Most frequently asked Question

Hello Everyone, having been asked frequently: "What is a primordial sound mantra?" I decided to give this short and simple explanation: 

A Primordial Sound Mantra (PSM) is a Mantra which is based on the sound, that could be heard by Yourself in the moment of Your birth at the place of Your birth. 

The universe and the earth together are producing sounds all the time, these sounds are changing around every 6 hours in a steady movement (just like the tides of the oceans do). 
Within a cycle of 28 days and nights there are about 117 sounds that can be well distinguished (and a few more). 
The change of sounds is pretty much happening parallel to the movement of the oceans with high water and low water following the gravity of the moon. 
In the moment of birth, at this step from non-manifest into manifest for You as a little human child there are still no audio filters set up by Your brain. 
The selection of individually relevant sounds is following the process of learning Your mother language within the first years of live. 
Before that we've all been able to receive the primordial sound frequencies in a certain range the construction of our ears is suitable for. Later on we select the sounds which are helpful to communicate (as well by music) and survive in nature and tend to forget about the others. 
The old Rishis, wise people from ancient India, took notes of the changing sounds in reference to the movement of the moon already some thousand years ago. These data could be found and revealed in the nadi (palm leaves) libraries of some old monasteries in India and this secret knowledge is now available as a reference system. In combination with some astronomical knowledge it is therefore now possible to recalculate which sound happened in the area at the above mentioned moment of transfer based on ones birth data (place, day, time). 
This sound then can be used as a mighty auditive memory anchor to travel back to this individual moment of transition, which is very supportive to find Your way into a state of deep meditation. 
The good news is: Every certified choprateacher in Your vicinity should be able to reveal Your sound birth sound mantra if You hand him (her) over Your birth data. You can find them on www.choprateachers.com. Contact the one in Your neighborhood and apply for the the beautiful live mantra ceremony, which really is a once in a lifetime event. Yes there are online solutions around for moments of urgency or if traveling is limited. Yes I have been giving Mantras on Skype or FaceTime myself before. If it's not too much of a hustle prefer the personal live encounter with Your teacher nearby.

Easy Start Meditation by Tris Thorp

Today I'll be proudly featuring Trista Thorp:

Tris has just sent me an e-mail describing how Meditation literally saved her life, that she studied at the Chopra Center to become a vedic master and that she's now sharing this timeless knowledge to help others. We got acquainted some years ago, when I met her as a speaker and  teacher at the "Journey into Healing" Conference with David Simon in Oxford. She was giving some of the meditation sessions and lectures. I was impressed, how easily this young lady took over the conference moderation and by the way how she mediated the knowledge. I have then met her again at the Chopra Center when I prepared for my own exams. By now she is probably one of the best meditation teachers You could find. 

She sent me an ingeniously simplified first step meditation instruction for beginners to share:

"To practice the So-Hum meditation, all you need to do is:

1. Find a comfortable place to sit upright in a chair or on the ground.
2. Bring your awareness to your breathing, allowing yourself to settle into a relaxed state.
3. As you follow your breath in, silently think “So”
4. As you follow your breath out, silently think “Hum”
5. Whenever you notice your attention has drifted to thoughts in your mind (and you will), simply return to the silent repetition of the mantra So-Hum
6. At any point when you become distracted by noises in the environment, simply treat it as you would any other thought, without judgment, just return to your breath and the mantra So-Hum"

Tris Thorp states: "Meditation is a practice that saved my life, literally."

I  hope You enjoy this simple to learn practice and that You can share it Yourself, when friends - who may ask You what to do -  want to join in.

In any case of questions or doubt feel free to call either one of us to find answers

Namasté
