Concentration practice. Sound practice. Heart practice.
Experiencing the sound OM (AUM)
OM is not just a sound.
It is a path. It is a way to liberate the mind and reveal Shakti.
At the retreat, we will practice japa and dhyana.
We will learn how to chant the mantra and enter the silence from which sound is born.
This retreat is about the mantra as a living force of sound. Not just repetition, but a way to establish a connection, receive a blessing, and purify speech, prana, and mind.
Yoga masters highlight mantra yoga as the most effective method of self-realization for our time.
“Because it destroys the consequences of all sins committed over thousands of lifetimes and brings realization of the Supreme, it is called japa.”
Shandilya Upanishad
We will practice japa on beads, study the rules of chanting, how to avoid mistakes, and ways to purify errors.
We will connect the mantra with contemplative presence so that the sound leads into silence.
“The mantra is Brahman, embodied in the form of sound… granting Liberation.”
