Like your meditation with lesssilence and more energy? It is probably time to check out Kirtan.
Kirtan is a time honoredmeditation practice that fuses sacred sounds with music and sends you to atranscendental realm far beyond this material world. It is soulful. It is lively, and it isanything but boring. What is more, it happens every week at the Mantra Room in West End of Brisbane.
It is Meditation but not as youknow it
Not used to having music aspart of your meditation? Kirtan is a participatory and approachable form ofmeditation. It uses dynamic and sacred world music that incorporates the voicesof the audience right into the meditative experience.
As an ancient yogic practice,Kirtan was traditionally accompanied with Indian instruments. However, in thehands and voices of contemporary practitioners, Kirtan has been beautifullytransported to all cultural and musical styles without losing its genuinespiritual authenticity.
