The Roar of Silence
Monday, October 19th, 2009| As a child, Don G. Campbell’s life was filled with joyous sound, visuals, and stimulation. Everything was alive and magical to him, filled with rhythm. Then, a teacher told him to sit down, be quiet and learn. He wondered what she thought he had been doing for the past several years! This is a wonderful book that provides a fresh perspective on the importance of sound and music in the early stages of life. It also emphasizes the point that children need to be allowed to be children – hence the importance of having yoga classes specifically designed for them. |

The word “mantra” means the thought that liberates and protects. Mantras are sounds or words which have the ability to change the consciousness of the reciter. There are thousands of mantras in the Hindu tradition, each with a different purpose or intention. Mantras are used for energetic and empowering reasons, resonating and activating the chakras, and numerous other purposes.1
My favourite mantras-specific book is Healing Mantras by Thomas Ashley-Farrand, but Goldman’s book provided some excellent information on toning vowel sounds in relation to the chakras. |
