Chanting & Singing

So tonight I went along to this chanting and singing group. I didn't know what to expect but I saw a leaflet and thought I'd give it a try.

About 7 of us all sat around in a semi circle hippy style and then the teacher started singing sanskrit words. We had to repeat a few of these phrases while we closed our eyes. She was also playing an organ to hold some notes and it was a nice sound calming sound to chant to. It's quite funny how I made another post today on Steemit with a song I liked a lot using an organ! I never talk about organs ha but love these little synchronicities when they appear!

We did this for about an hour using different sanskrit words including some buddhist phrase which was supposed to be an all accompanying phrase for Buddhism! I thought well that sounds good, I'll have some of that so really got into it.

We also had the choice of using some percussion instruments, I had a little rice shaker which I surprisingly really enjoyed shaking!

I noticed I was getting tense when chanting quite a bit which did detract from the experience as I think I was trying too hard!

Overall I felt a kind of high vibration connection with everyone else chanting at the same time. I could feel energy throughout my body but there were a couple of times where I felt a little dizzy probably because of the breathing.

I will go back again next month as it was enjoyable and recommend any one to give it a try.

Thanks for reading!
