In this teaching excerpt, Michaela Boehm talks about women's practice, the many expressions and possibilities of a woman's body, and the unique challenges facing women today.

What is women’s practice?
Women’s practices vs feminine practices
Accessing the archetypal wisdom of women 
Unlocking our full range of expression 
Integrating our inner masculine and feminine elements 
The effect of office work on a woman’s body
Reversing the harmful energy flow of stress and trauma
Relaxation, sensitization, and responsiveness in a woman’s body

I needed a sample of my new Brazilian G Major Carbon Fiber Flute for my website so I connected with Steve Ouimette who created the track. This was my first take, played in Am. It was a fun song.

Ta-iho Chiku was the Japanese name of the bamboo I use. This deeper model is a new flute for us, inspired by the ancient Japanese Koto scale. Music seems to tell a story and in my mind it felt like our Japanese flutemaking bamboo was deciding to leave Japan. It did, and settled in Florida in the 1880's and made me a flutemaker. Felt like the music was it's thinking about going and being willing never to return. But some of our customers are in Japan and the bamboo made the trip back home, a happy ending!

My Lama's Eyes... with Low D Andean Panpipe

I offer this chant as a powerful practice of presencing. In the dark, difficult, and uncertain times, one of the most powerful tools I’ve found is to chant mantra. Mantra, that which protects the mind, helps us to enter into a one-pointed concentration, thus quieting the looping stories and the fears.

Choose one part and stick to it throughout, and notice how you feel afterward. This is also a beautiful one to sing with a large group of people.

Hamsa so hum translates as “I Am That” in Sanskrit. In Vedic philosophy, it means identifying oneself with the universe or ultimate reality. The Soham mantra has been called the universal mantra because of the fact that its vibration is already a part of the breath, and everybody breathes. Sooooo… is the sound of inhalation, and Hummmm… is the sound of exhalation.

Hamsa means white swan. The swan, of course, is an ancient symbol of spiritual grace and purity. The mantra is called White Swan because when the in-breath and out-breath are freed and purified, they are like the wings of a swan helping our spirits to soar. The Hamsa mantra helps us find the grace within and carries us beyond our limited concepts.

Lyrics:

Hamsa so hum, hamsa so hum

I am that I am that I am, I am that I am that I am

So hum, so hum, so hum, so hum

I am this breath, I am this voice

I am a bird of light, I am a bird in flight

I have had the joy of making bamboo flutes for 49 years and have handmade over 150,000 wind instruments. It has been an adventure making flutes in Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, Brazil, Hawaii, Costa Rica and Fiji, where I got to play for their President. May my music bring you peace and joy.
