		<description>I have just been recently introduced to the practise. My question is how long does it take usually to get a victory? a month or more of chanting or longer.  </description>

		<description>December 12, 2010

I have known of NMRK for many years.
I have practiced meditation and chanting 
for many years as well.
Recently, I just &quot;felt&quot; drawn to beginning 
this practice in earnest after chatting 
briefly with a practitioner who had 20+ years 
of experience.  Thus far I have had one 
interesting experience.  I chanted before I 
went to sleep at 11:30 PM PST Saturday night.
I had to wake up at 4:00 AM PST.
Instead I was WIDE awake at 2:50 AM PST.
I feel pretty good but, seeing as it is Sunday morning, 
I am going back to sleep.
Thank you for posting this site.
I will continue to practice and research this matter.
Namaste&#039;
Scot

		<description>Whoops! Forgot all about asking that Q. But thanks for the response Sidharth. I got a lot out of the first answer on mental focus. But to be honest I&#039;m still unclear about how often I &quot;should&quot; be chanting to effect change in my life. I used to feel positive change happening more when I chanted but not so much anymore. It just doesn&#039;t seem as effective. Weird. Note; I moved during that period of time and usually end up facing a WINDOW or focusing at a point several feet away. Today I will try 1) clearing my mind/no focus on the subject matter I need sorted out and 2) I will focus on the wall about arm&#039;s distance away. P.S. Not a member of SGI P.S.S. Also, I think window&#039;s can be tricky. Feng Shui says they let thoughts fly away. I say at night they turn into mirrors.</description>

		<description>First thing first! I am really sorry for late reply!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That&#039;s an interesting analogy!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ah yes, chanting sometimes can feel a bit weird. It&#039;s more of a faith thing - developing and directing your belief system. More like emptying yourself. it&#039;d take a book to describe the science of chanting.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I usually chant for half an hour as a practice. I am active member of Soka Gakkai International. Google it ;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers!</description>

		<description>Hi Sid,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;ve chanted on and off for a few years.  I&#039;ve heard chanting liked to a spinning top - it takes a while to get the momentum going but when the inertia is strong enough the top continues to spin for an indefinite time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;ve been inspired from chanting for hours at a time.  Other times a certain chant doesn&#039;t feel as comfortable and nothing seems to happen.  Either way, try not to judge.  That&#039;s the essence of life really; don&#039;t judge.  Everything *is*, whether it&#039;s meditating, chanting, or living.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How often do you chant buddy?  I&#039;ve focused on meditating while acting only when inspired recently, which is the only acting we should all be taking :)</description>
