Mystical Mantra

a group experience

created to foster intimate

relationship with the Divine

through sacred sound

Embodiment is a buzz word in the yoga world these days. But what does it really mean? It means transitioning your engagement with yoga from a primarily intellectual endeavor to one of direct experience. The intellect is subject to doubt. Direct experience is undeniable.

Embodiment means that you are a living, breathing expression of your practice in your day to day life. It means that all of life is an experience of the sacred, even the most mundane moments like folding laundry, checking email or driving your car.

How do we transition from the intellect to direct experience? For me, Mantra has been the key. Mantra invites the thinking mind to rest, held in a nurturing cocoon by the sacred Sanskrit sounds received by the Rshis thousands of years ago. These Mantras are living and breathing vibratory expressions of various aspects of the Divine. They live and breathe in creation, they live and breathe within us.

Mantra recitation and internal repetition awaken us to the presence of these energies. They do so in a way which protects and expands the mind, and accelerates the process of enlightenment.
