Mantra Therapy is Poetry Therapy !




















A Roman physician, Soranus, was the first advocate of Poetry Therapy. Tragic poems were prescribed to the manic patients. It is a catharsis of Pity & Fear. Comedy was prescribed to the depressed ! This theme was articulated by Smiley Blanton is his " Healing Power of Poetry " !
Mantras are prayers, written as poems in Sanskrit ! Mantras are thus both poetry and music !
So in Mantra Therapy, we have the double benefits of Poetry and Music therapies !
A mantra is defined as that which protects the mind ( Mananat thrayathe iti mantra ). Mantra elevates, mantra uplifts us to the subime and Mantra heals !
