Product Description
Review
?Johari. . . has impeccable enunciation and he both educates and elevates listeners with this invaluable pronunciation guide for the 50 Sanskrit letters. . . . The sounds on this CD are so enthralling it's easy to see why many people find recitation so powerfully transformative.?
Product Description
A companion to Harish Johari's book Chakras: Energy Centres of Transformation, this CD provides the authentic sounds for meditation on each of the chakras. While Johari's book gives phonetic guidelines for intoning the appropriate bija sounds, learning the correct pronunciation requires a knowledgeable teacher and guide. In Sounds Of Chakras, Johari presents the entire intonation cycle that should be practiced with each chakra meditation in a manner that students can follow with ease.

There is a great deal of misunderstanding about the chakras in the west, and many books I've come across seem to increase the muddle. I am an experienced yoga teacher and have come across all sorts of wild and weird concepts from many students as well as other yoga teachers, on what the chakras actually mean. This book, by the scholar Harish Johari is very well written, and explains with graphic illustrations, each chakra in depth. There is also a CD that you can buy that accompanies this book, so that students learning about the chakras can listen to the exact sound that each chakra is supposed to make.

If you're looking for one spiritual practice that will generate a feeling of spiritual integration, this is it. It takes abour 20 minutes to chant the sounds of the chakras, but the result is a feeling of being emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually "drawn together". I find it much easier to communicate what I'm thinking and feeling after chanting these mantras because I feel calmer, clearer and more "connected up". Recommended if you feel you'd benefit from a regular spiritual tune-up session.Excellent instructions on how to chant each sound. There's also a seperate book you can buy by Johari to accompany this CD. Check it out.

awakens the chakras

This cd is perfect for anyone who understands the chakras and is familiar with meditation. Respect it as a set of vocal tuning forks. It will greatly improve the effect of a chant meditation for the chakras. Reiki practioners may find this cd a compliment to their energy work.

Sounds of the Chakras...
23 April 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a meditation teacher with a background in shakti-kundalini yoga. While my primary area of interest is integral psychology, I am well versed in various traditions and did some some study in the kundalini yoga with Olga Louchakova M.D., Ph.D. who is Director of the shakti-kundalini association and a researcher in this area.
In this CD, Harish Johari demonstrates the correct pronunciation of the mantra that goes along with each chakra and each petal of each chakra. These are introduced systematically starting with the root chakra and working upwards.
This is a good CD to accompany Johari's very comprehensive Chakras: Energy Centers of Transformation. This will tell you as much as you want to know about any chakra, detailed information about yantras (mandalas used for chakra meditation) and tranformation practices. For Westerner's who would like a less detailed and more accessible introduction to working with chakras try Kundalini Awakening: A Gentle Guide to Chakra Activation and Spiritual Growth.
Harish Johari is widely respected and his written works are detailed and quite comprehensive. This CD is very good, although his voice wasn't recorded as clearly as I would have liked. This is the only reason why I gave this product a four rather than a five. It's not terrible, it just isn't completely up to modern standards and some of this may have to do with his voice itself. I think it would have been helpful to have at least two different people pronounce each of these sounds, perhaps a man and a woman for even more clarity.

Build Confidence
29 Nov 2008
I am in a Prana Yoga Teacher program that incorporates chanting with asana practice.
Before listening to Johari's CD, I was very sheepish about pronouncing the bija mantras. However, I was able to import the CD into mp3 format and have listened to the instructions and meditations over time.
Now I feel that I can completely connect with the vibratory power of the mantras and understand the legacy of the sanskrit alphabet as contained in the sounds of the chakras and their petals.
I strongly recommend this CD.
