I am curious about the chanting issues with regards to feeling  
comfortable, and not feeling embarrassed, well, since i go thru that  
cycle everytime i open my mouth, regardless if it is chanting,  
singing, or just talking.  Sometime, depending on the action i may be  
engaging in, i wonder if my mind is moving faster than the my vocal  
cords.  I am aware that there are certain things happening in the  
mind, at different levels, such as the voice is being emmited, and  
there is the observing portion of the brain that sometimes listens to  
what is being expressed, which can then result in dualistic  
grapling with is it "good or bad".  This is of coarse called  
something, but i'm forgetting at the momment. 
 
What i'm sorta wondering is, what are ways to get beyond this  
functioning of self-discrimination that seems to function as a  
deterent from time to time, for me anyway, from saying something, or  
singing, or chanting?  
 
I am aware that the functioning of what the mind is doing applies to  
other actions as well, however, i figured questioning the  
chanting/singing thing was at least relative, to the momment.
 
In the process of chanting, i notice, when i'm comfortable, the 
sounds  
and the "viberations" and their locations, then sometimes I get  
carried away, but at least now i notice myself getting carried away, 
a  
bit more than i used to.  This not to say things are perfect,  
no,no,no,not yet.
 
I suppose some of the reactions are related to increased vibrational  
states, and a lack of awareness on how to deal with them when things  
feel like they are going "hay wire".  Sort of like the schizophrenic  
thing, where the voice and the mind get caught up and lost in time  
space or something, and the way things get expressed get all messed  
up.
 
Anyway, back to the question, oh...damn...i forgot it...
 
oh yeah, what are good deterants from this unstable state of  
communication or states, since i really didn't specify any spefic  
"vibrational state"?
 
I suppose getting to know ones own state of comfort helps...hmmm
 
take care 
erik
