The Sanskrit word mantra is derived from the root of man which means “to think,”
and tra from trai which means “to protect or to free from bondage” or “to free from the mind.”
As sound has been discovered to have specific effects on our subtle body
chanting and listening to mantras is thought to have a number of benefits like:
Focusing your attention, thus supporting you to be in the present moment,
which can be helpful in dealing with emotional challenges.
Expanding and aligning your consciousness.
Raising your vibration.
Stimulating the endocrine system; calming the nervous system; strengthening the immune system.
