3. How it works
• According to a research done at the Cleveland
University, USA, the rhythmic tones involved in
chanting create a melodious effect in the body called
the Neuro-linguistic effect [NLE]
• When we know the meaning of the mantra we are
reciting, it creates a Psycholinguistic effect [PLE] on the
body.
• The NLE and the PLE effects are by-products of the
production and spreading of curative chemicals in the
brain. The research concludes that this is the real
reason why chanting provokes curative effects in us.

4. How it works
• Each tone vibrates the bones, muscles and fluids
of the chanter. The elongation of the vowel
sound is remarkably healing to the brain and the
body.
• Brainwaves begin to balance after three or four
minutes, and the muscle and skin temperature
increases.
• The ancients intuitively knew that the balancing
of the body, heart and mind through the voice is
a direct path to healing and higher consciousness.

5. Cancer and Chanting
• Chanting simply means singing [rhythmic speaking]
certain sounds or words.
• Group resonance
From a scientific point of view, the true power of coming
together as a group stems from a collective resonance effect.
Just as brain-wave entrainment can occur between two
individuals, it can also be established between group
members chanting together.
The electrical activity of each individual in the group begins
to resonate on a common synchronized wavelength and in
phase - a choir perfectly in tune. Like a coherent group of
electrons that begins to vibrate as one giant electron, the
group creates a resonance that magnifies the individual
effect.

6. Chaos and Coherence
Research shows that in states of stress,
anxiety and depression or anger, the
natural variation in cardiac rhythm
becomes weak and chaotic.
In states of well being, compassion,
gratitude and when attention is
centered on the breathing, this
variability is greater and becomes
coherent.
The subject’s breathing of 6 breaths
per minute or less, also produces
coherence with rhythms of other
autonomous physiological functions,
triggering self-healing capacity of the
body.

7. Coherence
• According to research, when we repeat mantra or prayer
we automatically adjust our breath to 6 or less breaths per
minute. This frequency happens to be the natural rhythm
of fluctuations of other biological functions (heart rate,
blood pressure, blood flow to the brain). The result of this
synchronization is that the rhythm of each function
resonates in coherence with the other autonomous
physiological functions, mutually reinforcing each other.
• This coherence produced health benefits:
– better functioning of immune system,
– reduction of inflammation,
– better regulation of blood sugar levels

8. Lack of Coherence
• Lack of coherence increases with age and is
linked to:
– High blood pressure
– Cardiac insufficiency
– Complication from diabetes
– Cancer
Fortunately, the balance in biological functions
responds very well to breathing and
concentration

9. Cancer and Chanting
• As we create repetitive sound, we create sounds at certain
frequency
• It has been documented that the frequencies of chanted
prayer are positively impacting our bodies on cellular and
organ levels
• Cells and organs of the body resonate to frequencies of the
chant, thus being organized and harmonized throughout
our body
• Another (dr.M. Emoto) theory postulates that water takes
on the resonance of the energy directed towards it
– Our bodies are made of approx. 70% of water
– Chanting mantra or prayer changes molecular structure of the
water of the body and brings about the healing process

10. Cancer and Chanting
• “When you sing, you pray twice”— St.
Augustine
• Research done by Alfred Tomatis of the French
Academy of Science and Medicine found that
chanting sounds have a therapeutic effect on
the body.
– it soothes all our bodily systems
– it activates the body’s natural healing process
– it also plays a part in reversing heart disease

11. Benefits of Chanting
• Relaxes the body and alleviates the stress
• Helps to manage the mind – the mind becomes silent
and all the negative and persistent thoughts are
stopped or easily replaced by positive ones
• Regulates and balances all body systems:
– Strengthens the immune system (to fight against disease)
– Reduces inflammation (which causes the disease)
– Lowers the blood pressure
– Regulates the level of sugar in blood
• If done in a group, the effects are multiplied by the
synchronicity of the collective brains
