The Guru-Free Guide to Nada Yoga: Sound Current Meditation for the Rest of Us

Nada Yoga is a meditative practice using sound. The Guru-Free Guide teaches the use of inner sound as a path of centering and higher consciousness. This method is also called Shabd Yoga or Sound Current Meditation.Written for the independent-minded seeker, the book distills this ancient technique to its essentials. Some Nada Yoga practices are actually singing, chanting or listening to musical instruments. In contrast, this book concerns the so-called unstruck sound not produced by vibrations in air. Classical Yoga recognizes this method, but it remains little known in the West.The word Nada or Nad refers to flow, while Shabd refers to sound, word or speech. The Sound Current has been called a signal from the Cosmos, the Sound of Silence, the Naam or Word, and the Audible Life Stream.People practice meditation for health and relaxation, but it can have a greater purpose if the individual so wishes. This book is intended for those who want to experience a deeper portion of themselves and to feel this connection directly.
