That's awesome to hear. It's nice to hear other peoples experience with this, since all I really had was my grandparents. They are part of SGI. My grandparents have been doing it for years. Like I'm pretty sure more than 10. My mom just started doing it a few years ago.
Everything you said kinda inspires me to try it out again. I've been meaning to start chanting again but I guess I've been too lazy :\
But yeah, thank you for telling me your experience with it. I appreciate it
