Sound has always been a part of meditation practice. Mantra, for example, is the repetition of sacred words that can be chanted or repeated aloud or silently. It feels wonderful to be bathed in sound, to feel the essential vibration of life itself. Sound vibrations quiet the mind, which always feels like a relief, even though a quiet mind is not at all required for meditation.
In this 8-week series, we’ll explore simple practices that bring ease and a sense of openness to our ears and even sense our whole body as an instrument of listening and sound. We’ll explore the sacred sound of OM in lots of ways. We’ll listen to the world outside and a vast interior world as well. Join us for what will be a fun, interesting and relatively easy way to meditate. For sure you will have a new and heightened experience of vibration inside yourself. As part of Sutra 16 of The Radiance Sutras says,
The sacred power of space will carry you
Into the dancing radiant emptiness
That is the source of all.
The ocean of sound is inviting you
Into its spacious embrace,
Calling you home.
And as a special experience, the final class will be a sound bath offered by Lori Bower.
