I never tried this with lucid dreaming so i can't say that i've had success, but i'm gonna try this and see what happens, do you mean by chanting as in the form of a mantra? ANd how does it feel in your brain? |
|
Recently I've started chanting during meditation. After a little practice my throat vibrations can hit my brain. If its the right pitch I feel a strong tingling sensation in the center of my brain that can expand and reach throughout my mind and body. This is having amazing effects on my meditation and lucid dreaming. |

Yes I am using syllable mantras like Aum, So ham, etc... for me they are easiest to produce the correct vibrations. The key is figuring out how to get the vibrations to hit you internally. I had chanted in the past but was never able to get the internal vibrating, for some reason when I tried it recently I picked up on it real it quick. |

I once had a very deep healing experience with chanting meditation. I was chanting overtones and also noticed how, by altering my chant, I could move the vibrations around my body to vibrate and so loosen certain stressed out, up tight negatively charged Energy-blockades. |

among other teachers taught me
not to overestimate the Value of our Concrete Knowledge;"Common sense"/Rationality,
for doing so would make us Blind for the unimaginable, unparalleled Capacity of and Wisdom contained within our Felt Knowledge;Subconscious Intuition.
Excellent.. didn't realize certain sounds corresponded to each chakra. |

I moved this thread to Beyond Dreaming. I love vibrational chanting. Had a super intense experience with this the other night in fact on LSDXM, never experienced such powerful vibrations in my entire life, felt like my pineal gland was about to jump out of my skull...truly. Took out all the electronic equipment around me though. I wish that wouldn't happen. I worry about my laptop. |

One time when I was on a certain psychedelic...before I even practiced any sort of meditation or vibrational chanting or even knew that the different chakras responded to certain frequencies...back when I was still just learning what the chakras even were...I intuitively discovered that each chakra would start spinning or sort of "wake up" when I sang a note at a certain level or pitch. It was really amazing. I was just using the normal "do, ray, me, fa, so, la, te" ...except that I was tuning them to each chakra. I really really wish I recorded myself, because it felt like I had found the magical sound for each chakra. I might try this again soon, and actually record it so I can remember the exact pitch/tone/vibration and implement these on a daily basis for chakra awakening/cleansing. |

This all sounds sort of like projecting when you're singing. You make the note come from your chest so that it is much louder. Depending on how strong your Diaphram is I'm guessing. There are easy ways of excercising the diaphram if you would want my help. |

Is that sort of like what those Gyuto monks do? That really deep chanting? I've done that before...I was amazed my "voice" could get so deep. I actually recorded a bit of it but it's way too embarrassing to post lol. |

I dont have experience with chanting so much but I know vibrating words in lucid dreams works really well. It makes the words feel like they travel through time and space while also being aware of your body at the same time, especially if you start to talk in your sleep. It's weird. |

I've heard chanting "AUM" can have interesting results in lucid dreams. The one time I went lucid, I tried it briefly. At first nothing happened, but then it started to echo through everything and I felt a sort of intense tension building...it became unpleasant real quickly so I stopped and went off to try and find me some tail. |

Wow! I have absolutely no experience with this whatsoever, nor do I know anything about it. It's something I'd really like to learn though. |

it seems like its a specific pitch but I think there are more factors than just pitch, like speed, volume, throat and mouth position, steadiness, etc.. but pitch seems to be the primary culprit. |

You might benefit from watching other people do this on you tube. Search for...AUM meditation or something like that? Then maybe you can actually hear others do it or demonstrating it. I don't know specific terms to search for and sorry I don't have any links. |

^holy crap! That is awesome. I need to get a gong and some bowls. I would play with that all day!!! I bet it is so intensely relaxing. Thanks for sharing. |

Wow they are expensive. |
|
You don't need a huge set like that. A small one you can hold in your hand is ideal. |
