Notes for the Esoteric Sound Group Meeting

Esoteric Sound Group 2
Saturday 23rd Feb 08
Notes by Kathleen and Andrew

The evening started with Chris singing, rather than talking, us through a meditation connecting us to the gentle breath.

We then focussed on making the humming sound, in which we incorporated movement and the rhythm of the body with the breath until we could feel our heart centre physically vibrating in our bodies. We then went into the or-r-r-r sound focussing on the bell - like tone (remembering to stay connected to our hearts). The next step was to keep the or-r-r going with mouth wide open , keeping the sound gentle and full with a bit of volume, without allowing it to get too hard. Chris then developed this into an aum, which we maintained for some time until a sense of unity was felt.

We then sang an ooh sound backing vocal accompanied by Chris playing Spanish guitar and Jenny playing an Indian instrument I have forgotten the name of. This ESG was conducted with no formal structure. It was simply impulsed from the heart, this allowed the feeling and the experience of pure joy and liberation in simply being, surrendering and singing from the heart.
