The Wise Effort Show The Power of Chanting, Bhakti Yoga and Singing from the Heart with Kirtan Artist Jai Uttal
According to Jai Uttal, singing enlivens the heart and the power of kirtan can uplift us and inspire us. Psychological science supports this sentiment with research showing that when you sing in a group it benefits your mood, reduces stress, and stimulates your vagus nerve. In this episode, Diana talks with Grammy-nominated Kirtan singer, Jai Uttal about the power of this ancient form of Bhakti yoga. Throughout the episode, you will hear Diana’s favorite songs as well as a sneak peek at Dust and Tears, Jai’s latest album.
