Mantra and Meditation

Service Description

The Magic of Mantra These monthly classes are a beautiful introduction into meditation using a mantra as your anchor. In my own personal journey practising and then teaching Kundalini Yoga, it is the practice of mantra has had the biggest impact on me. Initially, I was uncertain and very awkward to use this meditative technique, and now I use it daily to guide me into a still and calming place within myself. The use of mantra in a meditation process can really help you to quieten the mind and stop it from drifting into conscious thought patterns. It is thought that ancient rishis or sages of India (who were thought to be seers of the divine truth), were so deeply in tune with nature and the natural order of the universe could hear mantras being chanted in the fabric of the Cosmos. It was believed that these mantras were existence; but in an unmanifested form. Each month we will;  Explore a different mantra, its meaning and how its sound and vibration creates a resonance with your desired intentions for the month ahead.  You will explore how using your own voice can be a magical key that unlocks the technique to finding inner stillness and holding you gently in a meditative state of being.  We will create space to set a clear intention and focus for the month ahead, and consider what you want to bring in and also what you need to release. The class is open to all abilities and experience with mantra. Come in comfy clothing (a pair a cosy socks maybe nice); bring a flask of your favourite tea or a bottle of water, you can bring a journal to note any inner knowledge and wisdom that comes forth for you and an open mind! Sessions are bookable via the SYS website but are not part of the studio membership plans or weekly timetable - you can contact SJ directly for information, via her social media.
