Universally and from time immemorial, all ancient traditions implement sound and chanting as a gateway to contemplation, divination, and spiritual evolution. Freeing the voice with medicine melodies, reactivates that creative energy into one’s life. The devotional art of communal singing can reach the place of joy and fulfillment in a few minutes. At the end of every phrase or long breath, there is a taste of naad (cosmic pulse), in the form of a peaceful silence. Thus, deep chant has the potential to fuel intuition, a direct apprehension of truth that leads to balance and positive personal transformation.
Throughout this devotional chant journey, you’ll have a direct experience of the quality of sound as a seed for transformation, and the ways that voice production and transmission can transform at once emotional, psychological, and physiological states.
