I have been doing yoga for many years and I initially came to the practice for the physical but these days I really enjoy the meditative side as much if not more!! I am a nicer and less reactive person because of yoga. I could say I started yoga to tighten my rear but the best part is that it has lightened my head!!!

Now before we get too cozy and think I'm just summing the weird stuff up into "positive thinking", Cymatics (the study of visible sound) makes things more interesting. For the curious, here is a direct example of how sound affects matter both living and non-living, using a tonoscope:

Some say the pitch is more important than the word itself. Since the cymatic patterns are also recreated in water, one is easily left with the notion to contemplate the effects on living beings.
Hope I've invited some food for thought about the "weird chanting" issue, if nothing else.
