Nada Yoga, mantra meditation and Kirtan

With Swami Kailash and Sannyasi Gyanmudra and the Nourish Collective

Through Nada Yoga, mantra meditation and Kirtan, you'll be invited to slow down, release tension, quiet the mind and reconnect with your deeper sense of peace.

We are delighted to welcome Swami Kailash Saraswati and Sannyasi Gyanmudra (see below) for facilitation of Nada Yoga Mantra Meditation and Kirtan practices.  May their presence with us support our connection with our inner Spring energy and the light of wisdom on our experience to help give space for  bathing in the beauty of sacred sound from the great tradition of Yoga.

The afternoon begins at 3.30pm gentle sound meditation practices of Nada Yoga.  The resonance of the sounds offer gentle easeful washing of the body mind system.  This is followed by the chanting of the universal Mahamrityunjaya mantra (20-30 minutes) expanding our capacity to deepen our inner strength and courage to meet the changes and challenges of  life at this time.  The resonance of the mantra offers the energy of freedom from our fears and anxieties which we can embrace, for ourselves and also extend to others who may need this kind of inner support.

The practice of Kirtan follows, with simple mantras to listen, hear and sing, or to sit in the beauty of the sound.  The sacred sounds have a purifying and calming effect on the body mind system and invite harmonies, movement, other instruments and the sound of your voice, or silence.

Let us create beauty together in these wonderful mantra meditation practices:

"It was found that during repetitive singing of kirtan,

the brain registers the sound waves, nada,

which influence all other wave patterns of the brain.

These waves awaken alpha rhythms which immediately induce tranquility. 

Thus by singing kirtan, we experience peace of mind."

Swami Satyananda Saraswati
