The Goddess Within by Ch'Lu published on 2023-03-17T09:10:23Z First live performance from the album: https://youtu.be/7diU2SRLzhs This album was made possible with generous grants from the Arts Council of England and Help Musicians UK. Composed, performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Ch'Lu in her home studio, this immersive, expansive & uplifting album is a fusion of binaural field-recordings, hypnotic Sanskrit vocals, classical guitar arpeggiation and underscored electronic soundscapes. The Goddess Within uses the ancient Sanskrit texts of the Mandukya Upanishads, which creates the experience and journey of "Aum ( known as “Om”) - the vibration of the universe and all things living. It is the ultimate vibrational healing or Sound Medicine, returning the nervous system to a place of fullest potential, releasing stress, toxins and negativity, free from the control of the mind. (Meaning you can be skeptical and it will still be effective!). Listening to Sanskrit will align every cell of your body with that of the universe, simultaneously healing, grounding and invigorating you. "The Goddess Within" is an album to relax and wind-down to which will also leave you feeling more inspired and consciously aware. A polyglot polymath, Ch’Lu has been studying Sanskrit for the last thirteen years, alongside her teaching and practice of Vedic meditation, which fuels her drive to expand consciousness through creativity and performance. Indeed the name Ch’Lu itself is derived from Sanskrit, given to Ch’Lu by her Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) mentor; her artistic direction is intuited by the energy of “Ch’Lu”. Sanskrit is arguably the first language in existence, and also the one most suited to computers; hence NASA have been using the power of Sanskrit to communicate with new forms of life for decades. Indeed this aligns perfectly with Ch’Lu’s creative vision to fuse the ancient with the voice of the Zeitgeist, to transmit the healing and calming vibrations of Sanskrit and other beautiful languages to a wider and contemporary audience in a unique and engaging way. Why can’t Sanskrit be on the radio and in nightclubs so everyone can have access? Watch this space. As ninja warrior and artist, Ch’Lu wants to entertain you into feeling less alone, anxious or stressed and more like the best version of yourself: connected, fulfilled and eager to get out of bed each day.
