People have been chanting for thousands of years. They have also been meditation for thousands of years. The two go hand in hand.
Recently there has been a lot written about the Law of Attraction and the amazing things that can result when this law is understood and practiced. Because I do believe that this is true and that it works beautifully when applied, I offer to you for your consideration and your use!
The Law of Intention and Desire: Inherent in every intention and
desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment. Intention and desire in the field
of pure potentiality have infinite organizing power. When we introduce an
intention in the fertile ground of pure potentiality, we put this infinite
organizing power to work for us.
I will put
the Law of Intention and Desire into effect by making a commitment to take the
following steps:
1. I will make a list of all my desires. I will carry this list with me wherever I go. I will look at this list before I go into my silence and meditation. I will look at it before I go to sleep at night. I will look at it when I wake up in the morning.
2. I will release this list of my desires and surrender it to the womb of creation, trusting that when things don't seem to go my way, there is a reason, and that the cosmic plan has designs for me much grander than even those I have conceived.
3. I will remind myself to practice present-moment awareness in all my actions. I will refuse to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the quality of my attention in the present moment. I will accept the present as it is, and manifest the future through my deepest, most cherished intentions and desires.
Daily Inspiration"When there is no more separation between 'this' and
'that,' it is called the still-point of the Tao. At the still point in the
center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things." -- Chuang Tzu

The Serenity Prayer Chant
Many people who are in recovery from alcoholism, drug addiction, complusive eating or compulsive gambling, repeat the "Serenity Prayer." In some communities, the Serenity Prayer has been set to melody and is chanted, sometimes with the accompaniment.
The nature of chant is that it's repetitive, rhythmic, and has a narrow vocal range so that the average person can chant it. I would say this fits that description!
