Songs of the Stars: Learn your birth rāga

Jyotishical Upaya of Raga and Nakshatras

Learn about and experience using a rāga (song) as a jyotiṣical upāya, or an astrological remedy. Allison has been researching nakṣatras (stars) and their connection to specific rāgas since 2015 and has found this remedy to be of great benefit to herself and her students. You will need to provide Allison with your birth date, place, and exact time.

In the temples of South India, rāgas sculpted on pillars identify their relationship to specific constellations called nakṣatras. The healing potential of a rāga is dependent on the presence of correct śruti’s, the specific microtones in between notes. The most important aspect of the practice is listening well. It is a meditation practice with sound.

This method of interfacing rāgas with a person’s natal birth chart comes from Allison’s nāda yoga mentor and sarod maestro K. Sridhar who descends from 20 generations of Jyotishi’s and 14 generations of temple musicians on his mother’s side. Allison is most grateful to K. Sridhar for his love and blessings.

$400 includes:

2 one hour sessions
detailed info about your birth star including the deity and symbology
learning about the significance of the moon in your birth chart
a curated listening practice
learning the scale of the rāga
exercises for developing a relationship with the rāga

Music lessons

Harmonium, Kirtan, and Sanskrit Pronunciation

Depending on your goals we can focus on:

Help you build your repertoire of kirtan chants and bhajans
Inspire you to write your own chants inside of Indian scales
Work on a specific song you love that you need help figuring out how to play on the harmonium

Attending Allison's introductory course "An Ocean of Sound" will give you loads of information and specific instruction on how to read the musical charts and how to work with a metronome. You'll also get access to the Music Library with video tutorials on how to play over 80 chants on the harmonium.
