In Primordial Sound Meditation, a technique revived by Deepak Chopra, M.D., two very important things happen. One is deep rest resulting in the release of stress and rejuvenation. The other is a re-connection to Spirit and the remembrance of who we really are. This state of restful alertness, uniquely found in meditation, enriches all aspects of life and results in numerous benefits for the mind, body and soul:
Better health and vitality, decreased stress, increased creativity, greater enthusiasm for life, increased happiness, increased intuition, more fulfilling relationships, a sense of calm and peace, a renewed sense of well-being, increased synchronicity & even the reversal of aging.

This is where I will cover the basic principles and origins of Primordial Sound Meditation, the use of mantras and the value and amazing benefits of meditation.

After we cover all the basics in session 1 each student will receive their personal mantra in a one-on-one meditation instruction in a separate room. The one-on-one portion just takes a few minutes.
