Q: How does chanting achieve this?

A: Chanting is a science called One-Star Spirituality which tunes and attunes you.  Think of yourself as a Divine instrument with strings.  When you chant, the vibration of the strings causes all thirty trillion cells of your body to dance, which forms the patterns that shape you physically, emotionally and mentally. 

 

You are created with seventy-two “surs” or strings.  They vary in dominance over a seventy-two hour period.  The crown chakra, the thousand petalled lotus, impacts each of these strings with a thousand fold vibration.  Hence you have seventy-two thousand vibratory impacts that send energy throughout your system and which create your system. 

 

The central tuning string is the   main vagus nerve of the para-sympathetic system which is called the Ik Tara, One-Star.  It acts as a tuning drone for all the other strings.  When the central channel of the shushmana in the spine is activated and the two support channels of ida and pingala move with it, the entire system begins to vibrate. 

 

When you chant, at first it is conscious and out loud, then it becomes mental.  If the rhythm is right and your concentration and surrender to its pulse is practiced, then your central nervous system vibrates it and you simply listen.
