MOONLIGHT MANTRAS - Sunday 8am

[Luna Bliss]

          MOONLIGHT MANTRAS

Every Sunday @ 8am (or a bit before to warm up) we gather 'round the campfire beside the vast ocean and the shining moon to sing inspirational songs of love.
Singing Mantras is a devotional experience where we honor love in all its forms and feel the bliss at the core of existence.
Let's develop an expanded sense of love together -- Sunday @ 8am, singing almost up until the 9am Sunday ceremonies @ Shambhala Sanctuary.

Be sure and change your environment -- it's Moonlight Mantras!  ｡◕‿◕｡
   (top Menu >>> World >>> Environment >>> Midnight)

Singing mantras/chants/songs can be a great way to develop not just your physical voice, but your 'soul' voice too. And we can also learn new languages, cultures, and spiritualities.

Usually we sing along with YouTube videos, and sometimes I play my own music stream. We aren't actually projecting our voices inworld, so no need to have a microphone enabled or worry about what your voice sounds like, as only you and your cats can hear you sing. ｡◕‿◕｡

           ♥♥♥♥  INFO ABOUT MANTRAS  ♥♥♥♥  

There are different levels of participation when singing mantras for these gatherings:
~ Perhaps you'll want to sit back and relax, and drift along with the beautiful music. When singing Mantras each day I always start with this step before embarking on the following levels.
~ Perhaps you'll want to focus on becoming familiar with new languages and/or spiritualities around the world.
~ Perhaps you'll want to improve your voice. My singing voice has improved considerably since singing mantras in earnest -- I start by turning the video up loud and pretending I sound like the singer ｡◕‿◕｡....lo and behold after many repetitions I notice I'm actually hitting the notes!
~ Perhaps you'll want to work on projecting yourself into the world to a greater degree with your voice (a major focus of mine atm). I even feel my chakras strengthening (particularly my solar plexus chakra), and my breath is improving as it becomes deeper with greater volume, and the muscles in my mid-section are becoming stronger.
~ Perhaps you'll want to bypass the chattering mind and become one with the sound as a kind of meditation (be totally in the present moment or in a flow state), sometimes as a preparation for deeper meditation (as is often the case in Bhakti Yoga where mantras and Kirtan dancing and singing take place before meditation). This is a truly blessed and amazing state of consciousness when it happens to me, and this 'flow state of consciousness' is crucial to the creative process in all creative endeavors
The ability to experience this state of consciousness while singing Mantras is like a muscle that becomes stronger and applies to my personal efforts in creating visual art and with songwriting.

** Repetition of mantra phrasings helps to transport you to the type of consciousness described above where the conscious mind is not so active, so if you find yourself getting bored with the repetition of a phrase then close your eyes and focus on being drawn into the sound. Harmonizing will help maintain focus as well.
The word "mantra" means to deliver or free the mind.

           ♥♥ INSTRUCTIONS AS WE BEGIN ♥♥

*Turn off the land music via the speaker symbol @ the top right on your viewer screen.  Make sure 'Media' is checked and turned up.
Your microphone needs to be turned off as we are not projecting our voice inworld.
*The music should start playing on its own once I load it, and we will all be in sync. Let me know if you don't hear it as there is a bit of troubleshooting we can do.

Troubleshooting: make sure you have auto-play enabled in your Media settings (Firestorm: Go to top menu >>> Avatar >>> Preferences >>> Sound & Media >>> Media). 'Media auto-play' should be enabled in the drop-down box.

I need to emphasize again, if you're here to sing and want to get the most out of singing mantras.....TURN UP THE VOLUME! -- SING LOUD WITH ℒ❤ѵℯ & ENTHUSIASM! -- VIBRATE!. Mantras work best if you sing from your heart --  visualize something you love to bring heart focus.
