Mantras for Precarious Times

Deva Premal

CD AUD29.95

This powerful new CD from Prabhu Music features Deva Premal as she demonstrates the healing quality of mantras when chanted in the traditional way - 108 times.

Each track is 7-9 minutes in length. According to the ancient Vedic scriptures, our bodies - physical and subtle - contain 72,000 energy channels, which are called Nadis. There are 108 major Nadis that meet in the 'Sacred Heart' (hrit padma).

By chanting a mantra 108 times, the energy permeates the entire body through these energy channels. "I offer these mantras with the prayer that they will inspire and bless your life, as they have mine." - Deva Premal.

Chakra Balancing Yoga

Sharon Gannon

DVD AUD34.95

This one-hour practice is a healing practice for both the body and spirit. In Yogic tradition, the human body has seven energy centers called chakras.

When these energy centers are healthy and open, so are we, physically, emotionally, and in our relationships. But when they are blocked through injury, illness, or disconnection from others, we are blocked from being our best selves.

In this unique program, renowned yogini Sharon Gannon guides you through poses, affirmations, and mantras (simple chants) that open and balance the chakras.

More than a series of exercises, this is a complete mind-body-spirit practice. Your energy flowers and your life force flows. You feel a new sense of happiness, peace, and wholeness.
