Sound has been used as a spiritual tool in traditions all over the world and throughout the centuries. Through its utterance, its felt reverberation and its hidden messages, humans have awoken to the numinous through its extraordinary power.
In this livestream talk, we will explore the practice and the meaning behind mantra (the utterance of sacred sounds) in the context of Ancient Indian traditions. We will explore the ritual science of preparing a sacred space through the organisation of sound in the Vedic ritual as well as the sacred practice of installing sound syllables onto the body with the Tantric practice of Nyasa.
We will look at how we can use mantra as a tool for awakening higher consciousness and we will explore the different altered states which can arise as a result.
We will also take a closer look at the different theories which surround the mechanism of speech, sound, thought, ritual and awakening by exploring how sound affects our psychology and what happens when we apply intention to these sounds.
