My first solo project – “ALAYA-NAM” was a joy, blessing, curious and stimulating growth process for me. The greatest learning in the gifting of my album to myself and now to you is HEALING. Healing the patriarchy, the matriarchy, the power struggles, the wounds of the past, relationships, losses and all that life has thrown at me. It has brought me into the present and taught me Love and Forgiveness. Each time I listen to the music, I feel relaxed, moved opened. I also feel “cleaned” out – like I had just had a shower – except in this case an “energetic” one. I pray you all will feel the same. And when you do, those feelings which emanate within you will be so strong and meaningful that you will want to share it with everyone. My desire is not for fame, power or glory. My wish is for healing, of myself, you and all beings and the planet. This is a very exciting time for those in growth and consciousness work. We do not have a moment to lose. Each second counts. Each minute is a precious gift. Keep the faith within, keep mindful on the breath, and let love, joy, bounty and awareness shine within and without you.

Music, singing, yoga and a deep interest in changing consciousness have been the threads running through Mohini’s life and soul from a very early age. Her journey from the performance stage and classical singing to chanting and sounding through yoga and meditation, has slowly unfolded, revealing depth, originality and wisdom of deep, natural and spontaneous sound and movement. She believes that Sound and Yoga coupled with a deep interest in Self-Inquiry through various Yogic, Buddhist, Taoist traditions and Humanistic Psychotherapy which she weaves into her practice and teaching, have the power to heal deep wounds and move us into a fresh new vision of ourselves. She encompasses her diverse and rich ancestral heritage from India and Egypt into her singing, which is powerful, uplifting and unique.Her emerging musical and singing style is vibrantly eclectic, breathing and expressing in its own way, creating sound-scapes which have their own identity and trajectory.

Mohini has worked and studied both with yoga and singing and voice teachers of international calibre and reputation, notably, Clive Sheridan, Erich Schiffmann and Sarah Powers (yoga and meditation) Chloe Goodchild, Gilles Petit and Norman Welsby (chanting, movement and opera). Her reputation is international and she is a skilled and innovative workshop leader and trainer, writer, teacher and singer. Her interest is in bridging the gap between Eastern and Western spirituality and psychotherapy through her music and yoga practices.
