Despite the speed of modern life and the enforced drive for success, still there is a powerful need in our hearts to escape the ordinary, to live life full of mystery, magic and meaning. To lead an Enchanted Life.
En-chanted comes from the root chant, an ancient form of repetition or incantation of sacred words and phrases or mantras. Chanting was a significant part of life in the ancient and tribal cultures all around the world. It was used to focus the mind, regulate the breath, let go of everyday worries and connect with the Divine Powers.
The most well known mantras are: Tibetan Om Mani Padme Hum, Hindu Hare Krishna, Hare Rama, Sufi Ya Sha Fi, Native American Ya Na Hei Ya.
If you have a problem with relating to another spiritual tradition, you can simply repeat/vocalise the vowels aa-ee-ii-oo-uu. The vowel sounds are considered sacred in many different traditions—from the Hebrew Kaballah to Tibetan Buddhism. If you tone them for a long time, they create special harmonics – sounds which we normally can’t hear in normal speech but which effect both the physical and the etheric bodies. So by vocalising the vowels you will still experience the benefits of chanting.

Voice in the form of chant and tone has tremendous power over the human psyche and body. It is such a unique, powerful and easily accessed instrument of self-expression, self-discovery and communication. It helps us in the search of spiritual attainment and attunement.
Why do we chant? "It carries one through every ordeal. It is repeated not for the sake of repetition, but for the sake of purification, as an aid to all effort. It has no empty repetition. For each repetition has a new meaning, carrying one nearer and nearer to God." - said Gandhi.
Most of the times the exact meaning of words in chants and mantras are impossible to extract because there could be several layers of meaning in the original language and not enough words in English to convey those layers.
Two chants are recorded on our Sacred Chanting CD.
Alleluja Amen (Track 1) and El Yon (Track 2) have come from ancient times to the modern world as devices for connecting our true self to Cosmic Energy through Sacred Sound. They are helpful in times when we search for meaning or become ill and lose our inner harmony. By chanting these sacred words we balance the breath, heartbeat and energy centres (chakras) of the body. Tuning into the thousands of years of tradition, we heighten our own vibration. Thus we create harmony within and therefore healing.
Mind Music CD was created as a tool for healing, meditation and relaxation.
When using “Mind Music” certain physiological effects can be observed. Because of the soothing melody and the unknown language of the prayer, the brain goes into alpha state of alert relaxation. In this state the body is given freedom to restore homeostasis and health. It has been used by many practitioners as background music which compliments any type of treatment.
Clear and pure intentions, sent with love, will carry the sound to the appropriate place to accomplish the appropriate response. When toning or chanting in a group, even without any training, you will notice how easy it is to tune into other people and how you are being supported by their voices. In such ways we create a sonorous community we feel the joy of simply being alive and connected. It allows you to experience the feeling of inner harmony and unity with the world.
