MANTRA. MUSIC. MEDITATION
What’s it all about?
Mantra
Sacred sound syllable – in ancient Sanskrit mantra refers to a word or phrase which helps to uplift or ‘free’ the mind. These days it’s become popular to call anything which is repeated over and over, a ‘mantra’, but an authentic mantra is passed from teacher to student over thousands of years, and through meditation and repetition, can unlock our deepest potential.
Music
Mantra + music = kirtan. Singing the mantra along with musical instruments is a way to help focus and absorb ourselves in the sound. If the mantra is the remedy, the music is the capsule that makes it easy to take. As Mary Poppins says, ‘a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down!’
Meditation
To meditate is to focus deeply on something. While great masters of the past were able to sit silently in the forest and concentrate – most of us are navigating the urban jungle, with ‘always-on’ lives and ever buzzing smartphones to match. In the time we live in now, mantra meditation is a great way to achieve inner clarity and focus.
