Shruti Box Drone, in C

Many of you have expressed appreciation for the soothing sound of the Shruti Box I play during Yoga classes.

In the key of C, the drone is said to mimic the sound of Om or Pranava, the highest sound vibration, promoting feelings of peace, relaxation, harmony and unity, a valuable tool for overcoming suffering and the sense of limitation or maya.

While there is no substitute for live music, this recording on YouTube is a pretty good substitute.  It is a high quality recording, and long enough to use for meditation, chanting or overtone singing.

One of my students even suggested using it instead of an alarm clock in the morning.  What a great way to get up on the "right side of the bed"!

Amazing Resonance Experiment

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."  - Nikola Tesla 

Need evidence that sound affects form? 

Watch this Amazing Resonance Experiment and see sound vibrations create amazing geometric patterns in sand.

*Warning* Turn your volume way down, as the tones get quite ear piercing as they get higher!

The Power of Sacred Sound, June 27, 2014

Tibetan Singing Bowl, with Engraved Tara

This Friday, June 27, from 7-9 pm join me at Yoga Within to make some joyful noise!

Nada Yoga, the Yoga of Sound, uses mantras, chanting, singing and storytelling to purify our hearing and speech, raising our vibrational resonance in the world and within.

Nada Yoga embraces the notion that the basic stuff of the universe is vibration, and that by resonating with it, using verbal, instrumental and subtle sound as a medium for meditation, we can not only enjoy, but elevate our lives.
