My Experience With Chanting

I wanted to share some of my realisations with chanting....we have been listening everyday about the mind and how to have it engaged in chanting and hearing the Holy Names during japa, however we may not apply those facts to our lives. That's what happened to me these days, I can say my mind was really taking over the situation, I was feeling weak everytime I took my beads, I was getting frustrated for not having the desire to chant, I was thinking that I could control everything and I wasn't giving too much attention to the basic guidelines.

My japa was fast and mispronounced - so I said to myself, this situation needs to end and I must fix it, I can't let the mind control it. So I started looking for lectures on the topic, applied some exercises on concentration - reading the mantra while chanting, visualizing it on my mind sometimes. Everytime I took my beads I prayed for assistance and commited myself to chant most of my rounds before work.

Wow I am experiencing the results now, I am feeling so well that I don't want to have any other feeling but this in my life. The names really make difference when you can feel the presence of the Lord. I am another person, now blessed by the power of proper chanting. I need to pray every day so I can mantain this vow and have it for a lifetime. I just want to always have intelligence given by the Lord to overcome obstacles and have a new experience with Him everytime I take my beads.
