The Magic Of Chanting

In what way is chanting like a cup of blueberries or a bowl of chicken soup? Other than the fact that your mom has always said these are good for you, there is incontrovertible proof that all have the ability to raise immunoglobulin levelsa marker of immune system functioning.

Chanting has healing properties, says Dr. Robert Gass, author of Chanting: Discovering Spirit in Sound. Studies have shown that breast tumors shrink through chanting several hours each day for a month. Researchers taking samples of children’s saliva before they sang showed that children who sang experienced definite physiological changes; their immune system was boosted by song.

Recent medical research shows that chanting increases oxygen levels in cells, lowers blood pressure, releases endorphins, reduces stress-related hormones and boosts production of interleukin-1 (protein associated with blood and platelet production). But there is more, chanting shifts our consciousness, allows us to vibrate internally and collectively and experience what Quantum physicists call the implicate order of waves and frequencies.
