Inherent in these ancient syllables is a unique vibratory quality that\, when chanted with dedication\, resonates deeply within the practitioner\, fostering a sense of inner peace and harmony. This practice is a meditative journey that aligns the individual’s energy and intention with Mother Earth.  \nAs the collective chanting of these sacred words creates a shared energy field that nurtures and heals\, both individually and collectively\, thereby demonstrating the profound impact of these time-honoured Sanskrit chants on both human consciousness and the environment. Our facilitator will lead the group in a recitation of 108 Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu mantras in aid of world peace.  \n\n\n\nVenue Address\nSouth Belfast Quaker Meeting House22 Marlborough Park NorthBelfastBT9 6HJ \n\n\n\n\n\nParking\nThere is free car parking at the venue. \n\n\n  URL:https://bhaktimarga.ie/event/om-chanting-mantra-meditation-belfast/ LOCATION:South Belfast Quaker Meeting House\, 22 Marlborough Park North\, Belfast\, Northern Ireland\, BT9 6HJ\, Ireland CATEGORIES:OM Chanting Galway ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bhaktimarga.ie/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/OM-Chanting-and-Meditataion-Belfast-jpg.webp ORGANIZER;CN="Vamadev":MAILTO:vamadev@bhaktimarga.ie END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231104T173000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231104T190000 DTSTAMP:20231103T181319Z CREATED:20231023T095441Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231103T181319Z UID:10000141-1699119000-1699124400@bhaktimarga.ie SUMMARY:Kirtan Jam - North Dublin DESCRIPTION:Kirtan\, rooted deeply in the Indian spiritual tradition\, is an ancient form of sacred music that bridges the divide between the individual and the divine. It involves the group singing of spiritual mantras\, usually in a call-and-response format. But Kirtan is much more than just singing; it’s a journey. As the melodies unfold\, the room begins to vibrate with energy\, hearts open\, minds calm\, and the sacred becomes palpable. \nMantras to Music\nThis Kirtan evening promises a transformative experience as we set profound and powerful mantras to soul-stirring melodies. Mantras\, often described as sacred sounds or phrases\, have been used for millennia to promote inner peace and connection to a higher power. Accompanied by traditional instruments and resonant voices\, the chants come alive\, dancing their way into our very souls. \n\nBenefits of chanting mantras\n\nMindfulness & Meditation: The rhythmic repetition helps anchor the mind\, reducing the clutter of daily distractions and promoting a deep state of meditation.\nInner Peace: The sonic waves created during Kirtan harmonise and calm the mind\, bringing about an inner stillness that’s rare in our fast-paced world.\nSpiritual Connection: It fosters a deeper connection to the self and the universe\, promoting a sense of oneness and unity.\nEmotional Release: Kirtan offers a safe space to release pent-up emotions\, helping practitioners feel lighter and more at ease.\nCommunity Bonding: Sharing the Kirtan experience with others creates a profound sense of community and belonging.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n  \nWhat’s a Kirtan jam?\nUnlike a traditional concert\, where the music is performed to an audience\, Kirtan Jam is all about group participation. Whether you’re an accomplished musician or someone who simply loves to sing along\, this event welcomes all to lead and contribute to the collective rhythm. Dive into the heart of ancient chants and rhythms\, and feel the unity of voices rising together in song. No experience is required – just bring your enthusiasm and your voice. Come and be a part of this soul-stirring\, communal musical journey. See you there!
