Hi DC Chanters,

I thought you'd be interested in this Sound Healing Circle that's taking place this Friday evening in Falls Church at the Center for Spiritual Enlightenment. While it's not a DC Chant event, I will be there at CSE and helping out. Barry has an amazing sound and I've heard fantastic things about him for months!

He'll be at CSE on Sunday for a "Sacred and Inspirational Sound Experience" too. Check out that event on Sunday the 27th on our Calendar. You can go to his site to hear mp3 samples of his signature ambient sound. You can rsvp here, but pay at the door on Friday evening.

Join us as Carl Davis, an accomplished player of the Gongs from St. Louis, leads us into a unique sound experience!

In 1991, Carl was inspired to go to China to study with the Buddhist Priests at the Shaolin Temple. While there, meditating on one of the three mountains, a small "ancient" looking monk appeared and told him of an instrument that heals by vibration and sound. He further stated that over 6,000 years ago the wise ones of the earth had mastered the art of healing with vibrations created by instruments similar to the gongs that can still be found in temples throughout the orient. However, the art of combining the harmonic energies of the instrument to heal had been lost. The ancient one offered to teach him this art if he would agree to create the instrument. He would be shown how to create the healing sound patterns that the instrument was capable of generating, and asked to serve as a teacher of this lost art in the western world..

I've been listening to his CD all week and it's mesmerizing. The shimmering and softly rhythmic sounds are penetrating with healing effects at a deep level. We will be chanting with the planet at the lunch hour on this day with group members, so we'll be primed for the evening to sit back and let these magical sounds wash over us!

Seating is first come, first served so arrive early!

This is a "not to be missed" event. See ya there! Sheila

$20 per person. Pay at the door.

Tantra has been said to be one of the most important Indian traditions, representing the practical aspect of the Vedic tradition. The word "tantra" is derived from the combination of two words "tattva" and "mantra". "Tattva" means the science of cosmic principles, while "mantra" refers to the science of mystic sound and vibrations. Tantra therefore is the application of cosmic sciences with a view to attain spiritual ascendancy. In another sense, tantra also means the scripture "by which the light of knowledge is spread."

Tantra itself means "to weave, to expand, and to spread", and according to tantrik masters, the fabric of life can provide true and ever-lasting fulfillment only when all the threads are woven according to the pattern designated by nature. When we are born, life naturally forms itself around that pattern. But as we grow, our ignorance, desire, attachment, fear, and false images of others and ourselves tangle and tear the threads, disfiguring the fabric. Tantra "sadhana" or practice reweaves the fabric, and restores the original pattern. The profound science and practices pertaining to hatha yoga, pranayama, mudras, rituals, kundalini yoga, nada yoga, mantra, mandala, visualization of dieties, alchemy, ayurveda, astrology, and hundreds of esoteric practices for generating worldly and spiritual prosperity blend perfectly in the tantrik disciplines.
Tantricism exists in Hinduism and Buddhism in Japan, Tibet and South Asia among many other traditions, religions and countries.

We'll be exploring sound through the filter of the Tantric principle of manifesting spirit through the physical with ancient and traditional Tantric chants as well as toning the Shiva and Shakti (the male and the female energy) that are both embodied within each of us.

Join us on June 9th, June 20th or June 28th; address and time listed on site
