About this Project:

Since the first time I sang the Aquarian Sadhana Mantras, I felt their power and healing ripple through my body and spirit. They penetrated through my subconscious mind, they have gently and gradually restructured old habits and patterns into greater and greater love and light, into life promoting ways of being.

Almost immediately, I felt Spirit and inspiration move me to chant the mantras to new melodies that came from the core of my heart. I've grown with these melodies, these mantras, powerful vehicles of Naad (Sacred Sound Current). I have so much reverence and gratitude towards them.

One early morning in February of 2015, at a Kundalini Yoga teacher training, I shared these mantra melodies at a morning group Sadhana in Skálholt Cathedral in South Iceland. We all felt the presence of the divine, like a spiralling column of light in the middle of the church. From that day on, every time I'd chant the mantras in this way, I would be transported back to that powerful morning. Feeling the connection of these mantras with this church, I decided to return to it to record this album.

In March of 2019, I came back to the church, now with Icelandic producer Arnar Guðjónsson, who set up a world of recording equipment to capture the magic of the space. I also brought Miquel Such, a videographer from Spain, because for me, this was not only about the sound, but also the experience of being there, being in a divine space within and around.

We took the audio and video home and started to sit with it, listening, watching, meditating and finally creating more out of it. We added layers and elements that worked with and augmented the sacred experience of making this music.

In July of 2019, we released the single Rise Up from these recordings and soon after a stunning video by Miquel followed. Rise Up is the beloved wake-up song by Guru Singh, that now for 51 years he has sang every morning at the Summer Solstice Sadhana Celebration in New Mexico, to help us get going in the very early morning hours. I found it very appropriate to release this cover song as my first single and as the precursor to this album. In these times, it is time to rise up, not only literally rising up earlier to meditate, but also to wake up and rise up and show up to the reality we live in. To wake up from our patterns of ecologically destructive consumerism and denial about the regression of our Planet's ability to support Life, rise up to dissolve violence and inequality and become warriors of Love.

Finally, I gathered some incredible musicians who are super-human-kindness explosions, to add their divine element to the music. I brought in my amazing, loving husband, Oshri Hakak, who plays the etheric English Horn and Duduk, my dear soul-brother Daniel Jai Jot Higuera laying down the rhythm with his phenomenal percussion playing, the talented and heart-expanding Árni Heiðar Karlsson moving around the piano in his unique and jazzy, flowing way. Lastly, my producer/mixer Arnar Guðjónsson brought his absolutely other-worldly touch through guitar, bass, synth and many more instruments and creative inputs. I'm so extremely honored to know and to have been able to work with these men who have my deepest gratitude.

So here we are. The process of creating my first album is almost at its end. I am so happy and warmed by this ability to share and look forward to seeing it grow after its release into the Universe.

Going right ahead with completion of this project, the digital release of the album will be in December. We will be celebrating the release with the Kundalini Yoga community at the Winter Solstice Sadhana Celebration in Florida, with an evening concert on the 17th of December. The release of the physical CD’s will come soon after the digital release.

What an amazing journey this has been. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Universal Force of Love and Light! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Sacred Sound Current for your Healing and Life giving Vibration. And last but not least, Thank You, Thank You , Thank You, YOU, for your support and for being this Unique Expression of Light and Love in the Universe.
