Film about voice work (nada yoga) using the Vemu Mukunda method

Below is a translation of the film's text:

Welcome to Nada Yoga's wonderful course that heals even people who are insensitive to sound...

This method we will learn comes from the Vedas, is known as Nada Brahma Yoga and was developed by a late teacher named Vemu Mukunda,.

It is also partly known in the West as music therapy, but here it is based on the perception of touch rather than the perception of hearing. Since sound propagates through vibrations in our bodies as well, it was discovered that we humans are like musical instruments, i.e. it was based on the principle of resonance.

I'm going to play a note, and then I'm going to sing that sound with the SA voice; you just listen, and then you can close your eyes and feel what you feel in your navel area. (SAAAAAAAA)

while feeling that navel area, put your hand over your right ear, and with the M voice try to find the frequency of that sound myself, which I will sing. If you do Mmmmmmmmmmmm, you will feel a vibration in your skull. At some point you will feel that what is vibrating there is similar to what is happening in the navel ... Then you can change the M , to SAAAAAA ....

Now you can put your hand away from your ear and sing SA louder (SAAAAAAAAAA) - ok, voice is important, but try to get into your navel with the sound and feel what's going on there. If you seem out of tune, you will notice that your M sound will be very obviously different in relation to the sound vibrating in the room. The important thing is that instead of trying to find it again by ear, you stop and change your perception. The perception has to be primarily the sense of touch, not hearing.

We try to move away from the perception of listening, because that if someone misses the tone, they can't clearly coordinate what they heard - with what they want to sing. So we try to reproduce the sound in a different way.

There are 72 ways of climbing this ladder, and then from each of these 72 ways of climbing and descending, there are derivatives of them, which are called Janyas, so in total about a thousand ragas. But these 72 are the main ones. (SA RE SA RE)

Each has a precise effect on the state of mind, each raga is sung at a particular time of day, is associated with a particular type of prana colour, and is usually sung in certain ambient conditions that are correct for it. GA RE SA DHA PA ... PA DHA RE

If, in doing so, you fall into a train of thought or notice a complete absence of thought, let it be as it is - without rebelling and without holding back ... RE MA PAA DHA PAA
