"Sound is more than simply a medium of artistic expression. Sound has practical and powerful applications in the real world." Mantras, or simple chants, are short phrases packed with energy and intention--specifically designed to generate powerful sound waves that promote healing, insight, creativity, and spiritual growth. Healing Mantras is the practical, how-to guide that makes the strengths and benefits of mantras available to everyone. The transformative power of sound has been passed down to the present from the sages of India, the classical scientists of ancient Greece, and the medieval monks of Europe. Mantras, sounds, and chants have inspired, comforted, and mended the lives of individuals, religious orders, and even entire cultures. Even though the science and discipline of chanting and formal prayer are practiced in every religion around the world, this is the first time that ancient Sanskrit mantras have been explained and adapted to Western needs. One of the few Western experts in Hindu and Buddhist mantras, Thomas Ashley-Farrand has practiced mantra-based spiritual disciplines for twenty-five years. In this illuminating book, he explains how and why mantras work and shows how to use them for everything from controlling habits to overcoming fear, from curing specific ailments to finding inner peace. In each of the more than fifty mantras, all translated from the original Sanskrit, Ashley-Farrand unlocks the power of every word, explains its appropriate application, and tells you how to pronounce it in easy-to-follow phonetic symbols. Inside, you'll find mantras for - Health - Worldly Success - Habit Control - Protection - Grief - Anger - Controlling Fear - Personal Attraction - Wisdom - Concentration and Mental Clarity - Healing Life Issues - and more! These mantras can be repeated aloud or in silence and can be used by people of any religion or spiritual practice, "as you wash dishes, as you drive on the freeway, as you meditate, or as you cook." Sound can help and sound can heal, and Healing Mantras now makes this sound medicine available to everyone.

Thomas Ashley-Farrand is the preeminent authority on yogic mantras. In Chakra Mantras, he brings previously hidden knowledge from India and Tibet and teaches us through the use of mantras how to activate our secret chakras, which contain the keys to our spiritual progress. Located along the spine, the chakras process energy for all of our waking activities, and during sleep they provide energy for healing and cleansing the physical body. But there is another, higher octave of functioning that these chakras can achieve, if they are given higher states of spiritual energy in which to operate. This higher octave provides paths for spiritual development that ultimately lead to spiritual liberation or freedom from karma. A powerful method for charging the chakras with higher energy is through the use of Sanskrit mantras. With energy-invoking tools, stories from India's ancient tales, and amusing anecdotes, Chakra Mantras provides the information needed for fueling spiritual advancement through the use of healing sounds and chakra mantras.

An initiate’s guide to the healing practices, spiritual exercises, and secret rites of the Mother Mantra tradition • Explains the practice of the Mother Mantra, which allows us to overcome subconscious programming, release our fears, and awaken to the dream nature of reality • Includes instructions for the practice of the Egyptian mantra to attract wealth and abundance and the Mystical Marriage Mantra for transformation and rebirth • Presents five spiritual rituals that can be incorporated into daily life to reestablish the universal balance between humanity and the divine Hidden at the heart of nearly all spiritual and esoteric traditions lies the powerful teachings of the Mother Mantra. Its initiates have preserved its consciousness-expanding techniques for millennia. Originating in the ancient practice of shamanic yoga, this tradition allows us to perceive the full complexity of reality. It helps us see both the visible and the invisible, moving beyond the consciousness of duality that limits us to only the material world. Operating in this heightened state of non-ordinary consciousness, we can see beyond our subconscious programming and behavior patterns and understand our possibilities and powers. By removing all fear, it allows you to love yourself exactly as you are. In this spiritual and philosophical guide, initiate Selene Calloni Williams shares the healing practices and spiritual exercises of the Mother Mantra tradition. She explains how these practices bypass the thinking mind to access our higher spiritual consciousness, allowing us to awaken to the dream nature of reality and release us from all fear. She details the exercises and practices of the four-part Mother Mantra: The first series, which dissolves the constructs of the ego; the second, which invokes ancient spirits and deities for their aid in this endeavor; the third, where we experience a divine androgynous tantric union to transcend sexual identity and spiritually fuse with the divine; and the fourth, where the first three rituals are combined to unlock an expanded state of consciousness and a true seeing of the complexity of both the visible and invisible worlds. The author also describes the practice of the Egyptian mantra, a soul-making ceremony that unites the initiate with the Chthonian realms and attracts wealth and abundance, and the Mystical Marriage Mantra, which opens a path to authentic transformation and rebirth. Additionally, Williams presents five spiritual rituals, including yogic poses and exercises, that can be incorporated into daily life to allow divine communication through the chakras, awaken the mind and body from the aging process, and reestablish the universal balance between humanity and the divine.

We live in a diverse and multi-cultural world where spiritualists use their thoughts and prayers to awaken abundance, joy and alchemy in their lives. What if the mantras we use in our times of common-union ("communion") could, in fact, be used synergistically? The Five World Mantras are Om, Amen, Allah, AUM and Tao. Billions of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and Taoists have used them for thousands of years to empower their thoughts and prayers. The author uses his spiritual and 20-year scientific background to show the reader how these words not only resonate together... but within us all. Based on their own root meanings from the known sacred textbooks when we see and experience these words working together in a "Phoenix Sequence", our prayers and meditations become synergistically and abundantly transcendent. This book first lists many of the symbolic representations The Phoenix has had in various ancient cultures (Chinese, Arabic, Greek, Christian...). For instance, it describes the three definitions of "The Tao" - (Taoism). The phonetic and palindromic power of the mantra "Allah" - (Islam). A universal and dynamic definition of "Amen" - (Christianity). It explores how "Om" and Quantum Science are related - (Buddhism and Hinduism). And it details the three levels of consciousness that "AUM" can lead our thoughts to - (Judaism). Most of all... this book explores how a particular sequence of these mantras can awaken an enlightened and immortal Phoenix within ourselves. The reader also learns about "The Clock of The Twelve Paired Mantras". A much-needed spiritual tool in today's world! It shows how our Five World Mantras can also awaken both The Lunar and Solar aspects of who we are as human beings. Each mantra (Amen, Om, Allah, Tao and AUM) is beautiful and powerful on its own. But, when they work together in pairs, Trinities or together as all five, then we can consciously trigger Universal Abundance. Through "The Phoenix Sequence", we reach dimensions of universal consciousness that are both transformative and Divine. In addition to the music, poetry and exercises it contains, this book also has two unique elements to it. Both will help improve our awareness two extraordinary ways: Firstly, for numerologists and people who study the signs of the Zodiac, it discusses the mystical influence of "The Number 12". How ancient mystics found it in Astrology, Time, Music, Religions and The Human Body. There is even a meditation exercise included where the reader is encouraged to practice "The Phoenix Sequence" at a time where the influences of both day and night coincide. Secondly, for its self-help and spirituality readers, this book presents a new and life-changing technique called "The Equinox Journal". It is a way readers can chronicle their spiritual progress. With it, we learn how to take a "snapshot" of different areas of our life. It will help us to witness our own evolution and spiritual growth as we pass through our individual Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring transformations. Other books and videos are outlined in the book's reference and throughout its pages for further spiritual research.
