Yogic Song

Teachings with Ngakma Shé-zér Khandro. This workshop will introduce practices of yogic song and sung mantra. These practices will all be taught within the context of silent sitting meditation for which instruction will also be given. In yogic song the subtle resonances of the dimension of sound can be discovered as a method of establishing presence of awareness and the songs function through essential energy to re-establish our innate vitality.

Yogic song is both a meditation practice in itself, and also a great support and complement to silent sitting meditation. In this workshop you will encounter a variety of songs, each with a unique melody, history, and application. No great singing talent is required, just an enthusiasm to learn.

‘The sounds of the vulture’s flight are methods of practice. The great white vulture, glides effortlessly above the reach and range of concept. Through these movements, Mind finds itself in its own free Space. The vulture has no fear of terrible heights, because the sky is her natural home.’ Khandro Déchen
