Sound As Medicine: 10 Mantras To Transform Your Life

With NADAV Kahn

Meditating with mantra effortlessly opens the heart and quiets the mind, and that is why this practice has endured for thousands of years across different cultures all over the world. Mantra approaches sound as medicine - the transformative medicine of awakening higher intelligence, so we can become more present and available to the experience of being alive. Each day in this course is divided into two parts – an in depth study session on one of 10 mantras, followed by a guided musical mantra meditation journey that was composed especially for this course. Whether you already incorporate mantra into your life or are curious to find out more, this course is designed to carry you right to the heart of the life-giving practice of mantra meditation.

Lovely course, I enjoyed it so much. I have never used mantras before properly, and can say that I had quite powerful experiences with a few of these. The teacher Nadav is very relaxing to listen to and I would absolutely recommend this course. I will probably come back to it again in the future.
