Russill Paul
In India, the use and knowledge of sacred sound has always been central to that culture's highly advanced spirituality. This is evident in the power of Indian chant and music that is now so popular in the West. In this workshop, we will, together, explore and discuss how we can use sacred sound to heal our selves, our culture and our communities. During this weekend, students will be introduced to the broad scope of sound in the Indian tradition, with a special focus on understanding mantras, which are specially constructed sounds that function as "sonic pharmaceuticals"; guidelines to mantra pronunciation (because the power of these sounds to have a direct bearing upon our health and energy as well as our power to affect the health and energy of others depends on precise tongue placement); and how musical intervals can affect changes in consciousness.
