You already use sound as medicine.
But for the most part unknowingly and without much focus.
This 'sound medicine' is your favourite playlists-- the music you like.
It's the voices of those you love and trust-- the ones you call just to hear their voice (and sometimes their words!) to feel better.
We use sound all of the time to create changes in our mood & body.
Just think of the music you play when you work out and the music you use to relax. You're using sounds of different words, different speeds, rhythms & different vibrations to shift your energy level & mood.
Mantra work on this same primordial level of energy: sound vibration.
Each mantra creates a frequency that corresponds to a specific state of awareness & being.
Like a radio channel....somewhat.
But instead of FM and AM, mantra use the Sanskrit alphabet--which is sound-vibration based-- to bring about a specific frequency and effect.
Whether you've never used Sanskrit before or are an adept at it, use this 3 mantra practice and invite your frequency shift to one of good health, wisdom & resilience.
Rx: chant once a day upon waking, while still in bed:)

What happens if I don't get the pronunciation right?
Nothing.
Mantra do indeed work on the level of vibration and we gradually work towards perfecting pronunciation in order to evoke a specific frequency of sound and associated state of consciousness. That being said, the intention with which we chant, and the bhav (the feeling) are often more powerful catalysts for the mantra than its pronunciation.
