MY SOUL

Mantra album for yoga & meditation

mantra album

Together with musician and composer Fred Westra I created a Mantra Album for yoga & meditation. Healing music to sing or listen to and above all to help you find your inner peace and go deep inside, to the soul. Feeding the soul is essential, music and singing, just like yoga and meditation does!

With this mantra album I hope to touch and feed your soul✨.

Why?

My passion has always been dance and music and since I can remember I like to sing a tune. At the age of 18 I was accepted at the Amsterdam School of the Arts. There I finished my dance education with great pleasure. Musicals mainly drew me because of the three disciplines: dance, singing and acting.

While admiring the musical Chicago in New York, I knew deep down in my heart: this is what I want!
And so it happened, I took singing lessons and when the musical came to the Netherlands I auditioned and was accepted for my favorite role of June!

I still look back with love to this period. Singing is like dancing, it comes from within and belongs to me. Through dance and singing I can express how I feel and I would like to share this with you.
The collaboration with Fred Westra went above organic. Often we came together in the studio without preparation and the music and lyrics came from our feelings.
It’s magical to feel this in order to create something beautiful together.

Mantra's?

What are mantras? A mantra is a poem, word, pronunciation or syllable that is midway between a spell with magical effect and a prayer. In some cases it is repeated and is meant as a continuous recitation (chant). According to many it is a combination of the Sanskrit words manasah (spirit) and tra (liberation through control of that spirit).

The mantra is meant to keep the attention away from ourselves and in this way to get rid of our thoughts and worries.

EXPLANATION AND USE OF
THE MANTRAS

Gayatri – 7.14 min

Gâyatrî is a mantra entirely dedicated to Light. It describes the three main domains where Light works: knowledge, meditation and prayer. By connecting with Light you are, as it were, lifted out of the darkness that you can encounter in life in so many forms: selfishness, fear, the feeling of ‘deficiency’, anger, hatred, intolerance, etc. Instead of trying to fight against these forms of darkness, it is wiser to connect the mind with Light through meditation/chanting. Daily meditation at the Gâyatrî, even for a short moment, is already very helpful and effective.

Remember – 9.17 min
This mantra helps you remember who you really are……….LIVE ! Put your hands on your heart sitting or lying down and let yourself be carried away by the sounds. Remember….who are you?…..Remember….you are…..Love.

To Namah Shivaya – 6.46 min
Shiva the destructive. Everything that has ever been created remains for a while and then disappears again. With its destructive power Shiva makes room for new ideas and new aspects in your life. So if you have trouble letting go, sing along repeatedly and trust that the old letting go will help you get a step further in life. Change is scary but one thing is certain in life, everything comes and goes..

Lokah Samastha – 4.45 min
This mantra means: “May all beings be happy. May all my thoughts, words and actions
“Every day we can sing this mantra for world peace. Let us unite in this pure intention for peace and happiness of all beings in all worlds.

The Sweetest Lullaby – 8.04 min
The mantra in this piece of music is humming. A kind of reverie and giving security to yourself or someone else. Hence the name: The Sweetest Lullaby. Cradle yourself in peace and quiet and find contentment in yourself.

My Soul – 4.47 min
This song came out of my heart in 10 minutes. I wrote the words down naturally because they came from deep down, from my soul. Your soul will help you stay on your path, close to your heart. Your soul will always make you feel freedom. Sing along at the top of your voice and discover what your soul has to tell you!

Om Mani Padme Hum – 7.53 min
This is one of the most recited mantras in Buddhism. The literal translation: Om = the universal cosmic energy / Mani = the jewel / Padmé = lotus flower / Hum = refers to the energy of compassion, compassion and unconditional love that stems from it. In other words, by reciting or repeating this mantra you come closer to the happiness that is hidden in each one (the jewel). No matter how deep you are, you can always return to your core and that is love. That is where happiness is. The lotus flower is a symbol of the flower that blooms out of the mud beautifully in its full potency. This also applies to humans.

Let’s Dive Deep Together – 19.13 min

These angelic sounds take you deeper and deeper into relaxation. This song is very suitable to play during Savasana at the end of the yoga class. Or if you want to experience a deep relaxation for example before going to sleep. Or of course to enjoy while staring outside with a cup of tea and just wanting to be…… 😉
