Natadha

Natadha is a Sanskrit term often associated with the concept of sound vibration or resonance. It typically refers to an unstruck sound or a naturally occurring sound that resonates within the body, particularly within the subtle energy system as described in yogic and tantric traditions. The "Nata" portion often relates to movement or dance, suggesting a dynamic and flowing aspect of the sound, while "Dha" can be linked to holding or sustaining.

In some interpretations, Natadha is connected to the anahata chakra, also known as the heart chakra. It is believed that this chakra vibrates with a sound that is not created by external means but arises from within. The experience of Natadha can be a focus of meditation and can be perceived as a subtle humming or ringing within the ears or the chest.

Experiencing or recognizing Natadha is often regarded as a sign of inner harmony and a deeper connection to one's inner self. Different schools of yoga and meditation may employ varied techniques aimed at perceiving and cultivating awareness of this internal resonance. These techniques may include focused breathing exercises, mantra repetition, and attentive listening to the subtle sounds within the body.
