about

“Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and one’s desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord.” — John Cage

SA - together JA - to happen

SAHAJA is Sanskrit for spontaneous enlightenment realized through the body, on earth, in this life. Spontaneous enlightenment is awakened through various life experiences that invite us into a state of unified flow - with ourSelves, one another, nature and/or creative consciousness. While we can't predetermine when spontaneous enlightenment will arise, we can create the optimal conditions and dwell in the possibility of the moment.

SAHAJA S O U N D S integrates creative, spiritual and healing practices that help us, humans, get out of our own ways, and co-create with the spontaneous flow of consciousness moving through us. May we embrace the meandering pathways of creative process and life that are reflected in our bodies and in nature as a way of honoring the source that breathes us all.

The Flow of Creative Consciousness was recorded while improvising percussion with a Prana Vinyasa Flow yoga practice. It is one moment of a then ten year collaborative relationship - the form and content of the music is shaped by that of the movement, and vice versa. This recording is the sonic side of a two-way conversation that is whole in and of itself.

Listen for and move with the universal currents guiding your journey; they will bring you to the shore on which you find yourSelf.
