Mantras & Mudras Mantras are the repetition of words and phrases of special significance, and can be said either out loud or internally. Many of the spiritual traditions say that the universe began with a word, or sound from God. Mantras are a way of introducing and focusing this vibration, or sound, in ourselves.

Sound is a form of vibration. In fact everything in the universe vibrates at a certain frequency. Thus, by repeating a mantra we introduce the vibrational frequency of that mantra into ourselves, so that we too begin to resonate with the words and vibration of the mantra. By saying a mantra you are literally tuning yourself to resonate at the same vibrational frequency as the universe or the healing power or intention of that mantra.

Mudras are so much more than just hand positions. The Sanskrit word Mudra is translated as 'gesture' or 'attitude'. A Mudra locks and guides the energy flow and reflexes to the brain. Mudra is also defined as a 'seal' or ‘short-cut'. Together with the Bhandas, Mudras redirect the energy flow, linking the individual pranic energy with universal, cosmic force.

During this afternoon you will study various ancient mantras and mudras, understand their use and benefits and learn how to connect and redirect your own internal power through them. You will be able to incorporate them into your yoga practice and teachings as a tool for healing and deepening into more profound levels of meditation.
