The Healing Power of Kirtan
by Anonymous
I’ve had many powerful Kirtan experiences each with a different awakening or lesson.
If you are present at these Kirtans, there can be so many shifts in your awareness.
But by far, the most awe inspiriting Kirtan, was with Deva Premal and Miten recently in New York City. They are wonderful artists and their music can be primal in a way.
During their Kirtan, we chanted a mantra on a mala 108 times. I don’t know how nor when I arrived at my sacred spot but I was there feeling the light radiating down on me. It was getting brighter and more expansive. My whole being saturated with the light.
Then it happened, a release of endorphins. A release of endorphins. My whole body with tiny bubbles of endorphins bursting at different intervals.
Whoa, what? Yes, little, tiny bubbles of endorphins bursting causing the tiniest shudders.
I relaxed into that moment and surrendered to my body healing itself. It was an incredible and enlightening experience.
In writing this essay, and trying to describe it, I thought back to those moments. I can put myself back into that space.
What made this Kirtan more powerful than any other was “that” experience. So my mind CAN truly facilitate my body’s healing.
Yes, we have been told that for years. But I now have irrefutable proof and I now know or rather my body knows how to do it.
I feel grateful and blessed to have had that experience and pray that I may, one day, help facilitate someone else’s connection to their own healing.
NOTE:
Although not mentioned above, it was through “Divine Grace” that this experience was possible. Hari Om
