Mantras use the energy of sacred sound to bring benefit to the human body and psyche. This is done through vibration, content, and repetition, and the purpose is to harmonize the energy of one’s heart, mind, and body. The creation of this balance of energy has been used for centuries to access and open the human heart and mind and connect them to spiritual powers. Most mantras consist of simple words or sounds that evoke a deep resonance.

These mantras were adapted here for Tongue Drum and Handpan and they are possible to play on most drum models. Songs have been transposed for a steel drum sound range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified.

The steel tongue drum (aka tong drum, tank drum, gluck-o-phone, hapi, or steeldrum) and the handpan (aka hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum, meditation, healing, or chakra drum) are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body. The main purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world.
