English

The practice of mantras is a powerful tool for the mind and the soul. Not only is it incredible for supporting mental well-being, but it also promotes deep states of inner connection. As a spiritual practice, we are attuning ourselves to vast cosmic energies, transforming our energy and vibration from the inside out.

In this course, I’ll be sharing insights into the nuances of the production of the Sanskrit sounds that transformed my own direct experience of chanting.

The course covers an overview of the key mouth positions to help bring more energetic enlivenment to the experience of the chant. We’ll learn the timing of the sounds and the meter of the chant, the Vedic pitch or the svara, some history and background to the chant, a step-by-step breakdown of the sounds within each word, how to produce it, and their meaning. We touch on mantra as a bhakti, or devotional path, and ways you might connect to offer more love and response through your own sound and body instrument. 

There is a call and response guide track where I’ll chant and then allow time for you to respond. Then once you feel more confident you can move into the cycle of 12 repetitions and join me as we chant together as a means to establish your own practice. We conclude with a bonus long form of the mantra, in a guided mantra meditation where we direct awareness and sound to each of the chakras.

A drone or bed of sound is a useful element in a sonic yoga or mantra practice. You'll hear one used in some of the tracks in this course. Should you wish to use a drone to support your own practice, please visit my profile and look for the 'Tānpūrā Drone' in the Premium Tracks. 

May this profound chant support you in your own direct experience of the infinite light.

Sāvitrī Gāyatrī Mantra - Mantra Meditation Upon The Light

#FFFFFF

Hi, my name is Siddhi Shakti and I'm really looking forward to sharing with you a deeply transformational and uplifting mantra invoking the power of the infinite light to illuminate us, the Gayathri Mantra. This is one of the most well-known and widely chanted prayers in the world. The practice of mantra is a powerful tool for the mind and the soul. Not only is it an incredible tool for supporting mental well-being as a focal point to help us still and focus the mind and take us into deeper states of inner connection, but as a spiritual practice we are attuning ourselves to vast cosmic energies, transforming our own energy and vibration from the inside out. In this course, I'll be sharing with you some insights that totally transformed my own direct experience of chanting. I'd discovered that I had an affinity for mantra and the power of transformational sound and Nada Yoga. And then one day, after many years of chanting, I discovered a whole other level that I had no idea about. There are distinct mouth placements and the length of the vowel sounds and the use of breath or not in the production of the sacred Sanskrit sounds. Understanding and learning how to apply this helps to amplify the inner connection and entrain us more directly to the frequencies of the mantra. So as part of teaching you this mantra, I'll be sharing an overview of the key mouth positions to help bring more energetic enlivenment to the experience of the chant. We'll cover timing, the Vedic pitch or the Svara, some history and background to the chant, a step-by-step breakdown of the sounds within each word and how to produce it and the meaning. Also included is a call and response guide track where I'll chant and then allow time for you to respond. There's also a cycle of 12 repetitions, so once you feel more confident you can join me and chant along as a means to establish your own practice. And there is a bonus long form of the mantra in a guided mantra meditation where we direct awareness and sound to each of the chakras. The power of mantra has transformed my life and it lights me up to be able to share this with you. Enjoy, and may you have your own direct experience of the infinite light.
