Received on the morning of the Fall Equinox of 2021 at sunrise. A hauntingly beautiful layer song! 

Lyrics:

Part 1: 
Honoring the darkness,
Honoring the light, 
Honoring the day, 
Honoring the night. 

Part 2:
All things find their way 
into balance

Part 3:
Suspended in time

Part 4: 
Shadows and light

Part 5:
Suspended in time

Equinox Blessing (Shadows and Light) - Heather Houston - All Parts

How many times have we made up stories and ran with them, only to find out that they were untrue? Anyone? Okay, maybe it's just me, and oh boy have I worked myself into some agony, some anxiety, some fear, some disbelief! I get better at catching myself sooner as I grow more hairs of wisdom on my head. And this song really helps.  :)

This is a super fun and easy quick teach! 

Lyrics:

Part 1
You don't till you know
so don't run and go
making up
any stories

Part 2
No, you don't know 
till you know,
you know? 

Part 3
You don't know 
if it's true
you know?

You Don’t Know Till You Know - Heather Houston, All Parts

Offered in utter devotion to our Mother Waters. This one poured through me as I knelt down at the banks the Tuolumne River to express my gratitude. To be sung with reverence and devotion. 

Lyrics:

Oh Mother Waters
Thank you for your healing song
Oh Mother Waters
Here I know 
that I belong

Mother Waters - Heather Houston, All Parts

Something deep within you is awakening
Let it wake
Let it wake

Sarah Lockwood's Album

Something Deep Within You

A beautiful reminder to tune INTO our voices - pure enjoyment, pure bliss, pure pleasure. 

Lyrics:
Easy does it now
Slow it down
Feel the sound
As you breathe, sing, freely now
Tune, croon, swoon...

Jewels

Sacred Vessel by Heather Houston

A love song to the body temple, and a prayer that we all may treat our bodies as the sacred vessels they are. The healing wisdom lies within. 

My body is a sacred vessel
That cycles with the stars and the moon
My body is a sacred vessel
Her rhythm is always in tune
And I cherish who she is becoming
And I listen to the wisdom she brings
I love her as she is I this moment
I am lifted as she sings.

My body is a sacred vessel
That sheds my tears
And embraces the rain
My body is a sacred vessel
There is wisdom in her pain
And I honor her in her fullest expression
I'm opening to all that she feels
And I am thankful for the journey we’re sharing
I am lifted as she heals

My body is a sacred vessel
That holds my heart
And frees my soul
My body is a sacred vessel
Her every need I come to know
And I treat her with compassion and kindness
And I hold her close and remove all her sheathes
I invite her to dance with grace and devotion
I am lifted as she breathes

Sacred Vessel by Heather Houston - All parts

Another a song for these covid times... we are transforming before our own eyes... let's stay awake, do the deep work, have the hard conversations, activate, dream, imagine, vision and create the world we want to live in. 

Lyrics: 
We are creating the world we wanna see
We are creating the world we wanna see
We are creating the world we wanna be
We're calling ourselves to believe
We're calling ourselves to be free

Prayers for the Water

Chant to Oshun (feat. Todd Boston & Jami Sieber) - Key of C

This song was inspired by an AMA with Charles Eisenstein. The conversation centered around the polarization that can occur when two or more people have differing opinions. Sometimes, rather than staying open to another's point of view, we will hold our ground in a position of "rightness," making the other person "wrong," sometimes so much so that we will tear the other apart in our minds, in our hearts, in our voices. 

We see this both on the micro level in our most intimate relationships, and on the macro level in our social / political systems. What if we had the courage to stay open and curious, not making another person wrong for their beliefs or ideals? What if we are not really separate? What if that sense of separation is an illusion? 

I am grateful that Charles has the courage to put himself out there as a shining example of how we can transcend the illusion of separation by staying open and curious with each other even in the face of massive disagreement, and all the complexities of this being human. 

I was inspired to watch / listen to this AMA because it breaks my heart to feel such polarization - especially around anything pandemic related. I have dear ones on all sides of all the issues, and I've been witness to friendships being torn apart over it. Just heartbreaking. 

"Out beyond the ideas of right and wrong doing, there is a field, I'll meet you there" - Rumi

Lyrics: 

Part 1
Stay open and curious,
receptive, 
cause all of us have a voice. 

Part 2
Holding all the complexities
of this being human.
Yes we are human.

Part 3
I've got room for you.
Do you have room for me? 
Room for me? 

Part 4
We've all been wounded,
And we're doing our best. 
We're doing our best.
