What they are Saying …
“Zen Voyage” is a a very fine and pleasant album and I immediately started playing it in my radio show of folk, roots & world music here at Radio Voce Spazio, as you can see from the alleged playlist. Lea has a very soulful voice and surely has dones a really fine work as the arrangements are particularly subtle, even when there is some intense use of electronics, so that the music can always spread a quiet sense of peace and serenity. More songs from “Zen Voyage” will surely follow on air in the next weeks of course. In the meantime let me please thank you once again for your kind attention and wish you all the best.
Massimo Ferro – Radio Voce Spazio (Jul 27, 2007)
Not really knowing what to expect (I’m used to more traditional settings for kirtans), I was pleasantly surprised. No, not surprised actually, rather feeling comfortably welcomed with open arms and heart, providing openness in me as well. All the musicians were top top notch and blended beautifully in the chants, rather than taking over. Lea herself is very generous and obviously a great lover of however you call which makes us all unique and at the same time all the same. To give yourself to such chanting is to find yourself.

Léa est une personne magnifique et dévouée. À l’écoute des battements de votre coeur et de votre petite voix intérieure. Elle saura vous écouter et vous guider pour vous apprendre à prendre soin de votre âme et à laisser l’harmonie vous envelopper. A l’aide des mantras, des mudras et de l’énergie de notre terre Mère, elle saura vous enseigner comment la méditation peut rendre votre âme paisible et votre vie Amour….

Robert Lochmann – Radio X DJ JazzMadass (Feb 2, 2009)
Meeting Lea for the first time was enchanting. Such a beautiful vibrating energy and such a powerful voice. I personnaly can’t hold a note, but last night, I couldn’t help but sing and I sang with my hearth and I loved it!… I loved being part of the group, singing the mantras together, one voice, one heart. Namaste!

Sur cet album remarquable, la Québécoise Lea Longo présente une musique jazz aux influences de mantra. Il s’agit d’un recueil de chansons d’amour connues dont « Fever », « Here’s To Life », « The Very Thought of You » et « Love is All You Need ». Cette dernière est aussi présentée dans une deuxième version à la toute fin, un mix de Ben Leinbach. La voix sensuelle de Lea, les très belles harmonies vocales et les arrangements musicaux intégrant les choeurs et mantras indiens au coeur de la musique créent un mélange envoûtant. Évidemment, il faut un contexte bien particulier pour que la musique se mêle agréablement à l’ambiance, mais la douceur des interprétations vous séduira à tout coup.

(Bhakti Yoga, Naada Yoga)
Mantra or Yoga of Sound (Naada Yoga ) is a “musical meditative ” yoga, a musical expression of the soul. We chant “mantras” in a kirtan. It is a “yoga” of sound, where we use a call and response experience. It is not about the musical aspect but the heart aspect that leads us to a peaceful, meditative state.
Chanting ancient mantras and prayers allows us to tune our whole being, mind, body, and Spirit to the One Source, to the One God.
“Kirtan” is a Sanskrit word for group musical expression of the Divine Spirit within. Chanting together as one, we raise the level of our own vibration to a high spiritual state where we can actually feel and experience our Divine nature. Chanting is possibly the most effective means of directly experiencing our spiritual nature. It is a meditation practice…

What is Naad Yoga?
Naad Yoga is a “Sound” Yoga where we use our unique voice to connect within ourselves.The power of chant /using our voice involves bridging the two worlds of humanity and eternity. It allows a person to touch a deeper world that is organic and flowing. Chant has no set rhythm, and is based on the breath in combination with tonal patterns of sustained vowels. To create vibrations that elevate is the goal of Naad Yoga.Using mantra to create these vibrations is the highest form of self-communication.
Is Chanting easy and why do we Chant?
Chanting is an easy tool because you can chant anywhere—out loud or silently—and change your state of being. When we chant ancient, sacred and uplifting mantras that inherently have a high frequency, our tongue touches the roof of the mouth in a very specific manner.
This creates a chain reaction resulting in a change in the chemical composition of the brain. When the chemistry of the brain is balanced, our state of mind and outlook on life improves dramatically. We simply feel better.In Kundalini Yoga, we use a technology that is called Shabd Guru.
What is Shabd Guru ?
Shabd Guru is a very special sound current that uses the technology of the Naad Yoga. Therefore it is not just any sound, but a primal sound. Each primal sound is a unit that is pronounced by a particular part of the mouth. When we form a word and we speak it, we utilize the 84 meridian points on the roof of the mouth to stimulate the hypothalamus to change the chemistry of the brain. Not every combination of sounds or words will create patterns of healing or wholeness – therefore the Shabd Guru is unique.In the science of Naad, there are three key elements that enhance the experience. Rhythm, projection and pronunciation. Maintaining a precise rhythm of the mantra as well as maintaining the correct number of beats with the mantra is crucial to its effectiveness. For example, many Kundalini mantras are chanted in eight beats. Any mantra chanted with eight beats is an Ashtang Mantra. Example: RA MA DA SA- SA SAY SO HUNG – ( Siri Gaitri Mantra)

The use of Mantras for Chanting
We use mantras which are sacred texts when we chant. Mantras can excite the emotions and give suggestions to the mind and therefore bringing calm to the mind and spirit. Mantras affect both the one who sings them and the one who hears them.
The word “ mantra” comes from Sanskrit word “mantrana” which means advice or suggestion. When we chant in a private session, we work with both the body and the voice with a focus on deep breathing and relaxation exercises aimed at releasing vocal and physical tensions and explore chanting with traditional and effective techniques for improved health, vitality and projection…

More on Nada Yoga
While the modern world may be just waking up to the music healing therapy, ancient Indian scriptures have a well-documented technique called ‘nada yoga’ — or the science of utilising sound vibrations and yogic asanas (postures) to achieve ‘salvation’.According to research, nada yoga has enormous power to heal. It is believed that Indian classical music has very positive effects on human health and behaviour.“Recent studies on the subject showed that music along with yoga can heal disorders like hypertension, arthritis, problems related to upper or lower parts of the body, mental stress and tension,”
