Mantras are words, phrases, and syllables that are repeated until they become integrated into the chanter’s consciousness. These mantras, when chanted with intention and feeling, have all sorts of health impacts, along with spiritual attainment. Long-term chanting has effects on anxiety, depression, addiction, and chronic pain. It also improves your mood on a day-to-day basis and helps switch from a negative to a positive state of mind. Here’s some other benefits mantra-chanting has: Benefits: Build resilience and strength Increased calm and peace Enhanced self-awareness Deepened intuition and creativity Improve focus and concentration How a group session runs: We’ll start off by chanting ‘Om’ to focus ourselves and to connect with Nad Yoga (Yoga of Sound and Vibration) We’ll then sit with 2 or 3 mantras, chanting these together with intention. When you feel you can lean a little further into the chant - please do. You’ll receive the benefits back in the sense of greater liberation of the mind, opening of the heart and a greater feeling in self. We’ll close by chanting ‘Om’ and sit in meditation to absorb the energy. This is a non-religious group and everybody is welcome. No musical or singing experience necessary. All welcome Are you all ready to chant? Let’s get to work. Donation based /No need to book
