other words to you)
sentiments common to so many “spiritual” traditions from around the world

“I bow to the Primal wisdom
I bow to the Wisdom throughout the Ages
I bow to the True Wisdom.
I bow to the great unseen Wisdom”

I first heard this beautiful “song” last November, when I found it embedded in a very special post, “Aad Guray Nameh” on TimeThief’s blog “This Time, This Space.” (thank you, thank you, TimeThief) I was deeply moved by listening to it then, and continue to feel soothed, nourished and protected when I listen to it now. Singing is special, too. I thought sharing this song with others would be a nuturing addition to “Nurturing Thursdays” from Becca’s Blog.

yes…I think it’s special… I find that sitting quietly and then singing with her can bring some deep soothing, too.

Yes, isn’t it beautiful? Sometimes, I’ll just listen to it again and again…clicking on “refresh” when it stops… it can have a rather wondrous effect.

Wow, this seemed to stir a memory deep within my soul. I will listen to it over and over. Namaste.

Yes… I feel that way too…that there is a remembering deep within. I’ve noticed that if I sit very quietly, calm the mind and then sing with her… a sense of deep “reverence” emerges, sometimes at the time, sometimes an hour or two later. I find it special.

Oh Laurie, I’m sorry you had a rough day. Listening to this a few times, and maybe singing it too, might help…that’s supposed to be some of the benefits of it…soothing, calming, protecting and letting go of concerns from/about past or potential future. Wishing you well…

Yes…. it really can fill one with such a sense of peace, love and light. I find that sitting quietly and then gently singing it, as she sings, sometimes enhances and expands that “sense” too….multiplies it. Enjoy the light…

Hi Laurie…that would be lovely if you share it…. it’s wonderful for more people to have increased awareness of and access to healing music and song. I find this one to be very special…and sometimes even “powerful.” I’m so happy that you found it special, too.
btw… the link to TimeThief’s post adds lots more good information, background and ideas… she really explained it well. link to This Time This Space http://thistimethisspace.com/2012/11/20/aad-guray-nameh/ (there are two other videos of Aad Guray Namen in that post, by other artists… you might want to listen to those, too… I especially like the Deva Premal one, too … )
