Gain Music And Mantras: The Yoga Of Mindful Singing For Health, Happiness, Peace Prosperity Executed By Girish Expressed As E-Text

attending an afternoon workshop with Girish in Palm Springs recently, I read his cogent, entertaining and essential book on the useful and meaningful practice of incorporating mantras in our yoga practice and life.
Love this book! This book does a good job of giving you tools to chant, breathe, and sing.
“Singing is as human as breathing, and this book tells us why, ” Mark Guarino, contributing music writer, The Guardian

Celebrated yogimusician Girish opens new possibilities for transforming your life through song, combining the ancient art of singing mantra with twentyfirst century neuroscience research.


For as long as he can remember, Girish has created rhythm to accompany life, His first experience of music as sacred art came in college, playing with jazz bands, “During improvisational sessions,” he recalls, “there were these unexplainable moments of synchronicity and intuition that felt like magic.
” This led Girish to an unexpected journeya seeming detour to live as a monk in an ashram for five years that inadvertently nourished his musical artistry.
Here, he studied Sanskrit as a means to understand the deeper meanings of ancient chants, which sparked a lifechanging event that led him back to musicand to combine music with Sanskrit chants.
Now he shares what hes learned to help people of all ages, backgrounds, and traditions to transform body, brain, and life through mantra and music.


With Music and Mantras, Girish has created an interactive toolkitincluding more than ninety minutes of companion audio materialfor personal transformation through singing, sharing his own experience as a musician, yogi, and former Hindu monk.
Weaving simple, elegant mantras from ancient traditions with neuroscience, Girish shows us how to achieve greater peace of mind, clarity, calm, focus, and even improved health and wealth through the yogic art of chantingan ideal practice for singing our way to happiness, health, and prosperity.
Really fast read obviously with good use of internet backup for resources, He references Thomas AshleyFerrand, pretty much The Guy who popularized mantra practice in the US, and adds a new dimension to it.
Some of the mantras he offers are the same as in Ferrand's various compendia, but a few are new.
The combination of breath, music and mantra really gives a new dimension to the practice of mantra, Definitely a wonderful addition to any yogi or Buddhist library and plenty to offer even Christians and other spiritualities.
This is a great resource for anyone interested in chanting or kirtan, Easy to read with many, many great ideas and suggestions, Thank you, Girish! Read for Meditation Teacher Training, I appreciated the approachability of the book and will use it as a mantra reference though this isn't exactly a subject that I am passionate about.
If you're familiar and passionate about mantra work, you'll enjoy this book, This is

a really good introduction to kirtan, the Yoga of sound, Thorough and easy to follow it also comes with a whole lot of vocal exercises and free chant tracks on the accompanying website a great first stop on your kirtan/chanting adventures! sitelink post a comment.
