chanting Can't Post
Dear Yoga interested people,
I have a question that you might be able to answer.
What is chanting? How is it done and wat does it do for you? I saw it yesterday in the netherlands for the first time on television.
It was praktised by a female boxer as training. I heared her mumbling some phrases in a high repetition.
I hope that some one can give some light on my quetions.
Regards Jaap Maaskant

Jaap,
I think that chanting has alot to do with chaneling energy. The same way as some might use prayer or as some might use meditation. Repeating over and over again what your trying to concertrate on so that you can chanel the energy from it more freely. ex. Relaxation, concentration, redirecting the mind.
