During a trip to India back in 2001, I was perplexed by the sight of people sitting quietly by themselves, their lips moving silently as they ran beads through their fingers. It took me a long time to discover that they were chanting in Sanskrit.
Sanskrit is the most ancient language we still know and it is intriguing. Whereas our modern languages are languages of meaning, Sanskrit is a language of energy. For instance, in English, we ascribe meanings to each word we use. Trousers means trousers; a bird means a bird. In Sanskrit, each syllable changes energy around it. When we set an intention – e.g. to create better health or more abundance or a better relationship with our spouse, the intention combines with the Sanskrit to produce a powerful change in the energy around us.
Sometimes, if our intention and focus is strong enough, results can be immediate and seemingly miraculous. I remember chanting for a new harp. Three days later, someone offered me their harp!
Chanting in Sanskrit is an enormously powerful way of changing our lives. By deciding what we want, we can begin to carve our new futures for ourselves and take back control of our lives.
