Can simple sounds like Shreem, Kleem and Brzee work for attracting abundance into your life?
Some people seem to think so.

Mantras have been around for centuries, literally, but in the last few years there has been an upsurge in their popularity on the Internet.
One reason is Dr. Wayne Dyer and his "Ahhh" meditation that he uses in his books.
But the Ahhh mediation was taught to him by a man known as Dattatreya Siva Baba.
Now he hasn't always been called Dattatreya Siva Baba also known as the "YouTube Guru".
(By the way, do not confuse Dattatreya with Sathya Sai Baba, they are totally different people)
Dattatreya has been known as Baba, Siva Baba, Baba Sri Siva, Sri Siva, Brzee, Shri Guruji, Guruji and his given name, Dr. Baskaran Pillai.

Besides being a mystic (and I am NOT using that term disparagingly) Dattatreya is a very educated man.
He was a Research Fellow at the University of Madurai in India and he earned a Master's Degree in English literature and a Master of Letters in Comparative literature there.
He came to the US in 1983 and earned a PhD in Religious Studies from the University of Pittsburgh.

While Dattreya was at the University of Pittsburgh, he was the coordinator of Indian Studies within the Asian Studies Program.
He also taught several courses on Buddhist meditation and other Buddhist topics.
He was so popular with students, that there was often a waiting list for his classes.

In his YouTube videos (which you can see at his channel) Dattreya gives several basic words, seed mantras, that are supposed to increase your ability to manifest reality.
Now these are simple words opposed to long chants which I have a great deal of trouble wrapping my American tongue around.

First off, bad things happen to you because of bad karma.
(I wonder if Dattareya likes "My Name is Earl"?)
So you have to remove the bad karma.
You can do this.
Just recite the phrase (okay I lied, this is a phrase not a word), Thiru Neela Kantam.
Thiru Neela Kantam is a karma busting phrase that removes bad karma because if you have bad karma you can chant all the seed mantras you want and it wont help.
It's like building a house with a bad foundation.
When you do this, you are supposed to focus on your throat chakra.

Now there are several seed mantras that Dattatreya Siva Baba gives to attract what you want in life.  
Mantras like "Shreem", "Kleem" and "Brzee".
How do these mantras work?
Well some say they are an appeal to the "Powers That Be" to help you.
(I'm saying Powers That Be because I don't have room to go into the deep, rich and varied Vedic traditions, you can spend your whole life studying that, this are the Cliff Notes)
And some say these sounds relate back to the law of attraction, and that they set up the proper sound vibration that attracts what you want into your life.
This goes back to what law of attraction practitioners say is the scientific principle of Like attracts Like.
(Although personally I was always taught the scientific principle was Opposites attract. So doesn't that mean that if I do bad, good will come to me? I've posted that question on Law of Attraction boards and people just tend to ignore it or call me names. )

You say, or meditate, on each mantra (or the one you like) at least 108 times a day. You can say it more, and yes in this case more is better.
You also think about what you want to attract while you say them.
In 30 days you should see a difference, but in some cases I have read, it can be almost instant.

Now a word of warning here, some say that you shouldn't use a mantra unless it is given to you by a Guru.
When I first read about Dattareya, one of the things about him that attracted me was he said that these mantras were hidden by the "old school" and that he was going to give them to everyone.
So I kinda pictured him as a mystical Bruce Lee, breaking the traditions and giving the knowledge freely to everyone.

Do they work?
Well, I have to admit I have had some success with them.
I've had a few things happen that seemed almost like chance was suddenly weighed in my favor.
But money hasn't fallen out of the sky...yet.

And another thing, abundance isn't always about money.
It can be health, spiritual well being, peace, you may see these things coming to you easier.

So do actual words like Shreem, Kleem and Brzee help in attracting abundance into your life, or is it just you focusing on what you want for long periods of time?

Like I mentioned earlier, you can learn about these things in depth at Dattareya's YouTube channel which you can go to here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/DattatreyaSivaBaba
There you can see his videos and also get links to Dattareya's sites.

There is a lovely lady on YouTube called MathinaMaideen that has graciously posted videos of certain mantras being said the required 108 times.
You can chant along or just listen.
The videos have been a great help to me in getting the pronunciation right and actually helping me make sure I do them 108 times.
Here are the videos for Thiru Neela Kantam, Brzee, Sheem and Kleem, but you can go to her channel and see these and a whole lot more.
