Discover how singing HU can transform your life.
HU is a sacred mantra known as the Sound of Soul. This special Sound of Soul event begins with the opportunity to join others of like heart in a 12-minute HU chant followed by a short contemplation. A facilitator will then lead an open discussion on the spiritual topics that arise after singing HU. The conversation may include some focus on techniques to unlock God’s blessings with the expanded consciousness that occurs when the sound of HU opens your heart.
“Singing HU each day can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself and why things happen the way they do in your life. It carefully opens your awareness to new viewpoints and attitudes. Anyone can work with HU regardless of age, background, or religion.
“HU, the most beautiful prayer, is a gift to the world.”
—Harold Klemp, HU, the Most Beautiful Prayer, pp. viii-ix
