The Mystical Chakra Mantras: How To Balance Your Own Chakras With Mantra Yoga - Paperback

by Harrison Graves MD (Author)

Welcome to this interactive ebook on the chakra mantras. Interactive? Because of the links to the companion videos on YouTube where you can learn how to chant. Here you will find easy-to-understand answers to these three questions and more: 1. What is the chakra system, and why is it so important? 2. What makes Sanskrit mantras unique? 
3. What Sanskrit mantras are used to tune (activate and balance) the chakras? 
 As a bonus, in Chapter 4, I will introduce you to the Yoga of Sound, the much larger system of sound healing of which the chakra mantras are an important part. 
 Finally, I'll end the book with my prescription for you, a recommended home practice, or mantra sadhana. 
 As a medical doctor, I used to prescribe pills. As a mantra yoga practitioner, I now prescribe mantras. I go straight to the healing mantra appropriate for the condition. I believe that Mantra Yoga will become the new psychiatry, a path back to wellness without prescription drugs and their side effects.

Author Biography

After a 30 year career as a board-certified ER physician, including associate faculty at UNC-CH, Dr. Graves gave up his Western medical practice in order to teach mantra yoga. His sound yoga mentor had been Russill Paul (Anirud Jaidev) of Chennai, who accepted him as a student for a one-year Yoga of Sound internship back in 2002. After 9 years of mantra sadhana and a trip to India, he began to teach mantra yoga in area yoga studios, and, along with Mantrakaya Sarasvati, formed the kirtan band, OM Nation. In 2014 he created the OM Channel as a YouTube companion to his books and as a global vehicle for teaching the Yoga of Sound. His next book will be Mystical Mantras for Anxiety and Depression.
