About
Lucid Bhajans are a Bristol based conscious music duo, offering traditional, original songs and mantra, shared in a kirtan style.
They formed in 2020, following a desire to reconnect community through the power of music and song. Bringing their own experiences from musical & healing practices, to create a sacred space for others to explore their true nature.
They value the power of community and music as a healing form that dates back to the start of time.
Singing in a group reconnects us to the sacred space that exists within us all. It is in that peaceful limitless space that we all meet as one.
“A Mantra is a sacred sound, that when repeated becomes an ‘instrument of the mind’, helping to bring the mind back in to stillness. Each mantra, often in sanskrit, holds a deeper meaning & myth. When sang as a Bhajan (devotional song) with melody, we can use mantra & melody to call upon something higher than the self for transformation of our minds, body & spirit. Singing Bhajans together is known as Kirtan, a practice where music and meditation are united by chanting age old mantras to a communal rhythm, singing in call & response. ”
