What is Primordial Sound Meditation?
"It allows you to unfold your best potential." --- Deepak Chopra
Primordial Sound Meditation originates in the ancient wisdom of India. Best-selling author and world expert on mind-body medicine, Deepak Chopra has revived this authentic practice and made it available in a format that can be easily learned and enjoyed.
Meditation is a tool for rediscovering our body's own inner intelligence. It's not about forcing our mind to be quiet, it's finding the stillness that's already there and making it part of our life. Silence is the birthplace of happiness; it's where we get our bursts of inspiration, our tender feelings of compassion, our sense of love. Meditation is a journey to freedom and self-knowledge.
Primordial Sound Meditation, as revived by Deepak Chopra M.D., is a mantra-based practice that systematically allows you to experience quieter, more peaceful levels of your mind. A mantra is a specific sound, which when used silently, serves as a vehicle to connect you with deeper aspects of your consciousness. With its origins in the ancient Vedic traditions of India, Primordial Sound Meditation is the perfect antidote to modern stress.
What are Primordial Sounds?
Primordial sounds are the basic, most essential sounds of nature; sounds in their purest form. Sounds like the wind in the trees or the waves crashing on a beach, sounds we may hear everyday or the sounds unique to every tradition and culture throughout the world. The specific primordial sounds used in meditation are called mantras. In Primordial Sound Meditation, we use these mantras silently to take our awareness away from the frenzied activity of the mind to the stillness of the Spirit, soothing body, mind and soul.
