Gayatri by Angela Winter

“Hypnotic.” —Lost and Found Sounds, 104.7 FM, NSW, Australia

+++

“Gayatri” is my first recorded sonic essence* for public release. Given the times we are collectively living through, love moves me to offer it.

The venerable Gayatri mantra is a meditation on spiritual light. It is considered to be the essence of all mantras; its purpose is to uplift human consciousness.

The base of “Gayatri” is a field recording of me chanting 108 repetitions of the long form of the Gayatri mantra during a dawn chorus outside my home in Carrboro, North Carolina. I transformed this recording into a shining, ambient soundscape suitable for playing during meditation, yoga, bodywork, quiet work, cloud-watching, daydreaming, stargazing, gardening, contemplation, and/or slipping into other worlds.

Each time you play “Gayatri,” you are helping uplift all of human consciousness.

We need this urgently and now.

Please play this often and share it with your people.

With gratitude and love,
Angela

* A sonic essence is a blend of ritual, mantra, and vibrational support for the incredible transitions and times we are living through. In 2019, I had the idea to treat my own body as the final distillation medium for flower essences I had created during key astrological gateways of the year. I realized I could deliver these tinctures sonically, and I named the resulting audio tracks "sonic essences." Since then, I've been creating sonic essences privately for individuals and for myself, and I recently debuted them during live performances. They’re powerful and beneficial for a variety of purposes.

"Gayatri" includes two flower essences I created: SPELLBREAKER (breaks pattern of self-absorption, relaxes the brain and balances the left and right hemispheres, opens deeper forms of meditation, eases insomnia, awakens true power through surrender to the divine) and NEXT WORLD (strong energy of change, adapt and endure, overcome and learn from the past, embrace the new, awakens confidence, draw upon greater power, stimulates creativity and dreams).

“O Self-effulgent Light that has given birth to all the lokas [spheres of consciousness], who is worthy of worship and appears through the orbit of the Sun, illumine our intellect.”

“I cannot recommend [the Gayatri mantra] highly enough. The prana becomes energized. The light in the aura becomes brighter and brighter. A beneficial energy comes through you that is helpful to everyone….An ineffable quiet begins to permeate the mind.” —Thomas Ashley-Farrand, Healing Mantras
