Chanting: Discovering Spirit in Sound
The
ancient art of chanting has long been embraced by the
world's great religious traditions as a path to healing
and enlightenment, but only recently has Western science
begun to recognize its therapeutic effects on the body
and mind. Chanting provides a fascinating introduction
to this powerful and increasingly popular practice and
shows you how to use chant in your own life as a powerful
tool for relaxation, body-mind healing, and spiritual
self-discovery.
Drawing on Robert Gass's own experience as one of the
world's best-known leaders of contemporary chant, as well
as the wisdom of sound healers from around the world,
Chanting explores the science of how sound affects both
our bodies and our consciousness and takes us on an engaging
tour of chant as it is used in Hindu, Christian, Buddhist,
Jewish, Islamic, African, Shamanic, Goddess, and Native
American traditions. Chanting provides simple exercises
and more than twenty musical scores to help you develop
a personalized chanting practice that can fuel everyday
activities with purpose and meaning.
Robert is a regular teacher at Omega, Hollyhock, Esalen, etc. Topics include: Chanting; couples retreats (with his wife Judith Ansara); leadership.

Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation.
Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound. — Kabir
