Kirtan – Next Level Sound Healing
*** Excerpt from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika ***
From the pre-dawn murmur of prayer that emanates from Buddhist monasteries to the heart-opening devotional music of contemporary American churches – spiritual seekers have been tapping into the power of song since the dawn of time.
Over the past several decades, the rise in yoga and meditation in the west has led to an increase in scientific study aimed at measuring the efficacy of various mind/body practices.
Using today’s technology – modern science has reached the same conclusions the ancient rishis and sages discovered 3000 years ago:
Chanting Mantra:
- lowers blood pressure & respiratory rate
- decreases oxygen consumption
- increases mental/emotional well-being
- helps to promote immune function
Chanting mantra changes us from the inside out!*
Join local yoga teacher, artist, and musician Matt Swanner for a one-of-a-kind 2-hour deep dive into the practice of mantra and kirtan – an exploration of movement, meditation, and music that will strengthen and deepen the participant’s practice, as well as their reverence for sound healing and vedic philosophy.
What Makes this Workshop Special
Unlike your average sound healing meditation, you will leave this event with a practice that you can take home, to use anywhere and any time to invoke stillness and peace of mind. This exploration into sound yoga will provide you with a powerful new tool to add to your mind/body modality toolbox!
*Regular chanting is believed to mitigate anxiety, fear, anger and depression, as well as help relieve disorders of the respiratory, digestive, reproductive, circulatory, speech, intellectual and cognitive systems.
