OneHUM was not made to entertain. It was made to open. To open the heart. To open the body. To open a doorway to Divine stillness. Listen deeply. See what happens.

I offer you Gayatri, released today, the mother of all mantras. A sacred sound of Divinity, spiritual awakening, and deep devotion. Soothing and empowering, calming and transformative, this mantra carries the frequency of protection, illumination, and profound peace.

I first received this mantra in a beautiful form - The Protection, Divine Mother of All Mantras - when I was pregnant with my son. It was a moment of deep initiation, the beginning of my path to writing, singing, and sharing mantra as a force of healing - for myself, for others, and for the whole universe.

May this offering meet you where you are, wrapping you in its resonance, bringing healing, power, and deep peace.

Gayatri is on most musical platforms - best of all Bandcamp. https://lauramitchellsings.bandcamp.com/track/gayatri-2

For as long as I can remember I have always looked in the mirror and found fault with my size or shape, even when I extremely ill and a size 8.
Recently I was discussing weight and whether it is important in a relationship with a wonderful man friend and I said that I would not take another partner if they could not love me exactly as I am now, because right now I am at my fullest, and I am also at my loveliest and most peaceful. At the moment this is my form and it has seen me through rock bottom (scuse the unintentional bum-pun) and I am happy.
I also know that in the past I have been loved/preyed upon for my physique amongst other things and I want to know that I am loved for all of me now, whether more cuddly or not, for every bit, to be wholly loved.
I have spent so long cultivating and find loving kindness in myself, finding lasting and permanent peace, and finding true love inside of me that I know that when my partner does show up he will be one who sees me, all of me, and loves me.
DO I have the yoga practice of 20 or 30 year old Laura? No!
Do I Have deep gratitude for my body and all of its amazing abilities? Yes
Could I be doing more to exercise, trim up? No! I am loving me in many ways at the moment.
Am I listening to it and giving it what it needs as much as possible? Yes, and my practices have changed an shifted to suite my body life rhythms.

My question’s to you are:
Have your spiritual and daily practices shifted in alliance with who you are now, or are you holding yourself accountable to a younger or different version of you?
What has shifted for you in order to embrace your inner and outer changes with ease and grace?
Have you upgraded your practices what do you do they look like now?
Are you needing a new way to practice and relate to your inner and outer world?

I was out in the garden this morning at 4am, it was a stunning sunrise. I love this time of morning, the quiet stillness and the ever present Hum of the universe.
I like to sit underneath the Magic tree and breath in the rich colours and hues. I am always astounded at the beauty and depth of colourful life…oh and the scents.
At some moment which I can never pin point I fall into deep meditation which for me is more refreshing than sleep, expansive awareness, the comforting hum, it is bliss.
I believed my mind when it tricked me into thinking I was bored with meditation recently, and I’m very grateful that I changed location and tricked it back!
There is nothing like it, well that’s not true, Ta***ic union is exquisite bliss too.
It got me to imagining later in the morning as I was making breakfast, not for the first time, what the world would look and feel like if every single person had an experience of this level of deep peace inside of them which they could tap into reliably every morning. That made my heart beam. If everyone had the opportunity to feel this peace and ‘oneness’ it would be possible for us to cultivate a world rooted in understanding and kindness… not to mention the L word.
Can you imagine what that would feel like?
I can.

Did you know that the shapes that we make with our face, tongue, jaw and muscles has a huge effect on the sound and quality of the sound that our voices makes? They are not the only areas that contribute but Sometimes with just the smallest shift or awareness our voices can go from limited to liberated.

How do you feel about your voice?

Starting over isn't easy.

That's a lesson I learned the hard way- after a freak stage accident left me unable to sing (or even walk,) I knew that it would take hard work to come back to myself.

I also knew that I was more than capable.

Through Voice Medicine, I healed myself from within.

The thing I love, that I thought was taken from me forever, was actually the key to my recovery.

Funny how these things work, isn't it?

I realised that I could combine my musicality with my healing skills to help others find and use their voices, revitalise their cells, and achieve self-actualisation.

Sometimes what we see as earth-shattering setbacks are actually our path forward.

I see you.

Have you ever noticed how when you are happy with a smile that beams light rays from your face, the response around you is by and large a reflection of that loving and joyful vibration, and if its not then it doesn't tend to effect you.
Equally, have you noticed that when are angry you tend to see this anger mirrored around you.

I hear so many stories of people have been told that they can’t sing, or shouldn’t sing…and many variations upon this theme most commonly in their formative years. The effect of one persons comment like this can leave a lasting scar and in some cases permanent muting of a voice.
Not everyone’s parents sing to them, not every person is encouraged to use their voice, not everyone has the or had the opportunity to sing or learn how to.
If you to learn a new skill you usually have to be a bit crap at it first whilst your body learns what needs to be done to become efficient at it. The same goes for singing, especially if you have a level of fear, anxiety or trauma around it. It takes time and it’s well worth that time because singing IS not only really great fun but also (most importantly) medicinal fun.
IF this is you - take a deep breath, decide if you want to sing and then feel the fear and do it anyway, I’m here to help if you need.

Little and often...
I used to give myself a ridiculously hard time because my practice was nowhere near what it used to be before I had my accident and then became a mama a few years later. And even before the accident I also used to dwell upon a period in time when I was not ‘my best’ self and did some very awful choices.
I’m mentioning this because for so many years I took myself, my spiritual practice and pretty much my whole life and everything in it extremely seriously and personally. I held myself (internally) to such high standards that when I let slip it led to a spiralling decline for a few years., and I was not letting up on myself inside.
I have no idea if this was perceivable from the outside but my word I was hard on myself inside.
Unfortunately it being hard on myself really didn’t make it any better. When I did my personal practice I didn’t enjoy it because I didn’t feel worthy to be doing such a beautiful practices. When I didn’t practice well, then I would just be mean to myself about being a terrible student and teacher!

One day, I woke up. I was a single mum, opera career gone to dust, I was tired and a bit chubby, and I internally gave up.

I gave up needing to be anything
I gave up everything apart from my son’s and my own peace and happiness.

I have a visceral memory of this. I laid in bed hugging my asleep and snuffling son. And I Said the Gayatri Mantra over and over again, feeling it in my heart, feeling my love and peace being sparked again, a tiny flame, inside of my heart.
I had left all intimate relationships with men behind, I had distanced myself from most people and on this day I had my hearts prayer answered.

“Little and often my love,” said the voice in the etha.
“You are so loved go forwards in, with and for Love.
Begin with you and your boy and the rest will follow.
The path of the heart, the pathway to peace, is love.”

And so. Piece by piece, little and often I began to heal and to love and to find my way in each moment of each day.
Over the years I have written so many of ‘my own’ songs and set the Mantra which have assisted me into rehabilitation to music, yet I could never get the sharing of them timed right!

This year, however, I have recorded the Mantra Album, each one carefully selected and written by myself and some in collaboration with my dear childhood friend, Marc Rapson.
They have held me and guided me through total loss of self, overwhelm, injury, abuse, nervous breakdown…and have revealed their healing and meanings to me steadily over the last 10years, guiding me to this moment in time.

I am humbled and delighted to share them with you in the coming months and hope they are of service to you too.
