Namaste!
More and more people are discovering the power of sound to transform our mind. You can click on the title to download one of our pieces, Tara Appears White With Amrita which was played on the NPR program 'To The Best Of Our Knowledge'. They selected an excerpt for the music of a November 11 show East Meets West: Dharma Days Yoga Nights
Sound is your first experience.
Silence is what you experience least.
Sound is what you experience most.
Everything happens between your ears,
even when it’s quiet and nothing is happening.
Life is a song your eyes hear.
Birds know more than we do.
The sun is a telecommunication device.
Each star has its own name.
Trees rustle because they like to.
Light is sound singing to itself.
Architecture is frozen music.
You favor an ear like an old friend.
I hear your heart first.
You hear your last breath.
Death is a new sound.
Welcome to the website of Padma Soundsystem, a collective of musicians and healers dedicated to benefiting people through sound. We are creating sounds and music to calm the mind and offer relief from the stress of daily existence. There are free downloads available in each podcast so make sure to visit those pages.
WE ARE SOUND - The benefits of listening to sound yoga:
We need to listen to where we're going...
Sound is the first thing we become conscious of while gestating in our mother's womb. We're all instruments. We seek a sonic expression of collective will. Our will to heal ourselves and be free of suffering. Everyone needs to relax. We spend too much time processing information with our eyes. We live on a fast planet whirling through space. We need to listen to where we're going.
In experiencing the yoga of sound, we free ourselves of repetitive and discursive thoughts. We free our visual cortex of over stimulation. We discover the secrets of esoteric language and method. Immersed in the moment, sound becomes our spiritual search engine, OPENING that which is the innermost essence within each of us. We learn through listening that we are sound.
Our hearts open in coherence.
Our sounds are small mobile sonic villages. Adapting to the rhythms of solar storms. Spewed by some miraculous desert energies through our voices. More and more padma soundsystem is becoming intentional sound as a global healing project. More and more our intention is to be of benefit. This is the secret of heart opening bodhicitta. With a wish to free all beings. May all beings be happy may all beings be free.
"To those who have the nature of compassion I offer palaces resounding with melodious hymns, Exquisitely illuminated by hanging pearls and gems, That adorn the infinity of space." Shantideva
A prayer from Shantideva's The Way of the Bodhisattva:
For all the beings ailing in the world,
Until their every sickness has been healed,
May I myself become for them
The doctor, nurse and the medicine itself. (III, 8)
Raining down a flood of food and drink,
May I dispel the ills of thirst and hunger,
And in these times of scarcity and famine,
May I myself appear as food and drink. (III, 9)
For sentient beings who are destitute and poor,
May I become a treasure ever plentiful.
And lie before them closely in their reach,
A varied source of all that they might need. (III, 10)
Akashagarbha Bodhisattva
Akashagarbha (Tibetan: Namkhai Nyingpo) Matrix of the Sky or Womb-of-Space
At Kharchu in Lhodrak in the Glorious Cavern
You accomplished the Immaculate Mind directly,
And with consummate skill of the Mind you rode the sun's rays:
Homage to Namkhai Nyingpo.
