    Sing and respect your body signals. Are you nervous when you chant? Is your voice very quiet, are you afraid to be seen or heard? Is your throat too tight? Are you chanting from your navel or from your head? Are you centered, grounded, balanced and do you respect equally the needs of your heart and the needs of your head? Are you too loud? Is your ego fighting to get in? Do you chant because you want others to hear you or because you want to become the Divine energy and you want to let the Divine flow run through you.
