- Network event23 attendees from 8 groups hostingChanting HU Can Transform Your Daily LifeLink visible for attendees
Discover the HU, a mantra that can uplift people of any religion, culture, or walk of life.
Come for an inspiring experience of personal chanting and contemplation with the uplifting sound of HU, an ancient mantra, that opens the heart to the love of God. Then join in an exploration of the spiritual topics that arise from this inner focus.
“Life goes up and down. We have times when everything is going our way, but there are also times when we’re at the bottom. If we keep ourselves open to Spirit, there will be an equal balance.
“When our fortunes hit bottom, we surrender to Spirit. Then we can go back up more naturally, and we’ll maintain this rhythm of life. As life goes on around us, the detached state is that which runs right through the center; we are the balanced individual working in the Soul consciousness.
“Singing HU can help you align with this natural, holy rhythm of life.”
—Harold Klemp, The Sound of Soul, p. 32You are warmly invited to join us for this online Sound of Soul Event, “Chanting HU Can Transform Your Daily Life,” on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, 12:30 pm–1:30 pm. All are welcome!
Singing HU can bring healing for body, mind, and spirit, and align Soul with higher states of love, wisdom, and awareness.
HU is a carrier of love between God and Soul. It enables you to open your heart to experience the miracles that occur when you give and receive love.
Monica Shelmandine, the facilitator for this Sound of Soul Event, is looking forward to sharing the HU with you and exploring the heart-opening power of this sacred mantra.
