Mantra, Sound Healing & Boosting Intentions

This post is a blog post by Marlene Eriksen, who is a Sacred Cacao Spaceholder, Essence Practitioner, gong master & reiki healer. - thank you for sharing your wisdom so generously with us 🤍

Sound & Vibrations
Sound - vibrations created when we move air and elements interact with each other.
Sound is beautiful and fascinating – and humans have always used sound for rituals and healing.

What is mantra?
Mantra – Man = Mind. Tra = Vibration.
Mantra is conscious work with sound vibrations to affect consciousness and change the mind.

Think of mantras as powerful, and beautifully harmonious waves. When we work with mantras, our mind, our energy, and even our physical body are shaped by the harmonious movements of these repeated waves. We begin to vibrate more and more harmoniously. We begin to vibrate closer and closer to Naad, which is the highest vibration.

A mantra is an affirmation that you repeat. You can certainly create your own mantra. And you can also certainly have a mantra in English. But because the classical languages have a higher vibration, we use mantras in their original languages, as they have been given to the world by the gurus of India.

When we work with mantras, we work with the mind and body. We strengthen concentration, reduce stress, uplift mood, increase secretion from the pineal and pituitary glands, balance hormones, strengthen the immune system, and more. And we can also work with the manifestation of specific things, such as love, strength, abundance, peace, etc., by working with mantras that are especially good for these areas.

How can I use mantra in my cacao session?
Mantras have an effect, just by listening to them. So next time you sit down with a cup of cacao, try putting on a mantra. Listen and feel how it vibrates your body, mind, and soul.

You can also do a mantra meditation where you sing along to the mantra. It’s not so important if you get the words exactly right at first or if you think you’re singing perfectly in tune. It's actually not even important that you know what the words mean. The important thing is that you let your voice vibrate your body from within. Your voice is magical, so give it space and allow it to fill. And then let the pure vibrations of the mantras heal you – from the inside and out.

Which mantra should I use?
As with many other things, you can always go with the mantra you feel drawn to. It surely has something that you specifically need. Most mantras are on Spotify – and many of them are available in many versions. So listen around and find the mantra and version that appeals to you. But if you want to work on a specific area of your life, you can choose a mantra that addresses that particular area.

Here are a few examples:

SAT NAM – Purification and your pure essence
The mantra for your truth and for your true, pure, innermost essence.
The mantra is simple, purifying, and incredibly powerful.
Sat Nam erases everything false – beliefs, ideas, and thoughts about yourself. Old beliefs, you may begin to see, are no longer true, because Sat Nam makes your own essence shine from within.

ONG NAMO GURU DEV NAMO
Purification and connection to your soul
Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo is a universal mantra that resets and purifies our energy, allowing us to connect with universal wisdom. With Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo, we connect with our soul, our innermost essence, and from here we can begin to let our light shine out.
