Hi Michael, 
   You put it so much better than me in talking about 
the effects of mantras. 
   It reminds me of a 're-write' of the Gospel of 
John I read about a hundred thousand years ago: 
"In the Beginning was the vibration....."  Although 
I'm not a Christian, I found that substitution of 
'vibration' for 'word' very meaningful (you mentioned 
the effect sound has on matter). 
I never had a negative effect using mantras, either 
but I always feel duty bound to warn people because I 
know of sincere practitioners who really went bonkers 
experimenting on their own.  Like the time I experienced 
'Zen madness' which was probably Kundalini gone bad, when 
I first started out, because I didn't know a person 
is supposed to go s-l-o-w-l-y, especially  since I didn't 
have a teacher. 
However....I would be very interested, too, in knowing 
of people out there on the K. List who use a different 
mantra 
for each chakra and what their experience has been.
 
Adele
