If you are an experienced meditator\, you know how powerful meditating in a group can be. Plus\, it's fun!\n\n \n \n\n\nChanting\n\nNever chanted before? Come and give it a try! We will be chanting to a cd. We will do both 'sing along' and 'call and response' chanting. You will have handouts with the words and explanations for all chants.\n\n \n\n'Call and response' chanting means that first the "caller" sings the verse and then the audience repeats it. It's easy! If you're a visual person\, we'll have handouts with the words and the definitions on them.\n\n \n\nThe gateways to the soul are opened with prayer\, voice\, sound\, and repetition. The repetition of a vocal sound modifies and is remarkably healing to the breath\, the body and the mind. Brainwaves begin to balance after only three or four minutes\, and the muscle and skin temperature increases. Chanting is a simple way to reduce stress and anxiety.\n\n \n\nBring a yoga mat and/or meditation cushion\, if you have them.\n\n\n\nI have chairs\, mats\, and pillows for those who need something after they arrive.\n \n\nBeginners welcome - no experience necessary!\n\n \n\nTestimonials\n\nMeditation testimonials\n\nLiked the breathing (alternate) nostril prior (to meditation).
