Description
Within our human heritage is a vast storehouse of magical words, mantras, invocations and chants handed down from ages past. The ancients used these sacred sounds to still the mind, heal the body, and attain higher states of consciousness. These sounds are their gifts to us, and they are revealed at last in this fascinating and instantly usable manual.
Words of Power is the first such work of a universal nature, with a selection of potent sounds in Egyptian, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Arabic, Greek, Latin, English and others. Presented in an easy-to-learn format, Words of Power contains simple keys to correct pronunciation, suggested meditations, and detailed explanations of esoteric meanings and functions.
By exposing ourselves to melodious music, a running stream or birds singing, we can repair at least some of the damage done by the unwanted and discordant noise of our “civilized” way of life. Perhaps and even more significantly, we may then elect to move a step forwards [or, more correctly upwards] by tuning in to the hidden “sounds of the soul”. This can be achieved by listening to or learning to in tone certain invocations and chants, magical words and mantras handed down from ages past and developed to stimulate very specific effects-calming, healing, elevating, and transforming.
By its very action, participation in sacred sound stimulates our intuitive insight, and greatly enhances our capacity for making correct choices. These tries and tested mantras, chants and incantations of high potency come from many cultures and are presented in an easy-to follow format, with guides for correct pronunciation. While other available “mantra” books are exclusively Hindu/Sanskrit in content, Words of Power is the first such work of a universal nature.
Words of Power explores the origin of the first mantra, the many names of Allah, the important sacred phrase common to all ancient cultures, the meanings of the words of power to part the Red Sea. It demonstrates the benefits of various mantrical disciplines, how to harmonize the five bodies, balance the biological centers, and disperse negativity through the power of sound.
There is an urgency in the air, a desperate need for a new positive vision for humankind, based on mutual cooperation, respect, and shared wisdom. The true citizens of the “New Age” are not hidebound by any one creed or indoctrination system, but are free to accept and use the rich heritage of positive practical knowledge handed down by our forebears, regardless of source. Among these priceless legacies are the sounds that speak to our souls and to the universe they are Words of Power.
