|
The human voice as the most perfect instrument provides the possibility to connect with our soul and with God. This is why in many faith traditions the use of the voice plays an essential part. It resonates with the chakra system, activates the flow of subtle energies, uplifts the mood, balances mind and aura and can lead to a state of blissful joy. The deeper breathing activates and rejuvenates the body. Sacred phrases or mantras sung repeatedly can create a strong feeling of connectedness. Chanting can lead to mystic experiences beyond understanding. Chanting is a joyful helping to reclaim the power of your own voice. Chanting works well in groups and the choice of focus can be varied according to the group or teacher. Including wisdom of Native American traditions, the joy of Jewish melodies, the magic of Indian bhajans, the depth of Sufi dances, the power of Islamic mantras, the roots of Christian mysticism and the harmonies of Taizé, the gentleness of Buddhist chants, the reconnection with the female creativity - and many straightforward songs of love |
