Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It's an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it's a way of being present in the moment.
Grace removes obstacles that we don’t even know are there. Grace is what arranges our lives so we are forced to look within.
Surrender happens by Grace. All we're doing is cleaning up the room so when Surrender walks in, He can sit down.
This is what I do to keep my head screwed on semi-straight and keep my heart open. Whenever I sing, that's why I sing. Whether it's at the Grammys, whether it's in the bathroom, whether it's in front of 10,000 people or three people, by my guru's grace, my head stays in that place.
