Healing Mantras: Using Sound Affirmations for Personal Power, Creativity, and Healing

My book was ordered an delivered in the time slot expected. It was good to know when it was out for delivery. The book was in excellent condition as described. Thank you for the excellent service given.

Has helped me through some difficult times.

Being a Yoga and meditation practitioner and also having worked for most of my career with children with sensory impairments, I know how important the use of repetitive sound is for healing. This book confirms my beliefs and is a very informative and readable account of the use of mantras in different cultures, and throughout periods of history. It is practical in its application, and inspires you to start immediately. It empowers you with knowledge (that is sometimes held in mystique) and the tools to try something unique and individual for yourself.It can have astonishing results for those who follow its suggestions and is a catalyst for change. Prepare to be amazed if you take it onboard seriously or be mildly fascinated if you just read it intellectually and don't want to apply it personally.

I got this CD on the strength of the 2 glowing reviews and was not disappointed. Ashley-Farrands certainly knows his stuff and is an excellent teacher.If I have a criticism - and it seems hardly fair - it is that his voice does not have the incisive 'edge' that make mantras chanted by native Indians so hypnotic. You never forget that he is a white American. Of course this is merely a personal preference and should not detract anyone from buying this otherwise excellent CD. I suppose if I were to draw a parallel it would be Lon Milo Duquette's Tarot teaching deck which tells you all you want to know while not necessarily being the deck you would work with day to day.

I love this book I have it myself , in fact I love it so much that when my adult son mentioned he was practicing meditation I bought it for him . I would normally have given it 5 stars but when it arrived I realized unlike mine it didn't have a cd of the mantras to help with your practice which was a real shame

I love the sound of the voice on this mantra CD, which I think really helps when you want to get into a meditative, centered state. It is very rich and pure. The mantras work for me, and the very act of repeating them creates a wonderful sense of 'being in the now'. He breaks down each mantra into 'bite size' pieces which makes it easy for anyone to follow. This mantra CD is ideal for you if you want to learn how to chant, and if you want to achieve specific things with your chanting (like improved health, abundance etc). I have also read the book which is very interesting.

Order fulfilled in timely fashion and was well packaged. This is a comprehensive guide to the phonectic pronounciation, meaning and application of mantras and was bought together with the accompanying CD (see separate review). In addition, the author adds great value in describing some history and personal teaching and healing experiences. I was very pleased with such an introduction to the practice and would highly recommend the purchase as excellent value for money.

Really good book. I am new to mantras but this explains them really easily and straight forward. No woo woo. These are not affirmations but real sanskrit mantras. Good book for this total beginner.
