Mantras have effect on both body and mind. Sound (Acoustics) have been researched and found to have good and bad effect on health. Sound as Music is good and as noise is bad for health of mind and body.
Mantras are musical and have good effects on body and Mind.
Sanskrit have unique sound combination that have greater effects . My dear friends who read this should not be feel insulted because I said somethign great about one language. Every language has its own musical influence.
So even In English one could chant, but the effects will vary.
At begining stage we are aware of the body and mind effects only.
But at next level you will understand that this chanting helps you to keep you mind from wandering. Then in the final stage mantra chanting can help transcending.
When people do chanting with me , I tell them to be aware of the breath and the mantra patterns and in that way one is able to keep the mind in the present instead of wandering. This gives higher health benefits and spiritual benfits too.
