It is not only help to focus on what we are doing or experiencing in that moment

It is not hard as it’s sound like, it is the sound of our inner self or universe 

Chanting is about as  opposite from that as you can get, the hole perpose of chanting is to let go all our thoughts , 

And bring  your attention to the Mantra or sound, through this we train our self to let go all over the things that had caught us

As you finish the reading this, sit quietly for a moment and listen to your inner self

This is the first step of “NADA” yoga, to listen your self first

Now you have finished your first  step of NADA yoga

Suppose you get lost, when you are going to your home

You are walking down a country road, after some time it started to become foggy , it started to become dark

Now you find yourself  walking across open country  unable to see more than a few feet in front of you 

How will you find the right direction to home as the night become more darker

You get worried about this and the fear begin to well up inside of you, I’m lost and Never get home!

Then you remember your home and family who loves you, who waiting there for you

You feel the love in your heart and you find you are no longer fearful

You hear a sound in some distance, it is not recognisable, but it is familiar 

Now you start moving in the direction of sound, and the sound get muted after some while 

It is difficult to recognise that where the sound is coming from but you continuosly  moving toward it 

It begins to glow more brightly , it becomes a fixed point of radiant light

As you get closer you recognize sound as the voice of someone who loves you and care about you

They are calling your name , as you move towards them, you realise you can see through the window of your living room,

You have find your way of home to the love of your family

Every day we try to find our way through the fog of distraction in the world around us, and we search for any sound that can help us to recognise our destination

Any light that indicates what direction we should take

In NADA yoga the calling voice is our inner voice, the warm bright fire or light is the internal divine

NADA yoga is the yoga of listening, it is a way to turn in word or a journey that may eventually lead you to enlightenment

In the West , when we think about yoga, usually think about “Hatha yoga” the practice of a series of physical posture

There are other form of yoga  , that are not physical practice just like

           

• Karma yoga- the yoga of action                           
• Bhakti yoga– the yoga of devotion                            
• Jnana yoga– the yoga of knowledge                           
• Raja yoga– the yoga of meditation

The meaning of yoga is “to yoke” ‘join” a hach” harness’ are the transition of Sanskrit word yoga 

With the practice of NADA yoga, we take away the illusion that we are all separate, by following the radiance of divine light, and the vibration of the sacred sound

The four levels of sound is comes  from philosophers and linguist’s of the Vedic period of ancient India

It is taken from the Vedas or the kundalini Upanishad

When a person is about to speak , they start with “para“(beyond) sound ,it is the pure intention without the word or any form

This leads to the next level ” pashyanti“( visual) sound, in this level person is forming an intention or any idea

Now it’s come to “madhyama“( between sound and thoughts)

And the final level  “vaikhari“( utterance) in this level the person speak to the external world or thoughts

This process takes place from outer world to the inner world of the NADA

When we reach the higher level , we can connect with outer world or thoughts

This is the 2nd level of sound, in the mind , this is the sound d which can imagine or recall  into mind

Our brain had stored many of sound like this example- songs , emotions

This is the 3rd level of sound, it is the visual level of sound

Where the visual worlds or auditory world  intersect , overlap or eventually merge

Example- when reading a novel word can point a picture  in our mind 

Or while leasing radio we can easily visualises that 

Going further we can construct and visual picture of any sound  like instrumental music

This is the 4th level of sound, para can be understood  In the number of ways  like – beyond words , beyond sound , beyond our sense organ, beyond what we had reached, beyond our imagination

Para is our inner perception of our connection to something greater then ourselves

Due to having  different  frequency  every Mantra affect different parts of body

Like in kundalini yoga you have to try different Mantra for each chakra
