Mantra practice testimonies
Jo Mall Kahn, from Edo & Jo:
Kirtan is a sangha [coming together for spiritual upliftment]...authentically sharing what we are going through...A part of the process of singing kirtan is to connect to our vulnerability, not trying to be perfect, but accepting me as I am, this is the only thing we can do.
Maaji Bornstein from Radiant Light Yoga:
Every aspect of ourselves may serve as a doorway to the infinite. Just as our bodies become powerful conduits for the transformation of our beings, we can use the power of sound through the instrument of the voice to awaken, purify, and uplift ourselves on the deepest level.
Krishna Das:
Practice isn’t only while we’re sitting down chanting. It begins like that, but gradually we are digging down to a deeper place in our own hearts that we live in. If we close down, it becomes more obvious to us than it was before. It hurts more. […] We are developing a deeper centre of gravity that allows us to more easily let go of […] experiences. We need leverage. Practice gives us that.

Cate Geard from Now for Yoga:
Let the Way of the Heart
Let the Way of the Heart
Let the Way of the Heart shine through
Love upon love upon love
All hearts are beating as one
Light upon light upon light
Shining as bright as the Sun
Mantra practice can be a vital and joyful aspect of Yoga practice!
I sing this song to remind me that I have a conscious choice to make in every moment.
In response to life situations, I can shift out of heartspace, or I can let it shine through.
The more I consciously keep heartspace open, the stronger it becomes trusted guide.
An open heart vibrates PEACE FOR ALL as its mantra.
