about

This is the 4th track from Ch'Lu's Arts Council & Help Musicians funded album "The Goddess Within", due out with the album on June 9th, for Global Wellness Day.

Composed, performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Ch'Lu in her home studio, "The Goddess Within" album is a fusion of binaural field-recordings, hypnotic Sanskrit vocals, classical guitar arpeggiation and electronic soundscapes.

Using the ancient Sanskrit texts of the Mandukya Upanishads, which create the experience and journey of "Om", it is the ultimate Sound Medicine.

“Dreaming” is the experience of the second conscious state, where consciousness is turned towards the inner world.

Ch'Lu aims to transform, blending the ancient with the voice of the Zeitgeist.

lyrics

Lyrics:

svapna-sthāno’ntaḥ-prajñaḥ saptāṅga ekonavimśati-mukhaḥ
pravivikta-bhuk taijaso dvītiyaḥ pādah.

Translation:

The second aspect of Atman is the Self in the Dreaming state, Taijasa. In this second state, consciousness is turned towards the inner world. It also
operates through seven instruments and nineteen channels,
which engage the subtle objects of the mental realm.
