Anahat - The Unstruck Sound ...an experiential workshop for celtic harpers Anahat is a sanskrit word for 'inner sound' and refers to the 4^th chakra of the body otherwise known as the Heart Center. It is believed that one cannot hear the unstruck sound until one has reached a certain level of consciousness of the Heart. The human body is a like a musical instrument. When we begin to pay attention to body sensations, heart beat & breath while playing the harp interesting things can begin to happen. Spiritual seekers have used music to reach altered states for eons. The harmonics of the harp provide the exact right tone to connect with the heart. This workshop is an opportunity to open the heart and discover for ourselves how the body responds to harp vibrations. Go here for more information.

The Yoga of Sound What happens when you add the element of sound to a hatha yoga practice? The ancient yogi's understood the world to be made up of vibration or sound. Vibrations exist outside the body and inside the body. Frequently our inner vibratory rate is mis-matched with the external vibrations. This creates imbalance, dis-harmony, chaos & and of course stress. When we integrate the aspect of sound into our yoga practice things begin to smooth out, physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually.
