This is a video recorded at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ. At the
center is my beloved and inspiring teacher Sheryl Edsall. She is framed
by two amazing vocalists and yoga teachers, Penni Feiner on the left
and Lillie Kae on the right. I love being in the room to soak up the vibrations when they
perform.

I bow to (or call on) the primal power.
I bow to (or call on) the all encompassing power and energy.
I bow to (or call on) that through which God creates.
I bow to (or call on) the creative power of the Kundalini, the Divine Mother Power.
More Information:
The
Adi Shakti Mantra tunes one into the frequency of the Divine Mother,
and to the primal protective, generating energy. It is said that
chanting it eliminates fears and fulfills desires.
Some quotes Yogi Bhajan gave on this mantra specifically for women:
"Merge
in the Maha Shakti. This is enough to take away your misfortune. This
will carve out of you a woman. Woman needs her own Shakti, not anybody
else will do it. When a woman chants the Kundalini Bhakti mantra, God
clears the way. This is not a religion, it is a reality. Woman is not
born to suffer, and woman needs her own power."
"When India and Indian women knew this mantra, it dwelt in the land of milk and honey."
Yogi
Bhajan taught that after conception, the soul enters into the womb of a
mother on the 120th day. This is a day of celebration and when the
soul/child is entering the womb this chant is traditional.

This is one of my favorite CD's. I have so much fun listening and chanting along in the car. It is
probably available on other sites as well, like Amazon and iTunes.
