Robert Gass Chanting

"We chant to help the stress and freneticness of our busy lives melt away. We chant to spread our wings and let our soul take flight. We chant because it's fun."

Chanting is an important tool used by people everywhere to heal their bodies, quiet their minds, and bring the sacred into their lives.

I want you to try something.   Take a deep breath and say, "haaaaaaaal  laaaaaaaaaaaayluuuuuuuuuu
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah." Do it again.   Now, one more time.  Feel good?  That's chanting.  Most of us equate chanting with monks or Yogi's, however,any one can experience the life changing benefits of chanting.

Many have asked, "Why chant?"  Chanting is one of the most instanteneously beneficial mental and emotional cleansers available.  And, in addition to being a fun and highly focusing spiritual tool, it also provides the body with a 'sonic massage' alleviating tension and stress.  And, it can be done, anytime, anywhere;  in the car, in your home, at the park or in the shower. 

So many of us say, "But I can't sing!"   This carryover of  shame and fear that stifles your personal expression can be conquered.  There are ways to begin to sing, chant and let your voice be heard.

In "Straight from the Heart's "Chanting," Robert Gass, author, musician, psychotherapist and long-time chanter shows us how to overcome those blocks that keep up from the full expression of our inner voice.   

So, tune in, and allow the power of chant to cleanse and improve your life.
