Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sound is more than simply a medium of artistic expression. Sound has practical and powerful applications in the real world." Mantras, or simple chants, are short phrases packed with energy and intention--specifically designed to generate powerful sound waves that promote healing, insight, creativity, and spiritual growth. Healing Mantras is the practical, how-to guide that makes the strengths and benefits of mantras available to everyone. The transformative power of sound has been passed down to the present from the sages of India, the classical scientists of ancient Greece, and the medieval monks of Europe. Mantras, sounds, and chants have inspired, comforted, and mended the lives of individuals, religious orders, and even entire cultures. Even though the science and discipline of chanting and formal prayer are practiced in every religion around the world, this is the first time that ancient Sanskrit mantras have been explained and adapted to Western needs. One of the few Western experts in Hindu and Buddhist mantras, Thomas Ashley-Farrand has practiced mantra-based spiritual disciplines for twenty-five years. In this illuminating book, he explains how and why mantras work and shows how to use them for everything from controlling habits to overcoming fear, from curing specific ailments to finding inner peace. In each of the more than fifty mantras, all translated from the original Sanskrit, Ashley-Farrand unlocks the power of every word, explains its appropriate application, and tells you how to pronounce it in easy-to-follow phonetic symbols. Inside, you'll find mantras for - Health - Worldly Success - Habit Control - Protection - Grief - Anger - Controlling Fear - Personal Attraction - Wisdom - Concentration and Mental Clarity - Healing Life Issues - and more! These mantras can be repeated aloud or in silence and can be used by people of any religion or spiritual practice, "as you wash dishes, as you drive on the freeway, as you meditate, or as you cook." Sound can help and sound can heal, and Healing Mantras now makes this sound medicine available to everyone.
Download or read book Mantra Healing written by Asha Singh and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are lots of ancient techniques for relaxation and peace that many people of the modern era simply do not understand. People of modern societies would rather take a pill or find some quick way to make them feel better. The truth is that anyone can make themselves feel better with the use of an ancient meditation called the "mantra ". Mantras have unique spiritual powers that can help a person clear their minds of all mental thoughts while bringing them closer to the spiritual world where they can be at peace. Many ancient religions have used this technique in the past to meditate and be closer to the spirits of the world. Have you ever heard of Hinduism or Buddhism? These ancient religions of India were the very first two religions to use mantras and incorporate them into a meditation practice. For over 3000 years, mantras have continued to be used in these religions and have also been derived into many other religions that came afterwards. This book is not meant to convert you into a Hindu or Buddhist. Frankly, that would have to be a personal choice and no one can convince you to do that. But what this book does is explain in great detail about mantras, including how they are used and the great spiritual power that exists behind them. Believe it or not, you don't have to be associated with any particular religion in order to perform mantras and receive the power that they give to you. All you have to know is what mantras are and how to actually perform them in your daily ritual. Most of the time, mantras will be conducted through your meditation practices. Mantras and meditation are almost synonymous because they both get you to a spiritual place where all your mortal thoughts and feeling cease to exist. By even if you want to perform everyday activities, like driving a car or walking down the street, you can still use mantras as a way to relax and clear your mind during these situations as well. That is the great joy about performing mantras because you can literally perform them anywhere while conducting any nonverbal activity. You will learn the specifics of how this can be done and how it can change your everyday life for the better. After all, can't we all use a simple non-medical way to alleviate our stress and anxiety?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding how our actions, words, and thoughts interact enhances our ability to progress in spiritual practice and brings us closer to self-realization. In a warm, informal style Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche opens up Tibetan meditation practice to both beginners and experienced students, placing as much emphasis on practice as on knowledge. Depending on the sources of the problems in our lives, he offers practices that work with the body, speech, or the mind—a collection of Tibetan yoga exercises, visualizations, sacred sound practices, and spacious meditations on the nature of mind. Together, he says, knowledge and regular meditation practice can alter our self-image and lead to a lighter, more joyful sense of being. The stillness of the body, the silence of speech, and the spacious awareness of mind are the true three doors to enlightenment.

Download or read book Kul r ava Tantra written by Madhav Pundalik Pandit and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publishe. This book was released on 1999 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kularnava Tantra is perhaps the foremost Tantra of the Kaula School and is constantly cited as an authority in Tantric literature. It is worthy of close study by those who would understand the tenets and practice of the tradition of which it is a Sastra. It calls upon man to wake up to the rare privilege that has been given to him, e.g., human birth in which the being becomes conscious of himself and is offered a choice, a choice between stagnation and rapid progression towards his Godhead. He is asked to purify himself and told how to do it. In unambiguous terms he is told that a wine-drinker is different from the drinkers of ecstasy; the union of delight is between the ascending Shakti and the presiding Lord above, and not between man and woman. The Introduction by Arthur Avalon (Sir John Woodroffe) gives a concise outline of the work. Sri M.P. Pandit, who is a keen student of the Tantras and Vedas, has rendered the work in English in eleven chapters. The Readings are free transla-tions with annotations where necessary, omitting technical details but preserving the spirit and essential import of the original in his characteristically lucid style. The complete text is given in Devanagari after being duly edited by Taranatha Vidyaranya for those who wish to study the book in the original Sanskrit..
