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.
