Joy is prayer - Joy is strength- Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. --Mother Teresa Welcome to JOY! Music has the power to comfort, heal, inspire and unite us. When we repeat a word or phrase in song, it fills every part of who we are, resonating within the body, mind and spirit like a musical mantra or affirmation. These chants were created to be sung and shared with others as well as for your own spiritual journey. When we open to receive, remember our oneness, release what no longer serves us, and trust we are being guided and led on our perfect path, an amazing abundance of joy is waiting to fill our lives in wonderful new ways. I invite you to celebrate and live your limitless life of infinite possibilities. Sing, share and feel the joy!
