How to Use Chantras to Calm and Uplift

Chantras are short, simple songs similar to chants and mantras.  Singing the few lines repeatedly can have big effects on one’s mood and body.

There are several chantras on my YouTube channel that you can listen and sing along to to get a feel for what they can do for you.

Choose one that resonates with you, then follow these 4 quick and easy steps to experience a shift or uplift in your mood, energy, or attitude:

1. Check in and describe how you feel in one word, eg. sad, nervous, stressed, scattered…

2. Sing along with the chantra (here’s one to try) for 4 repetitions.

3. Pause.  Take 3 deep, relaxing breaths.

4. Describe how you now feel, using only one word.

What do you notice?  Have you felt a shift?  Keep going with more repetitions if you feel called to.

Please share in the Comments below any differences you notice in your breathing, mood, energy or awareness.

Music heals!
