Chanting
Instructions Spiral Chanting
The Chakras have a spirally formed vibrational correspondence as follows: Do-Si, Re-La, Mi-So, Fa or Do-Do Si-Re, La-Mi, So-Fa.The Spirals:
DoDoReSiMiLaFaSoFaLaMiSiRe (first Do low, second Do high)
Do’DoSiReLaMiSoFaSoMiLaReSi (first Do high, second Do low)
Awareness and consciousness can be further fine-tuned through spiral chanting.
It is a journey from the material world towards transcendence. Sound is the bridge between the material and the spiritual worlds. The spiritual world becomes a conscious reality. Consciousness is no longer steered by the ego, but it becomes a tool with which to move in the material world. Gradually the illusion of separation disappears. We can live more intuitively and can feel our spiritual guidance. The cosmos reveals the soul level of our existence.
The high Do is represented by the Aura energy point. This point is situated exactly one arm’s length above at the tip of the hand or slightly above. Imagining that you are breathing out from this point can have the effect of something like a shower of light over the aura.
In Spiral Chanting we breathe in 2-3 pulses into the relevant Chakra or into the Aura energy point, then we breathe out 5-6 pulses while chanting before we breathe in again for the next Chakra of the spiral, etc...
The Indian shaman Beautiful Painted Arrow says that we take up “heavenly” energy with the in-breath and that earth energy is taken up with the out-breath. Visualising this whilst chanting – as he says - unites heaven and earth
As in Spiral Chanting Scale Chanting comprises three movements in consciousness:
- Vowel sounds at tone level Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do
- Breathing: 3+5 or 2+6 (breathing in to the count of 2-3 and then breathing out to the count of 5-6)
- Conscious placement of the breath in the energy center
