MORNING MEDITATIVE SINGING
In this free session we will learn short and easy songs where we quickly can “let go”, lean into the harmonies and surrender to the music, kickstarting our day with joy and excitement. Meditative singing brings the practices of singing and meditation together in a warming and joy filled experience. Welcome to being infused with joy, love and warmth as you begin your day.
Why meditative singing?
Meditation is a practice that has been along for millennia, and the research shows that it improves concentration, attention, and emotional regulation, and is positively related to improved health and quality of life. One way to define meditation is the sustained and repetitive focus on an object, for example bodily sensations, a word or phrase.
Singing has been a cornerstone in human civilization for as long as we have recorded history. There is very good reason for this as research shows that singing together is one of the best activities to create a sense of belonging and community. We can see this on a biological level where people who sing together automatically synchronize with each other’s heart rhythm. A sense of belonging is foundational for us human beings, our well-being and mental health.
The songs come from various wisdom traditions from all over the world, like mantras, kirtan, Taizé etc.
The session will be led by psychologist and meditation instructor Andreas H. Schei who is passionate about music, community building and human well-being.
