What is kirtan?

Kirtan began in India centuries ago as a spiritual practice for the people as a way to gather and connect to the Divine. By joining in the mantras as you find your voice, you will learn and repeat them and feel their vibration move through you. Song, sound and music all have a frequency that can help to clear blocked energy, shift emotional moods and uplift the soul invoking increased energy, movement and even dance.

What are the benefits of chanting?

Chanting is not only the most fun way to meditate but, like laughter yoga, it is also good for your health. The rhythmic tones of chanting mantra and singing kirtan release naturally occurring chemicals in the brain and body that have therapeutic effect.
Studies have proven that chanting helps to raise the frequency of your emotions flooding your system with feelings of love, compassion, self-awareness and consciousness. The process flushing lower vibration emotions from the system. Sufferers of anxiety, depression and insomnia can be assured that studies show chanting has benefits of more ease, deep rest and allows for more control of their emotions. The repetition of energy generated through rhythm focused a persons intention and helps eliminate negative thoughts.

Spiritual Practice

Chanting goes beyond the body-mind to the realm of Spirit. It results in feelings of oneness and connection which offer such expanse and sense of inclusivity which western forms of mental health therapy can’t typically inspire or access.
