A mantra is composed
of psychically potent sound syllables that are capable of influencing
the human system. They can excite the emotions and give suggestions to
the mind. They affect both the one who chants them and the one who hears
them.
Besides, being
a sound pattern associated with some meaning, a mantra is also energy
composed of certain frequencies that have a pattern of their own and a
vibrational field that creates different intonations. These frequencies
and the sympathetic overtones generated, influence our sympathetic and
parasympathetic nerves, which are spread in a fine network around the
internal organs. The sympathetic response generates the neuromotor response
and influences the two hemispheres of the cerebrate cortex popularly known
as the right side of the brain and the left side of the brain.
