A-ON VOICE METHOD FROM JAPAN

Your own voice, your own breath.
A quiet resonance, wherever you are.

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.

Voice Method

WHAT IT IS
RESONANCE

Your own voice

Sound a long, soft “A” on a natural out-breath, and notice where it resonates, perhaps in your chest, throat, or face.

TRADITION

Rooted in “A”

In Shingon Buddhism, “A” is the sound from which all sounds begin. The practice grew out of decades of temple prayer work.

AT HOME

Start for free

The home practice needs only a quiet place and about ten minutes. No equipment is needed.
