“Sat,” meaning truth, and “sanga,”meaning group—a group of truth seekers. A group of truth seekers? What is the truth we are seeking? The sages say that truth is that which never changes. Many of us are longing for a deep connection in a world of phenomena that are ever changing. Unfortunately, we seek this connection outside of ourselves and come up dry—for anything we see in this world is not going to last.
Once a month, these truth seekers come together to experience deep connection through chanting the yoga sutras and the silence of meditation. Chanting mantra (from “manas,” minds, and “tra,” to protect) in the ancient language of Sanskrit—a language of vibration—is an excellent vehicle that provides an opportunity to feel this connection in a profound way.
We literally chant words that are designed through their pronunciation to protect the mind—to purify the mind by drawing our attention inward into silence. In this silence, we enter into the state of yoga—of connection to our true self, which is naturally peaceful and full of joy.
We walk into the studio with our minds whirling from the problems and stresses of our day. We chant the sutras, keep our bodies still, and experience the pulsation of silence itself. The end result is bliss and tranquilly that can only be felt and not described in words. Our minds, which were once turbulent, are now quiet, and we leave the studio transformed and blissful.
Join us for this magical experience and the miracle of transformation. Once a month, a group of spiritual seekers meet at Breathe N Flow Yoga, in Freeport. There, Mindy Frenkel leads a group in chanting, discussion and meditation using the vehicle of the yoga sutra of Patanjali—one of the foundational texts of yoga.
