|
In this CD, Nubia approaches breathing techniques as a tool to develop self-knowledge and self-healing. Blending her background in Hatha and Bhakti (devotional) Yoga, Buddhist and Hindu mantras, and open-heart meditations, she reminds us that our breath can become our prayer of reconnection with the Divine. With original music by Jai Uttal and Ben Leinbach. Prana, the vital energy present in the air that we breath is what links our inner and outer environments. This same force interconnects us with all of creation...... Through our concious breath let us offer our healing light to all beings and recognize the sacred in ourselves and in all the manifested worlds. May our breath be our prayer........ |
