Sound is an active meditation in our daily lives. We speak and hope others hear. We listen and try to sense what their sounds make. Chanting besides being a healthy way to feel better, to intone gratitude or similar offerings to a Higher Power, reminds us of the endless variety of sounds we may make. It opens our ears to how we are creating sound. It allows us to practice making sounds that vibrate throughout our bodies. Chanting helps us practice flexibility of sound for the endless variety of ways our words, our bodies and our listening enrich our daily lives.
