What are the differences in a Mantra- (energy vibration of soune-either head cavity or chest cavity) Chants..repetitive for trance-in-dental meditation (haha), Kirtan- musical devotional performance/sing along... I am sleep delirious I was with Guru and had a full break down, laugh attack- eyes watering, bent over, gasping and snorting..I couldn't even speak to tell him what I found so hilarious. He didn't care, he just giggled in enjoyment at my laughing. I told him I had to miss another Sadhana and I would be at Day 1 (For the 3rd time)again- just the thought seemed deliciously hysterically funny? I am losing my grip! My mind, my control...and my sleep- Sadhana is prime grounds for breaking down the old and transforming into...what this time? A pumpkin-

Mantras are sacred energy-based sounds.

Chanting can be of mantras or songs, or verses or mystic formulas; such as, Gregorian Chants, Aboriginal Chants, Kabalistic Chants in Hebrew,etc.

Kirtan is a devotional chant. Kirtan consists of a leader who sings a chant and then it is repeated by followers. Many traditions use Kirtan, and is part of Bhakti Yoga.

This is my understanding.
Blessings,
