Mantra meditation is a form of meditation that are sound formulas, packed with energy and intention, that have a profound effect on the body-mind. When these sound waves (mantras) are combined with thought waves (intentions), they become powerful tools for insight, healing and creativity. For thousands of years, mantras have been used to unlock the vast potential of the human heart and mind. Mantras use sound waves, sound energy, to heal our minds on the subconscious level, where the roots of our modern anxieties are found. A mantra is a very precise sound frequency, language, and rhythm that unlocks specific energies and qualities when used. This sound composed of certain phonemes and words arranged in a definite sequence is said to bring vibrations that act on our centers of consciousness and bring about their effect on the various levels of mind and body.
Scientific studies reveal the science that mantras change us from the inside out. The benefits of this ancient practice include a healthy body, a healthy brain, mental well-being, and emotional well-being. One of the most powerful skills mantra practice cultivates is resilience which is our ability to get up when we fall, dust ourselves off, and start over.
In this workshop we'll first be listening to the beautiful sounds of several chants to help dispel any nervousness you may experience in using your voice and that will help clear your minds of clutter. Then I will show you how your breath, your body, and your voice that includes humming and chanting can be used to balance your nervous system and take you from stressed to relaxed quite quickly and very effectively. By using your breath and your voice with both humming or chanting, you raise the level of your own vibration to a higher spiritual state.
The best part of this is that everyone can do it. You've been using your voice your whole life, but have you been using it intentionally? As long as you have a body that works and vocal cords that are intact, you have a very important medicine within you.
