Why do we recite mantras in Kundalini Yoga?
When you pronounce mantras in the vibratory language of Sanskrit, you are pressing meridian points on the roof of the mouth with the tongue (like sending keyboard code into a computer). This code is sent to the hypothalumus which in turn sends it to your pineal and pituitary glands. Your glands chemically interpret these messages to bring about certain changes: breaking bad habits, cleansing the garbage stored in the subconscious mind, creating new more positive life habits and attitudes.
