Wednesday Evening Chanting & Meditation Gatherings

– 2nd & 4th Wednesday of Each Month – At the St. Paul Yoga Center

~ No Experience Necessary ~

Experience the power of sound and silence to uplift and enrich spiritual growth
.

Every culture uses song or music to complement its forms of worship. On one level this is aesthetically pleasing. From a deeper perspective, vocal and musical tones are potent spiritual tools. They help raise energy from lower chakras and open the heart. As Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi put it:

Sound or vibration is the most powerful force in the universe. Music is a divine art, to be used not only for pleasure but as a path to God-Realization. Vibrations resulting from devotional singing lead to attunement with the Cosmic Vibration or the Word”.

Focus on chanting – devotional singing from soul to Spirit – followed by guided meditation.

Schedule through July, 2013: June 12, 26 / July 10, 24
Time: 7:30 – 8:30 p.m.

“In the past I tried various meditation techniques but never truly adopted the practice as I found it difficult to sit still for very long. Chanting changed that for me. Chanting opens up a world of meditation and spiritual devotion. After 20 to 30 minutes of singing to God/Spirit, of opening my heart in deep calling – using the vibrations of my voice and heart to reach out towards the Divine – I find myself transported; gently, and effortlessly, into a deep and peaceful meditation. Afterwards I leave the Center glowing.” L. Jones
