This book consists of 2 parts: The first includes the most essential mantras for your yoga practice. The second part includes the most sacred chants from different traditions: Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain, Christian, and Islamic. In yoga practice, mantras play a key role. Typically, practitioners of yoga chant mantras at the beginning and end of a yoga session. Here, we have created a collection of mantras that are used in a variety of yoga traditions: Patanjali, Vinyasa, and Kundalini Yoga. We also include several Buddhist mantras which are usually used at the end of a yoga session when Metta meditation is done. The handpan because of its unusual sound might be a great tool in your spiritual practice and experience. These mantras were adapted here for Tongue Drum and Handpan and they are possible to play on most drum models. Songs have been transposed for a steel drum sound range. Some melodies have been changed and simplified. The steel tongue drum (aka tong drum, tank drum, gluck-o-phone, hapi, or steeldrum) and the handpan (aka hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum, meditation, healing, or chakra drum) are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body. The main purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world. We write the note numbers above the notes because our sheet music is aimed at absolute beginners. Just follow numbers and enjoy. Also, we add a QR code to most songs. Follow the link and find this song before beginning to play. Which tongue drum are these songs suitable for? Each tongue drum is very different, and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one book. The mantras collected in this book can be played on most drum models. If you have less than 1 octave of keys on your drum, you may need to skip some songs. Table of Contents Part 1. Yoga Mantras Adi Mantra.

A guide to the key spiritual concepts behind yoga and other branches of Eastern wisdom

A guide to mantra recitation for ecstatic states, spiritual liberation, and higher consciousness • Ideal for those looking to deepen the spirituality of their physical yoga practice • Offers detailed instruction on the practice of mahamantra yoga and exercises to improve one’s practice and move beyond rote chanting Based on a rich and ancient tradition revived more than five hundred years ago by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in India, mahamantra yoga involves repeated recitation of a sacred phrase, such as the name of a deity, to anchor the mind and access ecstatic states, higher consciousness, and, ultimately, as you vibrate the holy names, the Divine presence in sound. Part of the bhakti devotional tradition, mahamantra yoga is considered the best path to self-realization in the current age, offering a doorway into the hidden recesses of our innermost being--the internal forest of the heart. Citing ancient Vedic texts and the insights of perfected mahamantra yogis, Richard Whitehurst reveals the methods of mahamantra yoga and his own profound experiences based on more than 20 years of intense practice. Using the core principles of this ancient tradition, he offers mental and physical exercises--such as how to coordinate the breath, vocal cords, and mouth--to move beyond rote chanting and pursue the practice consciously and joyfully. He explains how to overcome common obstacles to successful chanting as well as purification practices to intensify your efforts.

For thousands of years Hindu spirituality has understood the profound effect that sound has on our well-being. From this tradition comes The Yoga of Sound, which draws on yoga's long history of applying sound to reduce stress, maintain health, and invoke spiritual awakenings. In lucid exercises presented both in the book and on accompanying downloadable audio tracks, Russill Paul shows how everyone can learn the art of mantra and how these practices can help to optimize the flow of energy within the body and enhance emotional well-being.

“Through mantra practice, positive karma flows freely into our lives ... desires are fulfilled ... spiritual abilities manifest ... and we have moved another step forward toward moksha—complete spiritual freedom.” —Thomas Ashley-Farrand Karma: the consequence of all of your actions, decisions, thoughts, and emotions. According to Thomas Ashley-Farrand, karmic patterns from the past are always with you, affecting everything you do—for better or for worse. With Mantra Meditation, you will learn how to use genuine Sanskrit mantras to balance your chakras (your body's seven spinning energy-centers) to dissolve negative karma. “When you begin to chant these ancient formulas,” teaches Ashley-Farrand, “the petals on your chakras begin to resonate, and they pull in spiritual energy.” With Mantra Meditation—designed as a 40-day practice or a lifelong tool—your spiritual energy grows, your karma disperses, and your path clears to bring you everything you desire through the fusing of your own efforts and the infinite generosity of the universe. Includes 15 guided mantra meditations and instructions for Sanskrit pronunciation.

Modern science and ancient wisdom traditions agree that the universe is a symphony of vibrational frequencies. In this comprehensive work, the author elaborates the essential truths about cosmic sound, and how we can employ important mantras for healing, transformation and inner awakening.

A high-profile Ashtanga Yoga teacher introduces an inspirational 30-day program that will “completely overhaul your attitude . . . eliminate negativity . . . while also allowing yoga to transform your body” (PopSugar) “The brave heart of a yogi is defined by actions that make the world a better place.” Live with authenticity. Practice patience. Let go of negativity. These are some of the core tenets of a yoga lifestyle, on and off the mat.

Led by master Ashtanga yoga teacher Kino MacGregor, this journey will challenge and uplift your body, mind, and spirit.
