“We are energetic, vibrational beings. The power of chant impacts our hearts, bodies, spirits and souls.”
Each mantra has a distinct meaning, unique vibrational frequency and distinctive healing effects.
When chanting a mantra, one begins to vibrate within the frequency of that mantra, not only spiritually, but on a physical, molecular level. When chanting mantras aloud, the vibrations and movements of the tongue stimulate some of the key glands of the endocrine system, which is responsible for governing and regulating hormones in the body.
Additionally, the soothing and harmonious combination of sound, breath and rhythm ~ an inevitable outcome of mantra chanting ~ has a profound impact on the parasympathetic nervous system, otherwise known as the “rest and digest” system. This, in turn, slows the heart rate and triggers the body’s healing response.
By focusing on the repetition of a specific set of words or sounds, mantra chanting can also act as an object of concentration, helping to bring the mind into the present moment. As such, mantras are commonly used to still the mind for meditation, much in the same way that some practitioners concentrate on the breath.
These bespoke Sounds of Yoga are all chanted by Yoga Teacher and Professional Opera Singer, Mark Atherton. He has taken these wonderful, ancient chants and reinvented them with his amazing vocal range. You won't be disappointed.
Songs included are:
Gayatri Mantra
Govinda Jaya Mantra

Om Namo Lullaby Mantra
Use these magical sounds during practice, when falling asleep, when walking and just about anywhere else you want to listen to sounds that inspire your inner Zen!
