Two meditations with instructions for creating transformation. Waheguru Wahejio to synchronize with the Universal Flow of Light and Tantric Waheguru to awaken the soul to the Universal Flow of Light.
'Meditations for Transformation,' the new series by Snatam Kaur is a beautiful offering to the yoga community. Each CD contains 2 31-minute meditations. Within the packaging is a detailed description of the mudra to use in practicing the meditation accompanied by details of the benefits of doing the meditations. Snatam Kaur's goal in creating these products was to offer tools for her audiences to use to bring a daily practice of meditaiton into their lives.
The basic guideline for these meditations is to try them out for at least 40 days. According to Yogi Bhajan, in 40 days you will break a bad habit, in 90 days you will create a new positive habit, and by 1000 days you will experience mastery. Create a sacred space in your home where you can practice on or both of these meditations.
Snatam explored the power of sound in India. After high school, her love for the Indian musical tradition and for children took her to Miri Piri Academy, a boarding school for children in India. She spent time taking care of the young children, teaching physical education, and providing music for the children's morning and evening chanting. When she returned to the United States, she attended Mills College in Oakland, California, where she obtained a degree in biochemistry, taught yoga classes, and shared her chants with Western audiences. But India called her back. After touring and performing Kirtan in northern India, Snatam settled in Amritsar where she studied music with the accomplished ragi (Indian master of Sikh-style kirtan) Bhai Hari Singh. This was a great honor for her, and particularly meaningful because Singh was the same teacher who had taught her mother when she was just a little girl.
Snatam embraced everything that Singh taught her, from the technical aspects of the notes, to the ability to sing with presence and awareness. The lessons took place in Singh's home, where Snatam was welcomed by the entire family--daughters, sons, and grandchildren.
While in Amritsar, Snatam lived next door to the Golden Temple, considered the world's holiest Sikh temple. Sacred music resonates from inside the temple from about 2:30 in the morning to midnight every day-sounds created by world-class masters of Sikh kirtan. This enabled Snatam to continually soak in the essence of the Sound Current.
Upon returning to the US from India, Snatam began her career as a recording artist with a band called the Peace Family. She served as the band's lead singer and, with two skilled and accomplished musicians - Livtar Singh and GuruGanesha Singh, had her first opportunity to write songs. Two years later she began to develop her own sound and style and embarked on a very fruitful solo career.
