SET YOUR INTENTION

I will counter a sedentary lifestyle with dance. I will not be afraid to move my body. I will dance for fun and to feel free. I will enjoy how good dancing feels.

Chanting

Chanting is a dynamic way to utilize sound to heal. It involves singing your prayers to balance your system. This lifts you high above your daily concerns so you can feel your largeness and bliss. As the popularity of yoga has spread throughout the world, chanting sacred Sanskrit words such as om has become popular. Om means “peace” and is thought to be a soundless sound that runs through the universe.

You can chant on your own or listen to recordings. If you’re chanting alone, start by choosing a mantra to chant that comes from your spiritual tradition. These include om and shalom for “peace”; or Thy will be done; or aham prema, which means, “I am divine love”; or simply, Let it be. Keep repeating the mantra in a meditative state and allow yourself to sing it. You can also listen to ancient Gregorian chants or to Indian devotional music.

I enjoy Kirtan performances. This is a call and response type of devotional chant set to music. The singers open with a sacred phrase or story, then the audience repeats it. There can be dancers and drumming, as well as the ancient mystical sound of the harmonium. The audience often moves and dances spontaneously. As long as it doesn’t feel overstimulating, being in a group can amplify the therapeutic effects of chanting.
