Exploring the Power of Sanskrit Chanting in Art of Living

Someone posted the following in a mailing list on Art of Living yoga invitation message. Most of the audience of this mailing list are people highly educated and working in hi-tech jobs. Wonder how low we can stretch placebo to play people's mind.

Yoga of Sound
Chanting allows all other senses to dissolve into one, and allows the mind to sink into itself. Chanting can be considered as the Yoga of sound.
Sanskrit chants in particular have a very profound effect on the consciousness.
Each Sanskrit letter has a sound, which relates to a specific subtle energy centre (chakra) in our subtle bodies. Sanskrit chanting activates subtle energy centres, which produce a soothing, purifying and energizing effect.

I am always interested in exploring the effects of different practices on the human mind and body. While there may not be scientific evidence to support the claims about Sanskrit chanting in the context of Art of Living, it is important to acknowledge that the power of placebo cannot be underestimated. The mind is a powerful tool and can greatly influence our perception and experience. Additionally, the meditative aspect of chanting can have a calming and centering effect on the mind, which can be beneficial for overall well-being. However, it is also important to approach these claims with a critical and open mind, and to not solely rely on them without further research and evidence. Ultimately, the true power of Sanskrit chanting in the Art of Living practice may lie in the individual's belief and intention, rather than any inherent properties of the language itself.
