Mantra Meditatie | Grietje van der Mossel

MANTRA MEDITATION
Quiet your thoughts and enter a meditative state by chanting mantras during this mantra meditation.


WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO

In In the beautiful and relaxing setting of De Meditatietuin we come together and start with a cup of tea. There is also time to feel the energy of the group. The meditation room has mats, meditation cushions and blankets ready for you to sit comfortably. Grietje accompanies the group on her Indian harmonium in singing a number of mantras. Singing each mantra is followed by a meditative silence, in which the vibrations of the mantra can do their work and you can integrate the energy of the sounds.


WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

Singing mantras puts you in a state of connection. This can be connection with yourself, connection with the others in the group, but also connection with something higher. That experience is always unique, and always yours. You will receive some explanation about the meaning of the mantras, but you certainly do not need to have any knowledge of them to be able to feel the positive vibrations of the mantras. The sounds themselves and their deeper meaning take you from thinking, to feeling, to being. You don't have to have any singing experience or be able to sing well! If you find it exciting to make your voice heard, this can be a great way to reduce that tension. You don't have to sing, you can also hum or just listen. The mantras then also do their energetic work.


FOR WHOM?

Anyone who is interested in meditating
Anyone who likes to make sounds or is curious about this naar is
Anyone who wants to connect with themselves and with others


YOUR FACILITATOR

Grietje van der Mossel has been singing all her life. For example, as a child she sang the highest song in the school musical, as a student for her (examination) music subject, and since she started studying in various close-harmony groups for, among other things, jazz and pop music. Until recently she sang as a low alto in an Amsterdam women's choir for world music. For her, singing polyphonically and especially together feels like breathing. Now she focuses entirely on her passion, namely singing mantras together and accompanying the group on her Indian harmonium. In addition to various styles of physical yoga, she practices bhakti yoga, a way to “achieve self-realization through love and dedication”. She puts that universal love in singing together and connecting together in that way. She organizes mantra meditation sessions and mantra singing circles under the name SanghaSang, a name with which she honors her connection, her love for language and her Frisian roots.
