VEDIC CHANT
What are the benefits of this practice?
- It refines our listening to the outside and to the inside. Listening to your own voice reveals your nature.
- Develops the voice by increasing the inner fire that gives us the power to express that nature.
- The practice of mantra and Vedic chanting engages us in such a way that we can experience states of silence, inner stillness and mental clarity. Meditative states.
- Develops memory and patience towards oneself and others.
- Improves health on all levels: physical, mental and spiritual:
−Breath lengthens, thus stabilising the heart rate.
−Breath is strengthened.</span
−Work on the breath impacts our vital energy, our prāṇa and state of mind. It leads us to open, luminous, positive states of mind.
−Chanting enhances our “Agni”, the digestive fire, improving our ability to transform everything we take in, or go through, such as: food or experiences, into something nourishing and, in turn helps us to discard that which generates toxins.
−The production of sound, with the proper intention, can integrate the body, breath, mind and emotions. This integrative process is a healing process. - The learning process links us in a unique way with our teacher and our peers. At the same time it links us to a greater force; it invites us to nurture our confidence (śraddhā) by learning to lose fears, to trust and to accept.
