This is a Vedic chant from the Taittirīya-brāhmaṇa.

It is chanted to assist those suffering from ill health or if you yourself are unwell. It draws on the elements, the planets and deities as powers that exist within us and asks for nourishment.

This chant is called Laghunyāsaḥ which means ‘lightly placed’ because as you chant you can lightly place your hands on each area of the body that we wish to nourish, using our touch to enhance our awareness and healing.

For example it starts with: May the fire in me nourish my voice, May my voice be connected to my heart. Then, may the air around me nourish my prana; May my prana be connected to my heart and so on…

And after each verse comes a repeating chorus, which makes the chant rather long… However, the chorus is so beautiful you will be happy to repeat it again and again to reinforce its meaning, which is:

May my heart be connected to the eternal within me.

And may the eternal within me be connected to infinite consciousness.

So this chant is especially about nourishing our spiritual heart – hṛdaya. In this time of self-isolation, separation from others we are reminded of that infinite consciousness that connects us all; that makes us ONE eternal heart.

Enjoy…

      You are so welcome Beth.

      I hope you are well.

      Have a listen to the new mastered version by Scott Mitchell… I believe you were at one of his and Raji Dev’s Kirtan concerts at 8 Limbs. He is also a sound technician now as well as a very talented multi-instrumentalist! Beautiful production!

    Nyaasa means purification, anga means parts of the body. This self-purification is an essential process to be with the creator. This is the reason for this chant. Of course only when we are a healthy mind and body this process can take place. So, if we understand why we are chanting, it will become clearer, to be one with God. Body, mind, and intellect and sesses daily get impurities, so we need daily chant. HopeI explained with some understanding I have, I shared with you. Blissful Life.

    Hello Doctor Monica,

    Tracey Woodbridge sent me this link because she knows that i am unwell at present.

    My soul says that sometimes it is necessary to be given DIS-EASE so that when healing is given one KNOWS that the soul can heal ANYTHING.

    Love to you and Gregor.

    Stay well xx

      Lovely to hear from you. I am sorry to hear you are in dis-ease. You have always had deep insight and wisdom. Nature needs no help to heal, only no interference.

      Sending you love and healing blessings…

      Namaste
      Monica
