Heart Connection Community Kirtan
Connecting hearts through Chanting

 Join us for a blissful evening of connection through Chanting with Susan St.Clair and friends.
Chanting opens the heart, expands awareness and connects us to the one heart we share with all of Creation.  Experience it for yourself! Come and sing with us tonight.

A little about our style of Kirtan:

Our focus ensures that everyone in the room can comfortably sing along with us, beginners and experts alike. We sing in unison (rather than traditional call & response) and song sheets are always provided.  We focus on traditional chants that are simple and melodious and in a range that most people can sing in.

Kirtan provides the same deep states of relaxed alertness that meditation does, but without the effort and in a very fun exhilarating process.
Group chanting of Sacred Mantras is simultaneously very energizing and deeply relaxing. As we sing together we begin to breathe deeply in unison. Without effort, our chattering minds are silenced and a profound state of connected stillness and bliss is felt by all in the room. Throughout the week, the peace and renewal we create in community kirtan flows through us enriching our lives and the global community.

Mantras

We chant sacred mantras that have their roots in the ancient wisdom teachings of the Vedas.
Mantras are universal sacred sounds that were cognized by the Sages and Yogis of Ancient India while in deep states of meditation. These sounds became the language of Sanskrit. The Sanskrit word Mantra means "that which liberates us from the mind".

Chanting mantras also establishes particular breathing patterns known as pranayama, that in turn have very positive and profound effects on the mind and body.  The quickest way to calm and still the mind, is through the breathe.  The different methods of Yoga and Meditation describe many pranayama techniques, but all basically are methods of controlling and directly the prana or life- energy through conscious breathing. 

Mantras are sounds that have a universal and profound effect upon our body-mind-spirit as well as all levels of our environment. Their sound vibrations calm and stabilize us at sub-cellular levels, opening blocked energetic pathways and re-establishing the harmonious, balanced flow of energy.
