Chanting
from The Sacred Voice
Learning chants can be simple, fun and can be used both personally and
for gatherings as centering, calming and focusing prayers. A regular personal
chanting practice leads to the focus of awareness, sharpening and increasing
our attention span, keeping our attention on the present moment, helping
us to take action from a state of acknowledging what is. A chant circle
is part of our modern version of gathering around a communal fire. Some
possible outcomes of this practice are calm strength, stability of emotions,
and cognitive consonance with a grounded and centred state of mind. This
workshop includes an exploration of mantras and their practice.
In this workshop you will learn about:
•Connecting your voice with the energy of your emotional world and
the Divine
•Creating vocal power and ease through whole body breath
•Singing your song from the heart

David has dedicated his life to the study and teaching of Mantra/Nada yoga (yoga of music) a practice inspired by Swami Sivananda Radha. http://bluelotusmusic.com/ Change through Music
“I have worked to understand the relationship of sound, consciousness, awareness and the working of the mind through music. As well, devotion, which arises within the act of musical expression from many cultures and traditions, is of great interest to me. Music has become a personal spiritual practice and when playing and teaching expresses a Sacred Voice.”
