I wanted to ask does chanting mantras like gayatri mantra or any other mantras for spiritual purposes throughout the day, affect results from subliminal?

I think it would be the other way round subs will have a good affect on you chanting mantras since subs are tools that help you achieve your goals. If you have spiritual goals with chanting mantras Subs will help you with that.
It also depends what your goals are with chanting mantras, because I vaguely remember someone on the forum used to chant Kamdev Mantra with seduction subs and it helped them apparently.

Since I always use physical shifting subs/cores, the only mantra I use is during my workout;
āLIGHTWEIGHT BABYYYYYYā
Boosts my gains

Om Mani Padme Hum
Ek Ong Kar
Harashivashankura
And, so on.

I donāt want to drag this topic off-course, but if anyone is willing to share some insight into how mantras work scientifically, I would love if you could PM me. Yes, I can Google it, but if anyone has already looked into it, especially combined with personal experience, I would greatly appreciate the jumping-off point.
Mantras are not words they are sound vibrations and every mantra generate a different sound vibration. These sound vibrations are the building blocks of our universe. Mantras are the most ancient vibrations even before our universe existed these mantras were already there. We see them as words but the sound generated with collection of those words and letters generate a very powerful vibration. Try this- say AAHHHH with your mouth open and slowly close your mouth like closing the shutter it should sound like- AAAAHHHH OOHHHH MMMMMM you feel the vibrations on your stomach where sex chakra is there and youāll also feel it on your solar plexus chakra which is just below the chest.
Mantras vibrate on atomic level and they bring about change in your DNA itself.

The vibration theory is one such idea as @Starseed pointed out.
An attempt to stimulate certain states of consciousness.
An exercise in focusing and sustaining attention. The Buddhist might say āto eliminate monkey mindā.

Yes, Cause Buddhist donāt believe in God they believe in the higher consciousness- As humans we are under the influence of the GOD and GODS are under the influence of the mantras and their vibrations.

Very much appreciated! I see thereās been quite a few great things happening around here.
I personally canāt say exactly how mantras work. Mostly because, what makes them āworkā is similar to trying to explain how prayer works.
That being said, @Starseed got into the introductory aspect and @RVconsultant said something that was what got me interested in them months ago;
Letās talk subliminals.
Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Se So Hnn (spelling may be off)
This mantra was one that I personally used with stacks of mine. It has multiple reported benefits but the one that I consistently saw using this one during work is that, it cleared my mind of frustration, irritation and so on with the more difficult customers we had.
Chanting this mantra aloud, I could go from tense, snarky, angry to calm, peaceful, serene, accepting within minutes. I havenāt chanted it so consistently lately, hence the past tense language.
Chanting this one within (silently, in other words) for me has too many benefits to really count but, I used to do it with this mantra, along with Om Mani Padme Hum and others before and during my stack queue.
What I used to call The Looming in older journals, a certain flavor of recon, dissipates like a whisp of black smoke floating into a clear sky; the longer I watched it while chanting, the more the clarity would be and less there would be of the intrusive, self-defeating, āprojection-of-selfā commonalities in myself that we all experience.
Iām not an expert on mantras by any means. There is an artist named Ajeet and she incorporates mantras into her music.
One of my favorites is called Chattr Chakkr Vartee and I used to sing it to my youngest boy when he was in his earliest months to go to sleep. I learned this song and googled each of the lyrics in order to understand what I was saying.
All I can really say about mantras is, similar to things like subliminals, you can only truly appreciate their power by giving them a go

Iām looking more for clinical studies; for context, this relates to something Iām doing for my day job actually, not just a random query for my subliminal interests.
From what Iāve seen, there is a definite effect from intoning mantrasā¦ Iāve directly performed/experienced Om meditations many times, as well as Tibetan singing bowls both in-person and as recorded audio, as well as guided Japa meditationsā¦ originally with a recording from Wayne Dyer, but from others since then.
What Iām trying to sort out is how much is a physiological response to the resonance of the sounds themselves vs expectations (placeboā¦) vs something intrinsic to the words (or specific tones, in the case of the bowls, though this would probably fall under the resonance category).
Iām seeking any evidence of the latter.
This is the most interesting to me so far: The neurophysiological correlates of religious chanting | Scientific Reports
Science lags here. And some of the popular studies werenāt very good.
For a long time, it was Herbert Benson talking about the Relaxation Response.
Basically comes down to parasympathetic activation. Two required elements: repetitive stimulus and stable attention. Signals the body that it is safe to focus on parasympathetic activities.
Probably accurate, but thatās also pretty primitive.
Western science lacks highly developed paradigms for parsing consciousness or phenomenological processes in general.
this has been an info-dump.
Good night.

Yes, Bensonās work has come up quite a bit already in my limited research. The quandary Iām in at the moment is even the best studies (that Iāve found so far at least) involved people who were conscious of the intended effect of the mantras or chants, so even when non-intent chants were used, the subjects knew they were the placebo onesā¦ thatās problematic.
Without knowing (or looking upā¦) the meanings, 2 people might repeat the following mantras and have different effects from each other, or exactly the sameā¦
Om Kriya Vira Shanti
Om Mani Padme Hum
Om Shanti Sat Jyoti
Iām really curious about what different people experience with those 3 mantras, without looking them up. The middle one is well-known, of course, but itās plausible for someone to have heard of it without knowing what it means.
edit: ā¦and I seem to have managed to drag this off-topic anyway. My apologies to the OP! We can take this to PMs or start a new topic.

To be fair, you DID ask for PMs originally. So weāre the ones who dropped the ball there.
