When used correctly, the sounds of Mantras can affect our state of mind as well as overall emotional health. Sounds can have a balancing effect on the three doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The mantra is a positive sound that reminds a person of the Highest self. They are typically used in Meditation as a power to harness the mind. They are specific sounds or vibrations, when chanted aloud or repeated silently, they can create a desired effect for healing, transformation or inner awakening.
