Mantras are the repeated words, sounds or phrases in one of the sacred languages (Sanscrit or Gurmuki). Though affirmations have a powerful effect on the mind, taking one from a negative to a positive mind-set, mantras take you from the polarities of the positive-negative mind to the Universal, neutral mind, and link the finite self with the Infinite Self.

You will also hear the word Naad in connection with Kundalini Yoga mantras. Naad means “the essence of all sound.” It is a particular vibration, a fundamental frequency that comes from one common source or sound current. It is the universal code behind language and therefore behind human communication.

We can alter consciousness by changing the chemical composition of the fluids in the brain. There are eighty-four meridian points on the upper palate of a human’s mouth. The tongue stimulates those meridian points, and they in turn stimulate the hypothalamus which makes the pineal gland radiate. When the pineal radiates, it creates a pulse in the pituitary gland. When this happens to the pituitary, the entire glandular system secretes. Then the chemical composition of the brain becomes balanced, automatically changing one’s outlook on life.
