Sound can move mountains.
And crowds. And hearts and minds. Fuel political movements or Inspire one to fall in love. Lead men to war or lull babies to sleep. Sharpen memories or move feet. Create a universe — according the theories of both the "Big Bang" and "Om." The ancient yogis recognized the power that sound has on us humans, and harnessed it to create transformative practices that open the heart, clear the mind, bring peace — and ultimate goal of samadhi. In these highly visual (and noisy) times we are becoming increasing numb to sound. Communication is increasingly written, not spoken. Melody is stripped from language, information trumps intimacy. Which is why now, more than ever, turning our eyes away from the screen and our attention toward listening can help bring balance to our lives. Ann draws on the particularly refined understandings and practices concerning sound of India's yogic tradition to teach us how to reconnect with the expression of our voice and the intimacy of listening for a truly humanizing experience. |
