Essential Mantras for Yoga and Meditation

by Helen Winter

Description The power of the mantra lies in its ability to bring individuals to a state where they can reflect upon their inner selves. The use of repetitive sacred utterances allows one to access the divine. Mantras allow individuals to access their inner selves in a very powerful way. Repeating sounds considered sacred allows one to access the divine. The word "mantra" is derived from Sanskrit and simply means a sacred sound. In yoga practice, mantras play a key role. Typically, practitioners of yoga chant mantras at the beginning and end of a yoga session. Here, I have created a collection of mantras that are used in a variety of yoga traditions: Patanjali, Vinyasa, Kundalini Yoga. I also include several Buddhist mantras which are usually used at the end of a yoga session when Metta meditation is done. This songbook is suitable for any keyboard musical instrument: piano, synthesizer, accordion, melodica, even for percussion instruments such as xylophone or marimba. Also, I added a QR code to all songs. Follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play. CONTENTS: Adi Mantra.
