Abundance in ALL forms is our natural state!
This profound mantra practice is not taught at other Heart of Sound retreats or teacher trainings. It can close the gap between "you" and the dynamic life-force of nature itself, the source and substance of all abundance. The pulse behind these particular mantric sounds can be considered the very essence of tantric non-duality. Make no mistake... this practice a doorway into embodied mastery; the key is your own sincere engagement.
"AMAZING meditations!! From day one I have felt changes in my body especially, but my energy level has significantly risen, my definition of abundance is already changing and every morning when I wake up so far, I feel such a deep level of gratitude, peace, excitement for what’s to come in my life, etc. So awesome! Can’t wait to share with the others!"

Why Now?
It's time. Frankly, I am always amazed to hear from my students and clients that abundance is an obstacle for them. Not enough money. Not enough time. Not enough trust. Not enough connection. Not enough vitality. Lack of one thing or the other is the most common excuse I hear for not following the voice of the heart, and is a persistent obstacle even among the most dedicated, long-time seekers.
I know of no more effective means of literally rewiring the brain to its natural state of connection and flow than Sanskrit mantra. It helps transmute stubborn habits and harmonize people into their higher potential. This particular practice closes the gap, steadily and sweetly, between fullness within and fullness outside! It helped turn me from a seeker to a finder.
With a consistent practice, you may experience:
- A sense of overflowing inner fullness that is not dependent on external, transient factors
- Enough abundance to express your purpose and share with others the way you want to
- Ease in relationships ~ current, past, and future
- Vibrant health, strength, energy, and vigor
- Overflowing knowledge, insight, and understanding
- Success in aligned endeavors

"The chanting practice has completely changed my relationship to money and my personal resources like time allocation and energy. I used to barely scrape by, but after putting in 6 months of dedicated chanting, last week I was even talking about buying in investment property! Also, I have all of these awesome projects, workshops and clients falling at my feet and I’m putting no effort into that side of my life. I am really, really grateful for the flow of life and for your contributions to that, Anandra!"

Your Instructor
Anandra (Heart of Sound Founder) offers the primary course content in the many instructional videos and hosts the periodic live Q&A calls.
She has been doing this mantra as her personal practice on and off for over 10 years and has taken hundreds of people through a 40-day process with this mantra.
From Anandra:
"As this practice continues to ripen within me, I am humbled and awed by the flow of benevolent revealing and concealing grace on a daily basis. The magnificent play of love of creator as creation astounds me. While I happily concede that the more I know, the more I know I don't know, I am grateful to share an intimate practice with you. It's a glimpse into that primal love dance that I experience as the source of abundance in all forms."

Very Important Clarification:
This 40-day program is not about doing mantras to get what you want. There are plenty of YouTube gurus who teach that route if that’s what you’re interested in. In other words, for those of you familiar with the Ayurvedic terminology, it is not the rājasic use of mantra, it’s a sāttvic approach. It IS about practicing mantra to harmonize your whole being with your true and natural state which can be described as consciousness, bliss, and infinite potential. Our group is focused on integrating True Self at every level. We’ll practice repeatedly energizing the Truth embodied in the mantric sounds, which harmonizes our being at a causal level. Our intention is to attune with that exact frequency of abundance that serves our highest life purpose…not more, not less. In Ayurvedic terms, it is a sāttvic immersion in the mantra.
