In this practice we use chanting primarily as a way of elongating the breath in order to support parasympathetic or "rest and digest" nervous system activation.

Making sound in this way may feel a bit intimidating at first, the unfamiliar often feels this way! See if you can bring an inner smile and a sense of opening at your heart centre as we lean into the theme of making space with the chant Om Mane Padme Hum which can be translated as My Heart is Open like the Jewel in the Lotus Flower.
