Chanting Quotes

“Love, be
mystical

as the flickering
blue flame
of night

as the fully-awoken
moon

beneath cobwebs
of passing clouds

amidst chanting
high-tides

fuzzy,
as my blanket

big enough
to illuminate a hundred
thousand billion galaxies

and just small enough to fit
into my embrace.”
― Sanober Khan, Turquoise Silence

“Many secular observers and spiritual practitioners alike mistake mystical chanting as a kind of anthropological curiosity or interesting musical diversion from secular mainstream entertainment, sometimes labeling it 'world' or 'folk' music. But uttering or chanting spells, mantras or prayers shouldn't be regarded as a romantic excursion to a distant past, or faraway place, or as an escape from our everyday stresses, for relaxation or entertainment. These sounds are meant to be experienced as the timeless unity of energy currents. The chanting of ancient esoteric sounds enables us to realize we are never separate from the one continuously existing omnipresent vibration of the cosmos.”
― Zeena Schreck

“Om is like the universe's "chill pill." It's the cosmic equivalent of hitting pause on life's chaos and tuning into the serene frequency of existence. So, when the world gets a bit too hectic, just close your eyes, channel your inner yogi, and let out a resounding Om. It's like giving your mind a spa day—a soothing escape from the daily grind. Om... Because sometimes, you just need to dial down the drama and dial up the zen.”
― Life is Positive
