nourishing song

When I was a student with the Center for Action and Contemplation's Living School, one of the highlights was a week-long retreat in Albuquerque with Fr. Richard Rohr and a group of fellow students.

During that week we sang and danced to devotional music across many mystical and spiritual traditions. My favorite song was the Hindu devotional song "Om Shivay Hari Om Shivay" sung by the famous musician Jagjit Singh.

It feels like it's carrying a special kind of energetic medicine for our world right now, and I listen to it and dance to it often because it's so nourishing. 

Do you have any songs that feel like this for you right now? I'd love to hear. 

With care,
Brianna

P.S. And a powerful devotional chant from Quaker musician Paulette Meier about containing yourself within and trusting your inner light and not being scrambled/pulled in all the directions.
