Book Reviews of Healing Mantras: Using Sound Affirmations for Personal Power, Creativity, and Healing
Book Review: TWO WORDS: THIS WORKS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used the Lakshmi (for prosperity) and Ganesha (for removal of obstacles) mantras from this book to help me find a job. My unemployment benefits were about to run out and I wasn't finding anything. Despite no background in the industry I am now in, on the 40th (the last) day of my practice, I was hired in an entry level position that will soon lead to more money. Previously, I was getting second interviews, but losing out to other people with more experience.
There is nothing in my resume to suggest that I had an office background or barely even computer skills. I am looking to take a class and explained that in the cover letter and interview. Yet the woman who interviewed and hired me, for some reason, thought I had an extensive background in both! I can't help but feel that the mantras helped me overcome this significant barrier hiring-wise. Now I am using a Saraswati mantra from the book to help me with the learning curve of my new job and another mantra from the book for self confidence and strength which feels VERY powerful and I only just today starting using it. [I also improved my chances of getting hired by scheduling my interviews when the moon was NOT "void of course." See Jim Maynard's Celestial Guides or other resources to know when this is.]
I feel I am only just scratching the surface of what this book can help me do in a variety of areas of my life. I read all kinds of metaphysical books and try to adjust my thinking, but find it hard to break old habits of being fearful or limited in my thinking. What I love about this book is this: it gives you something concrete to DO everyday, twice a day that seems to work, regardless. I spent $13 on a mala to help me count my mantra repetitions and probably did only about 20 minutes of work twice a day. If I had done even more, I think my outcome would have been even better. Yet, from where I started, this is a huge victory for me.
As the author of the book states, mantras don't take the place of, in my case, doing the usual job search actions. However, there is no doubt in my mind that using mantras made all the difference in the outcome. It even, I think, steered me around a deceptive, (what I thought was a) sure-thing job with another company. It turned out that they had gone through five people in a very short time in the position. Not a good sign. I'll leave the descriptions of this book to other reviewers. What I wanted to know when I was deciding to get this book and looking at people's reviews of it was what their outcomes of doing the mantras were. I hope mine will help others to get this book and take this fantastic journey!

Summary of Healing Mantras: Using Sound Affirmations for Personal Power, Creativity, and Healing
"Sound is more than simply a medium of artistic expression. Sound has practical and powerful applications in the real world."Mantras, or simple chants, are short phrases packed with energy and intention--specifically designed to generate powerful sound waves that promote healing, insight, creativity, and spiritual growth. Healing Mantras is the practical, how-to guide that makes the strengths and benefits of mantras available to everyone. The transformative power of sound has been passed down to the present from the sages of India, the classical scientists of ancient Greece, and the medieval monks of Europe. Mantras, sounds, and chants have inspired, comforted, and mended the lives of individuals, religious orders, and even entire cultures. Even though the science and discipline of chanting and formal prayer are practiced in every religion around the world, this is the first time that ancient Sanskrit mantras have been explained and adapted to Western needs.
One of the few Western experts in Hindu and Buddhist mantras, Thomas Ashley-Farrand has practiced mantra-based spiritual disciplines for twenty-five years. In this illuminating book, he explains how and why mantras work and shows how to use them for everything from controlling habits to overcoming fear, from curing specific ailments to finding inner peace. In each of the more than fifty mantras, all translated from the original Sanskrit, Ashley-Farrand unlocks the power of every word, explains its appropriate application, and tells you how to pronounce it in easy-to-follow phonetic symbols. Inside, you'll find mantras for
- Health - Worldly Success - Habit Control - Protection - Grief - Anger - Controlling Fear - Personal Attraction - Wisdom - Concentration and Mental Clarity - Healing Life Issues - and more!
These mantras can be repeated aloud or in silence and can be used by people of any religion or spiritual practice, "as you wash dishes, as you drive on the freeway, as you meditate, or as you cook." Sound can help and sound can heal, and Healing Mantras now makes this sound medicine available to everyone.
