If you’re a podcast listener, you know that I work as a voiceover actress.  I like to sing to warm up my voice before I start work, and this week I’ve been using the creativity chant from Deva Premal’s “Mantras for Precarious Times“.  It’s just the right length for a short meditation, and I love the feeling of deep grounding afterward.  Being free & calm does help with creativity, and my voice is  much more able to do justice to a script after singing for eight minutes.  Singing is such a direct link to the soul for me, perhaps for you too?

More new music this week!  Enjoy.

Om Dattatreya

Three-headed Dattatreya integrates Brahma (creation), Vishnu (sustenance) & Shiva (destruction) within one form.   The chant represents the life of Shirdi Sai Baba, a Shiva incarnation who transformed into a Dattatreya incarnation, using the powers of Divine Love, Freedom & Creation.

From Michael Cohen “Om Dattatreya”
