The Sacred Sound of Healing
A 40-day Practice with Sanskrit Healing Mantras
January 5 - February 16
Join me for a New Year’s sādhana exploring the ancient practice of using sound to heal the body, mind and spirit.
If you were able to look at yourself under a big enough microscope, you would see that you are a conglomeration of vibrating particles. Science has shown that vibration alters vibration. When you introduce frequencies that are pure and ordered into your system, you come into alignment with your natural state well-being.
Sanskrit mantras are powerful agents of healing both for yourself and those around you.
Throughout this 40-day practice we’ll be working primarily with 3 powerful Vedic mantras specifically used for healing, exploring how intentional and consistent chanting might create shifts in our body-mind-spirit complex and the external environment we live in.
We’ll also explore the mythology of the energies contained with these mantras for greater context and understanding. Stories of Sūrya (an aspect of the Sun), the Ashvini Kumars (the celestial physicians), Dhanvantari (the god of medicine and Ayurveda) and Shiva (god of transformation and pure consciousness) will be shared.
This practice is an amazing opportunity to learn simple mantras that can be used for your own personal healing journey or to chant for others you wish to send healing to.
“Sri Devi’s Sacred Sound workshop opened up a whole world to me, more deeply attuned to the vibrations of the universe. Her passion and ability to teach and bring the deeper meanings of the mantras to light as well as the skill to teach the technical aspects of pronunciation and Sanskrit reading and writing have considerably deepened my practice. I am so thankful to Sri for sharing her wisdom.”
THEMES WE’LL EXPLORE:
-sound as a healing technology
-how breath is linked to life-force, the 5 pranas
-the elements of nature as support systems and balancing agents
-basic principles of Ayurveda, how mantra intersects and can be integrated
-the ancient secret of soma and tejas
-the healing power of consciousness and intention
-healing power of the sun internally and externally
“Thank you Sri for this opportunity to be a part of this wonderful group of women and to move deeper into my devotional practice. It has made a deep impression on me and one that draws me deeper with each chant. Thank you and then a million more.”
THE PRACTICE:
My intention with these containers is to make it as easy as possible to feel engaged with your practice. We’ll be learning simple mantras to use for daily japa practice (repetition of mantra). The goal will be to set up a steady practice that works for you, taking some time each day to chant, inviting an awareness of how mantras may bring shifts in our own lives and the world around us.
We’ll meet twice a week for class/group practice and the game is for each of us to keep your own practice going in between meet ups.
There will also be ideas for supplementary practices to go along with the chanting if you wish to spend more time on any given day.
“Thank you to Sri for creating a beautiful way for us to learn, practice and heal together! Sri is an amazing human that brings so much passion and love into teaching. I cannot wait to learn more.
I feel so connected & empowered.”
