Chanting helps to quiet the mind and provides a way back to our center. Like the quiet space between the in–breath and the out–breath, the stillness that arises out of chanting leads one easily and naturally into meditation.
Vocal or musical experience is not necessary to Experience the Joy of singing with others. Check the calendar page for dates and locations of group kirtan and chanting events.
In health and peace,
Rick
Late, by myself, in the boat of myself, no light and no land anywhere, cloud cover thick. I try to stay just above the surface, yet I'm already under and living in the ocean.
Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don't open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
– Rumi
