CANTOALAGUA

Nature is a reflection of what is in our hearts. The river is as dirty as our consciousness is asleep. We believe that change comes from each individual and that when an individual knows himself/herself, he/she discovers that he/she is not separate from the other, nor from nature. Therefore, he takes care of it. We want to protect water because it is sacred.

We sing as a prayer, to honor and thank it, to ask forgiveness for the unconsciousness of the human being, so that it continues flowing, clean and harboring life, so that more and more of us will be those who press in concrete actions to clean it and protect it.

The blood that flows through our veins is like the water that flows in our rivers. All our emotions, actions, and thoughts affect our reality, the beings, and the energy around us. Human actions affect the entire planet. When our actions are true to our heart, and to our spiritual being, things manifest in a positive way.

When we act unconsciously or selfishly, the result is a sick planet, full of unconsciousness and lack of love. Thus, if our chanting is done with the energy of love, gratitude, and forgiveness, it will be received in the same way. The intention behind the chant, the word, the prayer, is capable of transforming a molecule of water, as well as a cell of the body. By singing, we are healing the water... and we are also healing ourselves. Nature is a reflection of what we have in our hearts; therefore, we can only contribute to heal our planet if we first heal ourselves.

Hidden messages in water.

Years ago, Dr. Masaru Emoto in his book “The Messages of Water”, demonstrated how our words, thoughts, and emotions have a direct effect on the molecular structure of water.

The chanting prayer of a Buddhist monk can transform the vibration and molecular structure of polluted water into pure, high-vibrational water crystals. Our human body is 75% water, the same as the Earth; let's imagine for a moment what we can do with the collective energy of a sound that has the intention of Love and Healing.

Singing the mantra AH

Why the “AH” vowel?

The sounds of syllables are sacred in many traditions. Those sounds have no specific meanings, however, from the spiritual and emotional perspective “AH” sound is associated with the energy of love and compassion. We emit the vibration of the “AH” sound when we are in love, feel tenderness, and experience relief.

“AH” is a universal sound. When we project the sound with focused energy, its vibration is highly powerful and effective. It creates an energy wave that transforms and positively affects the Earth. According to Indian traditions, each Chakra or human body whorls of energy is associated with a root sound. “AH” corresponds to Anahata, the Heart Chakra.

“AH” sound is also present in all God and Goddess names: Tara, Buda, Krishna, Gaia, Yah, Astara… as well as many sacred words: Amen, Aleyuya, Aum, Amor. “AH” is a universal sound accepted by all. The repetition of this word encourages its vibration and opening by allowing the flourishing of its qualities: love, compassion, and forgiveness. It is also the most common word used by babies when starting to communicate.

FAQ’S
Do I need to sing loudly?

I don’t need to sign for it to sound stronger or more beautiful. I don’t need to be a singer. I sing for the vibration of my voice, which is charged with the intention from my heart that heal the water of the planet and my inner waters. To sing I need to take deep breaths and sing without straining either my voice or my throat. My singing needs to be soft and comfortable, emitted in a tone suitable for my vocal cords. We can rest, drink water, and allow others to go ahead with the singing to later rejoin and allow others to rest as well.

It’s a good idea to alternate voices to keep a constant singing. Generally, everybody's voice ends up in a single tone, because the frequencies start to align. Listen to the singing around you and feel the vibration in your body.

Do I need to sing on a specific musical note?

Intention is what matters. Even so, if you can sing in FA, you will be singing at a frequency aligned with your heart’s energy.

Can I sing and play other instruments at the same time?

Our voice is the most powerful healing instrument. The invitation is to take the most of its healing and creative power. We suggest including other instruments at the end of the singing to celebrate, close the beginning, and keep on creating, leaving the initial 15 minutes only for the voices.
