Wah!, the musician and seeker, set out to create a CD perfect for savasana, the practice of deep relaxation which often is done at the end of yoga class.

She created the music in the studio by simply being in the moment, beginning with only four mantras representing four deities she wished to meditate on. All tracks were recorded in one take with no preparation or rehearsal.

"I did it this way to make the moment real; there was no going back; no doing over.... It was a reckless approach, but it somehow created an environment of acceptance, a feeling that everything offered in that moment in the studio was perfect and divine."
