The Meaning of the Intro to "...And So It Begins"

The intro to "...And So It Begins" is the mantra (or chant) to the Throat/5th chakra. It is related to communication and creativity. When the mantra is chanted, it opens the chakra, and releases the energy within that point, in this case the throat. When open, you feel free to speak your mind, express yourself fluently, and feel as if you have a right to your voice.


If the chakra is under-active, you feel:
introverted
shy
intimidated to speek up
no need to tell the truth

If the chakra is over-active, you:
are dominating in conversations
have a tendency to talk over others
speak without listening


The words being spoken in the chant are:
Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Sat Nam Ji,
Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru Ji


Meaning:
Sat means the truth; Nam means to call upon, name or identify with
Sat Nam means "Truth is my identity and I call upon the eternal Truth that resides in all of us"

Wahe Guru is the chant of ecstasy. Its not translatable but chanting it elevates the spirit.


So I hope that reading this helps you understand the Intro to "...And So It Begins"
