jen Sincero is the first non-yoga book I’ve, so far, come across, that promotes “Chanting”.
A lot of books on being successful, peaceful, happy promote yoga. Meditation in particular, as the philosophy of yoga includes meditation.
Chanting is also under the philosophy of yoga. Chanting can or is also a form of meditation.
Chanting can be as simple as the universal mantra Ohm/Om/Aum. Since it is only a transliteration of the most ancient Vedic text, it can be seen written down one of the 3 ways, if not more.
The most frequent explanation of it is that it connects us to ALL the Sounds and Vibrations of the universe.
Chanting can be one word or sound, or a set of words or sounds.
Here are just some benefits of chanting:
- Creates positive vibrations
- Creates peaceful vibrations
- Improves concentration and focus
- Opens up the sinuses
- Helps vocal chords
- Relaxes
- Helps our overall physical health
- Clears the mind
- Controls emotions
- Strengthens muscles
