Dear Claire,
SOUND is able to effect the chemistry of the body and mind, and alter thought patterns also. Mantras may be used for religious worship, for japa (repetition), for healing, to help spiritual evolution, for purification, for making offerings etc…
From manual,
Mantras
Handed down since ancient times by religious seers who had attained self-realization by chanting them, mantras are words or syllables in Sanskrit which when repeated in meditation helps you transcend into a higher state of consciousness. As sound energies that have always existed the universe, they cannot be created or destroyed and command the power to heal you physically & spiritually. At the very basic level mantras help you to concentrate in meditation. And once you enter its auspicious circle, the mind instantly gets focussed.
Ayurveda Reiki attunes you for the vital energy frequencies of Ayurvedic Medicine, Mantras, Colors, Planets, Panchamahabootas (empowers you to the metaphysical properties of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space )etc. It is extremely powerful and effective, yet gentle.
Ayurveda angels(like Lord Dhanvantari ) help to diagnose the disease and direct the appropriate frequency energy to the patient.
Suppose you need any particular mantra energy to heal you physically or/ & spiritually then healing frequencies of that particular mantra will flow through you.
This selection will be done by Ayurveda angels.
So, just follow Stephen’s advice. He has very nicely explained. Thanks dear.
