Intoning my mantra while playing the M1 Shruti Box (
available here) has helped me to slow down, to breathe more fully and to bring my focus to sacred sounds in a more profound way. I feel I am embodying the mantra on a deeper level. The sounds are rich, pure and energizing.
I showed the M1 Shruti Box to a musician friend and his comment was, "Wow, this is the Rolls Royce of Shruti Boxes. It makes mine look like a used VW."
I have also improvised when playing the M1 Shruti Box and it provides a steady ground so my voice can soar. I highly recommend this to musicians, sound healers and anyone who has a sacred music practice.
