A-ON VOICE METHOD FROM JAPAN
A voice method based on the sound “A”, which holds a special place in Shingon Buddhism. It was devised by my teacher and father, the head priest of a Kōyasan Shingon temple. You can begin with a free home practice.
About the A-On Voice MethodMeet the practitionerSound a long, soft “A” on a natural out-breath, and notice where it resonates, perhaps in your chest, throat, or face.
In Shingon Buddhism, “A” is the sound from which all sounds begin. The practice grew out of decades of temple prayer work.
The home practice needs only a quiet place and about ten minutes. No equipment is needed.
Learn the theory and practice of using your own voice to bring calm: sound, breath, and intention. Video lessons you can take at your own pace.
