Ok, the way I came to this book is much like I do any other book on philosophy and/or religion...I stumbled upon it. However, timing was on my side and so I purchased the book along with the CD. I've never been so impressed by an introduction book in a philosophy/religion as I was with this one. Not only was it easy to read but they used the traditional terms immediately followed by very clear meanings and usage! Usage! Who would have guessed....yes, meditation fans...usage instructions.

I've been on my practice for 4 days and I'm already seeing results in my person. Meditation is the way to go and this book is the way to help you get there - especially if you are like me and tend to get interrupted by "mind chatter" alot! Having a mantra quiets the mind chatter. Plus, the sounds are actually soothing and easy to make. And no, it's not so weird. I love it and am excited to see just how far I can take this practice!

Changed my life. I was feeling stuck and uncertain about my future. While reading this book, I began chanting om shri shaneshwaraya swaha. Every day, in all the spaces in my day when I was able, out loud and silently to myself. It calmed me, helped me confront past issues, and ultimately gave me Peace.

After reading about Thomas Ashley-Farrand, I purchased two of his mantra CDs. After listening to them, I was hooked but wanted to learn more. The books "Shakti Mantras" and "Healing Mantras" provided the information I was looking for. I use them both as a reference books, looking up things I have questions about, as well as reading straight through. For me, re-reading helps me better understand the layers of mantra.

Loved this book. Very insightful, profound and well written. I'm now looking for it in audio form because although it gives pronounciation guides in the book, I still would like to hear the mantras 1st hand. Loved this book.

Excellent, well written and informative. Mr. Ashley-Farrand delivers instruction on the meaning, purpose and practices of mantra clearly and concisely. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject, whether you are new to mantra practice or an experienced practitioner.

This is a wonderful introduction and on-going reference for Sanskrit mantras, their properties, and using them for meditation and transformation.

Love this book and often revisit for mantra reference.

Very good book for beginners wanting to learn about mantra practice. It also contains some information on the power of sound based spiritual practices and how they affect the spiritual/subtle body. I found the little stories associated with some mantras to be really helpful in understanding the teachings and ancient knowledge of each sound and word.
Marcy –
The part of this book (and accompanying audio CD) that teaches you about the importance of mantras and how to recite them is really useful. So is the part that gets into the history of mantras and the discussion about why they are so powerful and healing. But then there is the part of the book that gets too New Age-y and that really detracts from the rest of the book.
Kattie Compton –
Lots of great information Great book, a little misleading with the title. I was not expecting an autobiography. Much of the information I was after was hidden among personal stories that are often repeating the basic idea of what the mantra did in his experiences. Some of the practices aren't very practical, but I plan to modify it to suit my needs. Lots of great information Great book, a little misleading with the title. I was not expecting an autobiography.

Excellent mantra resource for beginners or more those more experienced. Includes explanations of the mantras and real-life examples. It's one of those books that I refer to regularly. It is required reading for many yoga teacher training programs. Excellent mantra resource for beginners or more those more experienced. Includes explanations of the mantras and real-life examples.

A- Super interesting; great for any yogi, healer, or anyone interested in the power of mantras. I bought this book as a reference to use in my meditation actvities. Will be using some of these. The anecdotes can be long but are pretty interest.g

The author is assuredly not a writer. Has helpful information regarding Buddhist chanting practice.

Mantras are...interesting. As a lifelong yoga practitioner, I was interested to read more about them, but I liked the breadth of Ashley-Farrand's other book, 'Shakti Mantras,' a bit better.
