I invite you to join me at a new weekly session taking place in Glastonbury as follows:
Chanting is a powerful way to create joy. To balance, heal and accelerate inner transformation. As such it is a useful part of our yoga and a yoga in its own right.
For millenia, yogis and rishis of India have passed on sacred formulas through vocal repetition, aspiring to higher states of consciousness and to preserve and transmit wisdom. I have been blessed to spend extended periods in India studying mantra and sutra and have incorporated chanting into my personal yoga. I offer these sessions so that you may benefit as I have.
Such as :
- Calmness and relaxation Standing down from the stress response, soothing the adrenals, regulating heart rate, blood pressure and hormones.
- Quiet mind Thoughts are stilled while we are chanting.
- Empowerment and confidence It feels good to use the voice with awareness, focus and intention.
- Energizing the spiritual body Chanting clears the nadis (channels where life energy flows) and bathes the cells of the body with positive energy.
- Healing and re-balancing Mantras act as prayers; as we recite them we create a powerful intention of healing. In ayurveda, mantra is regularly prescribed to heal physical symptoms.
- Creating and manifesting Mantra can be directed to specific areas of life where we might wish for improvement, they are the original positive affirmations!
- Inner peace Many mantra are formulated specifically to create inner peace within the practitioner.
- A gift to humanity As we become more peaceful, we radiate peace into the fabric of the universe so assisting the whole of humanity.
- Eternal wisdom and liberation We may not understand the subtleties of the Sanskrit, but we are imbuing ourselves with ancient yogic wisdom which percolates through to the subconscious level. Overtime, this creates conditions for moksha or enlightenment.
- The joy of sharing Positive energies generated by chanting are amplified in a group and there arises a wonderful feeling of wellbeing from sharing and belonging.
We will chant a selection of short, simple sanskrit verses
that I use myself and have been authorised to teach, from the classic
texts of India including the yoga sutras of Patanjali, the Vedas and the
Upanishads.
These will be relaxed, informal sessions, and all are warmly welcomed,
no previous experience of yoga and/or yoga chanting is required.
I provide written sheets with the chants and meanings and we will progress at a pace that supports everyone.
The Miracles Room is a lovely venue; spacious and tranquil, flooded with natural light and conveniently located on Glastonbury High Street, close to the Market Cross.
Sessions are drop-in, so no need to book in advance, however you are welcome to call me on 07779 807089 or email jennifer@divine-yoga.org with any enquiries.
I look forward to chanting with you!
Om shanti, shanti, shanti
