The ancient practice of Nada Yoga – the Yoga of Sound – emphasises the transformative powers of sound (Sanskrit: Nada) to align body, mind, heart and spirit.
Instruments commonly associated with ancient Nada Yoga practices: the human voice, string instruments (Veena), flutes (Bansuri), traditional percussion instruments (Pakhawaj), conch shells (Shankha) as well as bells (Ghanta) and cymbals (Kartal). Singing bowls are not part of the traditional Nada Yoga toolbox, but they align with its principles and have become a valuable instrument in contemporary sound-based meditation and healing.
Purposes of Nada Yoga:
1. Union with the Divine
The word Yoga means union and Nada Yoga facilitates the merging of the individual self (Atman) with the universal consciousness (Brahman).
Sound, especially the primordial vibration (Om), is seen as the essence of creation and a bridge to transcendence.
2. Cultivating Inner Awareness
Nada Yoga trains practitioners to focus deeply on sound, moving from external sound (Ahata Nada) to the inner sound (Anahata Nada).
This process quiets mental chatter and fosters deep introspection.
3. Healing and Harmonization
Vibrations from sound influence the body's energy field and create balance on physical, emotional and spiritual levels.
It is believed that discordant vibrations in the body are harmonised by the pure tones of sacred sound, leading to healing.
4. Expanding Consciousness
By tuning into the subtle and imperceptible sounds of the inner self, practitioners deepen their connection to refined states of awareness.
The journey inward ultimately leads to an experience of oneness and liberation (moksha).
5. Calming the Mind
The repetitive, meditative use of sound helps regulate thoughts and emotions, reducing stress and facilitating inner calm.
