Dear friends, yogies or not 😀
A wonderful yoga and sound teacher Nitya Mohan will be delivering a wonderful 2 days workshop on the healing qualities of sound, in Glasgow on 25-26th July.
This is what she shared with my yoga teacher Mark Russell about what she will teach in her workshop:
All thoughts are inner sounds. All emotions and feelings are inner vibrations first. Sound forms one of the deepest links between our mind and body. Our world is our mind and our mind is nothing but sound. To transform our world, is to change our inner and outer sounds. Much before we utter spoken words, our inner world of thoughts moves at various levels to form the expressed word. The ancient texts speak of this as the four stages of Vak or speech.
Furthermore, every living being communicates emotion through sound — from a bird’s call to a human sigh. And it is not just the words we choose, but the subtle differences in tone, pitch, volume, and cadence that express our feelings. It is through these that emotions such as joy, sorrow, fear, or peace are conveyed. The texts speak of these connections between Sabdam and Bhavam.
Sound is also a physical experience. This response is not learned — it’s an ancient, evolutionary connection, hardwired into us through millennia. Different sound frequencies affect our nervous system, heart rate, and emotions in distinct ways — some calming, some energizing, some transforming.
At the heart of sound lies breath. There can be no sound without breath. Breath is the thread that connects sound with our body and mind. Through conscious breathing, mindful listening, and intentional use of sound, we bring harmony to the mind, breath and body, reconnecting with a wisdom that is always within us."
I think it sounds absolutely beautiful. You can book here:
