About Vedic Chanting: It is said that hearing the sound of Vedic Chant imparts healing qualities to those who are listening. The act of chanting unites body, breath, mind and speech encouraging deep healing at all levels of the human system. The experience of listening and chanting is one of communication, sharing and coming together in sacred sound.
