Summary: This episode is a Fresh Tracks set, but it should be called The Return of the Back Spasm … Ugh. Although it’s been going on for several weeks the spasm hasn’t been as bad this time and I learned a few things from the <a href="http://newworldkirtan.com/2015/02/mata-kali-back-spasm-warrior-goddess/" target="_blank">last one</a> — I’ll tell you about the journey in this week’s intro.<br> These week’s Fresh Tracks 31 set has great chants from great artists. I love <a href="http://devapremalmiten.com/" target="_blank">Deva Premal & Miten’s</a> ‘Cosmic Connections Live’, listening to the track featured this week took me right back to hearing them perform at <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjs0sCZ_9XOAhUIS2MKHSiuCD4QFggeMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbhaktifest.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNHLFWGLpOhWGn3AWSWjcOzPMy3iJg" target="_blank">Bhakti Fest</a>. This summer the soundtrack of my swimming & Yoga has been <a href="http://www.suzingreen.com/#mantras-promo" target="_blank">Suzin Green & Daniel Johnson’s</a> new CD ‘Mantras of the Sun Volume 2’ with guest artist <a href="http://www.ninaraochant.com/" target="_blank">Nina Rao</a>, and I’m re-featuring <a href="http://www.johannasings.com/?v=7516fd43adaa" target="_blank">Johanna Beekman’s</a> gorgeous ‘Om Shanti’ from her CD ‘Heart Beats One’ again because when I featured it the last time it was an earlier track that didn’t have <a href="http://www.shantalamusic.com/" target="_blank">Benji Wertheimer’s</a> glorious sarod. Other artists featured this week are <a href="http://www.mysticalkirtan.com/" target="_blank">Mirabai Moon</a>, <a href="http://www.devadasmusic.com/" target="_blank">Devadas</a>, <a href="http://www.shantdeep.ca/" target="_blank">Shantdeep</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Blunderfield" target="_blank">Will Blunderfield</a> & <a href="http://www.bluespiritwheel.com/" target="_blank">Blue Spirit Wheel’s</a> haunting ‘Asatoma Ma’ from their new CD ‘Planetary Alignment’.<br> Here’s the <a href="http://www.unity.org/resources/articles/prayer-protection" target="_blank">Unity</a> prayer for protection I mention in the intro this week.<br> “The light of God surrounds me; The love of God enfolds me; The power of God protects me; The presence of God watches over me. Wherever I am, God is — and all is well.”<br> Next time from the <a href="http://www.lovelightfestival.com/">Lovelight Festival</a> my friends. Until then — Namaste.<br> <br>
