In India, the use and knowledge of sacred sound has always been central to its highly advanced spirituality. This is evident in the spiritual and healing power of Indian chant and music that is now so popular in the west. We will, together, explore and discuss how we can use this knowledge in the healing of self, culture, and community in the west today. During this weekend, students will be introduced to:
a) 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”.
b) Guidelines to pronunciation: for in tongue placement lies 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.
c) Learn how musical intervals can affect changes in consciousness. Dec 6–7, 2008 Saturday, 9:30-12:30pm, 1:30-5:30pm Sunday, 9:30-12:30pm, 1:30-5pm 08WHH55SA17 $335 (No member discount)
