Hummee Hum Brahm Hum


This beautiful mantra, Hummee Hum Brahm Hum, means We are We, We are God. We are made from the same Purna / complete wholeness and perfection / as God. May we take refuge in that and remember to live as often as we can from that place. 

You can just listen and relax your body to feel the energy of this mantra or you can chant along. Bhakti yoga is about showing up with whatever feelings you have, sadness, longing, grief, joy, and allowing the energy of the practice to penetrate for your highest good. 

I first heard a recording of this by Siri Sadhana Kaur in my teacher, Sheryl Edsall’s yoga class. You can hear the longing in it, to call out to God, the Divine, to remember who we are and that we are all connected, all made from the light of God. 

I was moved to learn to play it to share in my yoga classes and in Kirtan which I will be giving this Sunday, Dec. 13 at 2pm on Zoom via www.highlandyoga.com The theme is... 

Remembering Our True Nature: 
From the Shadow to the Light. 

We will infuse our Kirtan with moments of EFT tapping utilizing mantras, affirmations and dharma readings to recognize and honor our individual and collective shadow and realize how it inspires our shift back to the light. 

“No mud, no lotus.”

Cost $20

Taking Refuge in the Divine, a Kirtan; plus Upcoming Level 1 Reiki Training

Taking Refuge in the Divine: 
A Kirtan with Angela Cays 
plus the musical magic of Param Joe Rosolen


This event scheduled for Sunday, March 22, 1:30-3:30pm
 was cancelled due to the pandemic. 
It was rescheduled and held via Zoom on 
Sunday, November 15, 2020 at 2pm. 

Highland Yoga, Kinnelon, NJ
Investment: $30

Join us for an afternoon of taking refuge in the vibrations of the sacred sounds of the Divine, the shared energy of our amazing community, and the embodied dharma of light and love. 


When we chant the sacred sounds of the Divine, connecting to the energies of Light and Love, we feel a holding and a comfort, which is the practice of taking refuge. We can simply celebrate the knowing and embrace of this light and love; or perhaps, we need to feel the transformation out of a darker moment or place into the light via the holding of this unconditional love. 

Angela will weave together the chanting of mantras, brief readings to highlight the dharma, and periods of meditative silence to create an afternoon of refuge, healing, and inspiration.

Reiki Training and Attunement is a beautiful, self-empowering healing practice that can be harnessed and practiced by everyone.  Reiki promotes deep relaxation, assists in the body's natural healing processes, and develops emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. 

In this training, you will learn the history of Reiki, be attuned to the Reiki energy, and learn hand positions for self-treatment and for treating others.  During the training, you will practice hands-on with your classmates.  You will also receive a comprehensive manual and ongoing support.

About Angela...
Angela Cays has been working towards transforming suffering and empowering others for decades as a high school math teacher and tutor; licensed professional counselor (LPC; and as a yoga instructor since the fall of 2006. She guides her students to reveal light and shadow, to become more fully embodied and aware of all layers of our being (koshas); to awaken intuition, life force energy (prana), and touch moments of deep peace as well as great expansion.   

Her continued education as a counselor and yoga instructor led her deeper into the subtle body through learning modules in her advanced yoga teacher training with Sheryl and Neil Edsall at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ and trainings at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA on Psychotherapy and Spirituality, as well as Psychology of the Chakras, Mind Body Integration, and Creating on Purpose with Anodea Judith.  Having a spark of curiosity about Reiki when she first started taking yoga classes, it was about 20 years later, as a continuation of studying and working with the subtle body, she received her Level I, Level II and Reiki Master attunements from her beloved teacher, Sheryl Edsall, along with the radiant Eileen Alexander.  

Angela benefits deeply from practicing Reiki for self-care in addition to sharing this healing modality with others.  Through many years of studying and teaching yoga, and receiving the Reiki attunements, she continues to develop a more heightened awareness of subtle body energy. She feels honored to hold a sacred space for healing and growth through the universal energy of Reiki, as well as her group yoga classes, workshops and kirtans, private yoga, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping sessions.
