Sacred Sounds: Nada Yoga + Meditation Training
Sound Meditation - from Sound to Stillness.
My intention with this course is a collective journey for six weeks from sound to silence. We will study and experience various meditation and sound techniques, discovering a new dimension of sound within ourselves and everything around us.
The yogis knew that sound is the origin of the universe. Nada Yoga is a philosophy and practice over 5,000 years old from India. Nada translates to the flow of consciousness and sound. We will study and practice the teachings of Nada Yoga (the ancient yoga of sound). Nada Yoga is one of the purest forms of yoga and sound healing, leading us into silence and absolute unity, opening new dimensions of sound.
THE PATH FROM SOUND TO STILLNESS:
Opening Ceremony: The inaugural ceremony marks the beginning of your profound journey into Nada Yoga and Meditation. This initiation sets intentions, invokes sacred energies, and creates a harmonious space for exploration and growth.
Week 1: The Art of Listening: Delve into the practice of deep listening. Through guided meditation and reflective exercises, cultivate the ability to truly listen—to oneself, others, and the subtle vibrations of the environment. Develop mindfulness and presence as you tune into the nuances of sound.
Week 2: Audible Sound, Bija Mantras, Chanting, and Devotion: Explore the tangible power of audible vibrations. Discover the potency of Bija mantras (seed syllables), engage in chanting practices, and experience the transformative nature of devotional sound. Learn how sound can evoke deep states of harmony and self-remembrance.
Week 3: Universal Vibrations, Chakras - Introducing Weekly Tapas: Dive into universal vibrations and their connection with the chakra system. Explore weekly Tapas—spiritual practices aimed at deepening your experience and integrating insights gained from the course.
Week 4: Mental Sound + Mantra: Explore the impact of sound on the mind and consciousness. Learn to use specific mantras as tools for mental clarity, emotional balance, loving awareness, and spiritual awakening.
Week 5: The Art of Ritual + Tantra: Discover the sacred art of rituals and the tantric approach to sound and meditation. Learn how rituals can create potent energetic shifts and deepen your connection with the divine within you.
Week 6: Visual Sounds + Yantra: Expand your perception of sound beyond the auditory realm. Integrate the visual understanding of sacred vibrations through yantras—sacred geometric representations. Learn how visual symbols can enhance meditation and facilitate profound inner connection.
Week 7: The Spiritual Heart - Silence Within, AUM: Journey into the depths of inner silence within the Spiritual Heart. Experience the transformative power of heart-centered practices and explore the significance of AUM (OM) as the primordial sound that constitutes the essence of existence.
Week 7/8: Silent Retreat Day: Immerse yourself in a day of profound stillness and introspection. This silent retreat day creates the conditions for deep integration of your learnings and experiences while fostering inner clarity and self-awareness.
Week 8: Para - The Transcendent Sound: Dive into Para—the transcendent sound that connects individual consciousness with the universal divine reality of our being. Explore the final stage of Nada Yoga through experiential practices.
Closing Ceremony: Celebrate the culmination of your journey through a ceremony. Reflect on your growth, insights gained, and intentions for continued spiritual evolution beyond the course.
