A 'Sound' Spiritual Experience "The
use of music for spiritual attainment and healing of the soul, which
was prevalent in ancient times, is not found to the same extent today.
Music has been made a pastime, the means of forgetting God instead of realizing God." -- Hazrat
Inayat Khan "Thoughts reflect and affect our mood, our attitude
and our general tenor.
Thoughts are silent sounds. And sounds are electromagnetic vibrations.
The more refined our thoughts, the more elevated our vibration; the
more
elevated our vibration, the closer we get to the highest vibration
of all, our
own divine nature. The entire universe was built on sound (Word),
which is
nothing but vibration. By vibrating a certain combination of sounds,
we are
able to tune in to various levels of intelligence, or consciousness.
Thus, chanting mantras is a conscious
method of controlling our moods, and in
turn, our frequency, and resultant all-around radiance." -- Donna

of your soul. See 10 Reasons
