The scientific use of sound to affect consciousness is called Mantra Yoga. Next to breathing (necessary for any endeavor), the use of Mantra is the most important aspect of the practice of Kundalini Yoga."MAN" means Mind. "TRA" means to tune the vibration (just as one tunes the guitar). Mantra is the sound current which tunes and controls mental vibration. Silence makes you aware of the many experiences of the mind while repeating mantra aloud restructures the patterns in the mind that allow experience.
Chanting mantras either silently or aloud is a conscious method of controlling and directing the mind. Happiness, sorrow, joy and regret are vibratory frequencies in the mind. Call them atttitudes or beliefs but fundamentally they are vibratory frequencies or thought waves. They determine the kind of program our mind plays. What we choose becomes our vibration, defines how we feel and what we project to others. And we have the right and access to choose differently at any time.
So think of yourself as a divine instrument with strings. When you chant, the vibration of the strings causes all thirty trilion cells of your body to resonate, to dance - forming the patterns that shape you physically, emotionally and mentally.
