Mantras are sounds, syllables, words or phrases which can create change. A saying from the Vedas states “Speech is the essence of humanity.” As such, our speech has the power to influence ourselves and our world through vibration and intent. The most well known mantra is Aum or Om. Kids and teens love to chant mantras. They offer a way to connect with their inner selves, to heal, to become grounded, to access hope and to increase positive emotions by stimulating the left hemisphere of the brain through their vibrations.
Please enjoy Two-ey and Minty as they sing the mantraLoka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu from the indomitable Beth Lapides.

Ohhhh my! My kids just came running into my office to see what I was watching and giggled themselves back to their rooms to get ready for bed. Beth is SO funny and light! I love the description of her as a yogi and comedian with ‘an upward-facing attitude’ on her website (http://www.bethlapides.com/)- perfect! I need to get one of her license plate frames – it says ‘My Other Car is a Yoga Mat’.
Seriously, love the description of chanting you have given here. Very interesting about increasing positive emotions by stimulating the left brain with vibration – didn’t know that!
Thanks for the giggle.
