Did you know that chanting, like prayers, have a powerful effect on yourself, your immediate surroundings and the world? Prayers have a powerful effect, scientifically, because of the power of intention. Mantras are similar--but the effect is greater. Why? Because the sound in a mantra *manifests the meaning* without doing anything other than uttering those syllables. A good analogy for it is that a mantra is like an algorithm for a desired (and specific!) uplifting effect in the Universe. Try chanting Om Namah Shivaya 108 times twice daily if you want to see the effect in your own life. Do you know--we chant mantras while we make Prana Pancakes? Maybe that's the real secret of why they're so good!
Secret Wisdom about Digestion
Did you know...every cell in the body has vast intelligence in it? People in many ancient cultures eat with their hands. When the fingertips come into contact with food, the body immediately recognizes the chemical makeup of that food, and starts producing the right enzymes to digest it, even before the food reaches the lips. How's that for cool? Do you think we can read with our fingertips too? :) Anyone is welcome to comment...
