So all genuine spiritual practices, prayer, meditation, chanting, cleanliness, study, offering and thanking for our food etc etc, help, encourage and enable the living entity to train the mind and intelligence to be positive, nurturing, forgiving and staying on the happy and optomistic side of life. If these prctices were taught more and actually practiced then the world would be a very different place. World regardless, we as individuals can take action in our own lives.

Theory is useless if not practiced.

Thanks aroundthetable
All these practices you mention are very powerful.
every time you use a mantra or specific chant you are tapping into and adding to that energy. Some of these mantras etc have been chanted for thousands of years, by thousand if not millions of devotees, the build up of energy is phenomenal.
I am the change, I want to see. It doesnt get any more personal or powerful than that
Things they are a changing, buckle you seatbelts.
Love Chris
