THE 20-PAGE BOOKLET: The information booklet that comes with the CD begins with a general overview on the Yoga of Sound, which is followed by an understanding of this specific stream of sound yoga, Shabda Yoga. After this, detailed information is provided for each track.

THE MANTRAS: All of the mantras are written out for you with the exception of Track 1 and 8. These are rather complex Vedic mantras provided as a reference and as a meditation. The other mantras, from tracks 2 through 7, range from simple to complex, building up your skills in this style of sound yoga gradually. The mantras are repeated many times, so it is easy for you to chant along with the CD.
