[Better Living through Sanskrit Vowels Chanting]


As I mentioned in my earlier article about AUM/OM and Nitric Oxide posted on 12 June 2016, the practice of these mantras will help us to boost the production of Nitric Oxide in our body. The science of mantras was derived from the eternity and omnipresence of primordial sound, as realized by the rishis (sages) of Vedic times in the state of deep trance.
The rhythmic chanting of these mantras or some basic Sanskrit Vowels with mental concentration (and hence at a consistent pace) will generate distinct flow of the specific currents of energy which subsequently induces a distinct impact on the mental and emotional state especially for those who have very weak mind.
Personally, as a Healer, the exact pronunciation of the Mantra language is not very important but the vibration of each Vowels which can produce Nitric Oxide is important. You can begin this practice with the middle tone for 4 times; continue with the lower tone for 3 times and higher pitch for 4 times each set and direct their vibration to the different part of your body and organs.
Begin with some of these simple Sanskrit vowels :
– अ (a): Pronunciation of this vowel has a direct, though subtle, impact on the heart. The pumping action of the heart – especially its operation of pumping out oxygenated (pure) blood – is supported by this accent. Repeated loud enunciation of this vowel at constant amplitude helps regulate the supply of pure blood from the heart to various part of the body. In mantra vijnana this vowel is regarded to possess creative power.
– आ (ā): The sound of this vowel affects the chest and the upper parts of the lungs. Its impact strengthens the upper ribs, helps clean the digestive canal and also energizes the mind. Controlled and repeated enunciation of this vowel can be very useful in the cure of asthma and chronic cough.
इ – ई (i – ī): Stretched pronunciation of these has a direct positive effect on the throat and its connections with the brain. This activates the upper chamber of the heart. Cleansing of the respiratory tract and the intestines is performed by regular stimulation by the continuous sound of these sharp vowels. People suffering from chronic headaches or cardiac ailments should benefit from consistently exercising the repeated ‘chanting’ of these vowels. Short-tempered or mentally depressed persons are also advised to follow the practice of rhythmic recitation of these accents.
उ – ऊ (u – ū): Pronunciation of this vowel has direct positive impact on the organs in the middle and the lower parts of the body – namely, the liver, stomach and the lower intestine. It reduces the weight of the belly. Constipation can be cured by regular recitation of these vowels over a continuous stretch of time. Women suffering from diseases of the abdomen would also benefit from such exercises.
ए – ऐ (e – ai): The sound of this vowel has an impact on the kidneys and also on the junction of the throat and respiratory tract. Repeated pronunciation of this vowel helps cure of renal (urinary) diseases. Rhythmic enunciation of these strengthens the soft membranes inside the vocal cord and hence it is very useful for the singers or teachers who have to sing/speak, at a constant pace, for relatively longer periods of time.
ओ – औ (o – au): The natural functioning of genital organs and the muscles and veins of its peripherals are strengthened by the sound of this vowel. The regular practice of chanting this vowel also stimulates the central part of the chest and is useful in supporting the cure of pneumonia and pleurisy.
अं (am): Inhaling of oxygen with the humming sound of this vowel indeed helps increase one’s vital energy. It also activates healthy increase in the RBCs and purifies the blood. The practice of pranayama is an integral part of all yoga exercises; prolonged pronunciation of ‘am’ is the root of perfection in the former.
While pronouncing the ‘a’ part of this vowel our lips and mouth are kept open and the lips are closed at the time of ‘m’…. This should be practised with a feeling that – all our evils have gone out in the first phase and we have closed their re-entry in the second phase. Regular practice of this simple exercise is very beneficial for psychological uplifting too.
अ: (ah): Its pronunciation titillates the tongue and the upper frontal part of the palate and creates useful conduction effects in the brain. Recitation of this vowel, under deep meditation, stimulates the secretion of specific hormones that regulate the harmonious functioning of all components/organs of the body.
Open laughter also serves repeated enunciation of this vowel. This is the secret of the “laughing exercise” being so effective a remedy against stress and depression.Apart from inducing positive effects on the body and the mind, specific practices of chanting these basic vowels (accents) help spiritual growth as well. These aspects are covered in the context of Nada Yoga and Music.

Apart from inducing positive effects on our body and mind, specific practices of chanting these basic vowels (accents) will further help our spiritual growth as well. These aspects have been covered in my article - Nada Yoga and Music.
The key to practise this vowel chanting is do not allow youself to become stressed. Just remember to relax youself and you can practise this any time and anywhere regardless of whether you are driving a car, walking along the seaside or gardening etc.
Further, this vowels chanting do not need to be in sequence. Just allow youself to enjoy and open your heart and mind!
