MANTRA & MEDITATION TRAINING COURSE

Mantra & Meditation Training Course

“Mantra is a parking space for your mind. It allows you to put your thoughts to rest for a while …… As thoughts arise, you come back to the Mantra ….. as you practice more, it begins to work on you”.

Rameshwar Das, Love, Serve, Remember Foundation

 This Training Course will take you on a journey of exploration, theory and practice of Mantra and Meditation.  You are invited to delve into the Songs of Yoga, to experience their subtle energies, and to understand Yogic Chanting in all its forms. The practice of Yogic Meditation will be explored and developed using a variety of classical and contemporary techniques. Underpinning the course will be the ‘Inner Limbs’ of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

“Yoga is not Yoga if it does not develop the mind towards meditation and link the practitioner to the Infinite”.

Krishnamacharya

The course will offer you the opportunity to understand and experience Vedic and Sutra Chanting, Japa, Bija and Kirtan. The Sankrit language will be explored in detail with an emphasis on pronunciation.

This training will inspire you to develop a daily practice of chanting and meditation, and to feel confident to introduce it into your teaching.

The 6 day course is spread out over 6 months, with a 4 week gap between Tutor Days to give you time to learn, develop and understand the Practices. The Tutor Days are a mix of theory, practice and discussion, while your home practice is a mix of Mantra Chanting and Meditation.

I have a deep passion for the practices of the Inner Limbs of Yoga : Pranayama, Mantra and Meditation, and I hope to inspire this passion in you too.
