Mantra Science

Everything in the universe vibrates, all the way down to the bedrock of existence. From the smallest part of the atom all the way up to pulsating stars, everything vibrates. Atoms upon atoms, upon atoms, a whole ocean of electrons, protons, neutrons - making molecules upon molecules upon molecules.  

Light is just vibration. Colors are just vibrations. Sounds are vibrations. Many of these things can be measured. Brainwaves like alpha, beta, and delta, are just vibrations of mental energies. Your whole life, and the whole Universe, is vibrating. The fundamental laws of nature are what keep everything in a state of coherence. That’s one of the reasons things seem so solid and stable.

The body itself is nothing but vibrations. We are giving off vibrations and absorbing vibrations from the environment around us. The sunlight, moonlight, the trees, and ocean tides.. Everything vibrates at its own frequency - and affects the human body in some way. We affect other things, and other things affect us. Have you ever tried influencing a plant? If you are mean or kind to a plant, it will respond. It’s not the exact words you use when you communicate with the plant, but rather the quality of your energy - the tone of your message.

On very subtle levels we are interacting with everyone and everything around us. They yogis of ancient times figured out that sound and other energy waves are typically distributed in a circle. From a central point, energy ripples outwards in a circle. This is why so many objects in space are circular or spherical. So you could say, one way to look at it all is to say, we are all a bunch of intersecting circles. This may be why some of us are good at intuitively knowing about far off people, places, or things.

Another idea to explore is, within our own personal sphere of energies, can we balance and harmonize all of our circles, all of our organs, our frequencies and vibrations? 

We can theorize that when we are ill, or confused, or upset, it could be because our energies are in disharmony, out of balance, with too many conflicting frequencies, disrupting our prana.

When we are peaceful, healthy, intuitive, focused, and resilient, it could be because the frequencies of our heart, mind, and soul, are resonating together in harmonious balance.

The organs in the physical body and the wheels of energy in the subtle-body all have unique vibratory frequencies. How can we harmonize them? Mantra. If you harmonize them - you can then be in greater harmony with the whole universe. 

We want to harmonize our physical, mental, and emotional energies. We want to harmonize our gross, subtle, and causal bodies. And we can do it by repeating a mantra. The mantra itself is made of special vibrations. Every time you repeat the mantra, you are raising a wave in the ocean of your mental energy. That wave then pervades the mind stuff, and ripples out into the universe.

The reason everything is vibrating, the root cause of vibration, is called prana. The sum total of all energies in the universe. Gravitation, electromagnetism, the strong and weak nuclear forces, etc. All these things together are prana. Prana also makes up mental energy, thoughts, words, etc. In the body we think of it mostly as the “vital force” and we often work with it through breathing techniques called pranayama. But the best and most efficient way to harmonize all the systems and get all the factors working together is - mantra repetition (in a slow, smooth, steady rhythm).

We will harmonize the heart and mind. We will harmonize the gross, subtle, and causal bodies. Thereby harmonizing our self with all of creation - and the sum total of all energies - all the way down to the bedrock of existence.
