The secret behind music
The power of music is due to the fact that it vibrates parts of our body and in this way influences our mental and emotional condition - as in Vipassana for example - emotions and feelings are merely certain patterns of body sensations. Simple as that.
Goenka is making use of this fact in his morning chants to influence the body sensations of the students. Others use certain tunes to invoke trances.
