Overview

Reforge your heart with mantras! The power of sound through the voice is one of the most effective tools readily available to each of us for healing, empowerment and enlightenment. In Vocal Medicine Kathleen Karlsen shares engaging stories of her personal journey with mantras, chanting, and kirtan, and provides a fascinating look at the ancient history and future potential of these practices.
