Together we chant - for peace & love, for ourselves, each other & the world.
Mantra chanting is a beautiful ancient practice that has existed as far back as 1700 - 1200 BCE.
Mantra contains the root - man, meaning "to think" and the suffix "tra", which signals instrumentality or in tantric texts "to save". Making mantras salvific.
Mantras have their origin from the primordial sound "AUM", which is the sound of creation.
Neuroscientists, equipped with advanced brain-imaging tools, are confirming some of the health benefits of this ancient practice, such as its ability to help clear your mind and calm your nervous system.
Other benefits include:
◦ Increased self-awareness
◦ Reduced stress & anxiety
◦ A greater sense of calm
◦ Increased compassion
◦ A more positive outlook
◦ Better cognitive functions
◦ Overcome emotional difficulties
◦ Promotes a feeling of connection
What to expect: Although each session will vary we will practice one or two mantras mainly in the Sanskrit language, practiced in the call and response style. We will explore the translation of the chant and its benefits. If there's time, we may close the session with a medicine song.
