Feeling Is More Important

Your feeling is the main indicator of your focus and direction. Words are secondary.  When chanting mantras and repeating affirmations it is important to visualize the object of your attention and feel happy about what you are focusing on.  If you are feeling resistance to the object of your attention it doesn’t matter what you are chanting or saying, your feeling will determine the efficacy and ultimately the outcome of your chants and repetitions.

The words and sounds are important in the sense that they help you to associate a feeling with an image and representation of the object of your focus.  But no matter how many words and sounds you offer if you don’t focus on the visualization of your subject and have the feeling of attainment then it will not be effective.
