The Sacred Voice with David Embry (Blue Lotus Music)
Join David for a deep chanting and meditation experience. Learning chants can be simple, fun and can be used
both personally and for gatherings as centering, calming and focusing prayers. A regular personal chanting practice
leads to the focus of awareness, sharpening and increasing our attention span, keeping our attention on the present moment,
helping us to take action from a state of acknowledging what is. A chant circle is part of our modern version of gathering
around a communal fire. Some possible outcomes of this practice are calm strength, stability of emotions, and
cognitive consonance with a grounded and centred state of mind. Explore the power of mantras with your voice
and your inner being, leading to peace, joy and harmony.
