3 Semi-Private*
$150.00
Three semi-private sessions
Semi-private sessions are small groups of 2-3 students. The price is per student.
In addition to online courses, I mentor students privately and semi-privately (groups of 2-3) in call and response fashion. This classic and systematic approach is the foundation for deeper levels of attunement, self-expression and understanding.
Depending on your interests, a range of Vedic chants and mantras are taught. Some chants are energizing, while others are calming. All Vedic chants support well-being and increase concentration and breath capacity. Along with Vedic chanting, you might also learn how to use mantra to support your spiritual practices. No prior knowledge of Sanskrit or chanting is required.
Description
Mentor with me and learn Vedic Chanting through semi-private sessions (groups of 2-3) in call and response fashion. This classic and systematic approach is the foundation for deeper levels of attunement, self-expression and understanding.
Call and Response
When the teacher recites and the student receives, and when the student listens and is listened to—a profound learning and understanding develops. Studying in this way refines awareness, vocalization, concentration, articulation, pronunciation, and listening skills.
The Process
The results are not always quick. There is an awakening process of exercising the voice. We learn to use our voice in new ways to tonify, cleanse, refine and integrate our breath, awareness, and mind at a deep level.
When I work with students, there is often a resistance to being heard, to opening the mouth, and making mistakes. I act as a compassionate facilitator to help you cultivate the confidence and skills to overcome blocks and resistance.
As students surrender to the process of chanting, the techniques, rules, effort and frustrations all get integrated. It’s a profoundly magical moment like when a child learns to read. Students are constantly reaching new levels of vocalization, concentration, absorption, and endurance with mentoring and dedicated practice.
The Lessons
Depending on your interests, a range of Vedic chants and mantras are taught. Some chants are energizing, while others are calming. All Vedic chants support well-being and increase concentration and breath capacity. Along with Vedic chanting, you might also learn how to use mantra to support your spiritual practices. No prior knowledge of Sanskrit or chanting is required.
Healing and Transformation
Vedic chanting is an active meditation and pranayama practice. It connects us to our hearts, cleansing the senses and purifying our habits of speech and thought. Chanting helps us to feel expansive in all dimensions—physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual.
Learning to chant facilitates healing and transformation by literally changing unconscious breathing patterns and relaxing the fight or flight response. My aim is to help you integrate and heal imbalances of body and mind that keep you stuck in unhealthy patterns so that you can be your best self.
The Benefits of Vedic Chanting
Scientific studies show that chanting mantra-s alleviates negative emotions, stabilizes moods, and boosts immune system functioning. Research supports the effectiveness of Sanskrit mantra-s for healing due to vagus nerve stimulation, improved pulmonary function and increased lung capacity.
