Spirit Voyage

Dear friends,

It is said in the yogic teachings that the most effective time to meditate is between the hours of 3:00 and 6:00 a.m. They are known as the ambrosial hours. It is when the channels are the clearest and worldly distractions are at their lowest ebb. For me, staying awake is the first priority. So, to keep ourselves, and others awake we have developed some fairly up-tempo chanting. I apologize for those who like slower music at that time of the morning.

Yogi Bhajan has said that chanting is most effective when it reflects your mood. When one is happy, chant happy. When angry, chant angry, and so on. When I am playing and singing this music with my friends I am feeling, Wow! Sadhana rocks!
