MSRT (Mind Sound Resonance Technique)

MSRT – The Nine Stages

Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT) is a guided yogic relaxation and meditation practice that uses the vibrations of sacred sounds and mantras to harmonize the body, mind, and emotions. Through the resonance of sound, practitioners gradually experience deep physical relaxation, mental calmness, and heightened inner awareness.

The practice of MSRT is completed in the following nine stages:

01Opening Prayer with Sankalpa (Positive Resolve). Begin the practice with a short prayer followed by a positive Sankalpa (resolve or affirmation), repeated mentally with sincerity and conviction.
02Three Rounds of A-U-M Chanting. Chant the three syllables A, U, and M three times, allowing their vibrations to resonate throughout the body.
03Three Rounds of Audible and Silent A-U-M Chanting. Practise A-U-M chanting in both forms: Ahata (audible chanting with sound) and Anahata (silent mental chanting without producing any sound). Perform three rounds of each.
04Three Rounds of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra Chanting. Chant the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra three times with full awareness, allowing its sound vibrations to create a deep sense of peace and inner harmony.
05Three Rounds of Audible and Silent Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra Chanting. Repeat the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra in both forms: Ahata (audible chanting) and Anahata (silent mental chanting). Perform three rounds of each.
06Three Rounds of Silent A-U-M Chanting. Practise Anahata A-U-M chanting, mentally repeating the sacred syllable without any vocalization, while maintaining complete awareness of the subtle inner vibrations.
07Experience the Resonance. Remain in silence and observe the resonance and vibrations produced by the chanting. Experience how these subtle vibrations spread throughout the body, reaching every organ, every tissue, and every cell, bringing a profound sense of relaxation, harmony, and inner stillness.
08Repeat the Sankalpa. Mentally repeat your positive Sankalpa nine times with complete faith, clarity, and emotional involvement.
09Closing Peace Prayer. Conclude the practice with a peace prayer, allowing yourself to remain for a few moments in silence, absorbing the calmness and serenity generated by the practice.

MSRT – Preparation

Lie comfortably in Shavasana (Corpse Pose) on a yoga mat or a firm bed, or sit comfortably on a chair with your spine erect and your body completely relaxed.

Gently close your eyes.

Bring your awareness to your natural breathing. With every inhalation, feel fresh energy flowing into your body. With every exhalation, visualize all toxins, fatigue, and stress leaving your body.

Gradually allow your inhalation and exhalation to become smooth, rhythmic, and balanced.

Now make a Sankalpa (positive resolve). Keep it completely personal and do not share it with anyone. Your Sankalpa should be short, clear, specific, and expressed in positive language.

1. Chant the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

As you chant the mantra, become aware of the subtle vibrations produced throughout your body. Simultaneously contemplate its meaning:

“I surrender myself to the Three-Eyed Lord (Lord Shiva), who is fragrant and the nourisher of all beings. Just as a ripe fruit naturally separates from the vine, may I also be liberated from mortality, fear, and all forms of bondage, and attain the state of immortality.”

Remain aware of the peace and harmony created by the vibrations of the mantra.
