This POST of mine from way back … because I love this practice. I’ve been in love with this yogi forever. We can flow through fluidly with no words. Just chants. Love everything about this … the sounds … the vibe … the image … the chants … its meaning … the resonance that plucks the chords of our soul. So Centering to not be self-centered … lifts our spirits at troubled times. Let the feminine goddess/mom/sister energy give us the boost we need, saluting that light within.
