I lost my younger sister Deena back in December 2019, and while I am still in the process of healing and coming to terms that I won’t be able to communicate with her the way I use to, I do want to take this moment to reach out to her and honor her spirit.
In many ancient spiritual traditions, it is known and taught that the longing of every soul, even before it leaves the body, is to make the journey to a place known by many names but most often just called “Home.” The mantra “Akaal” means deathless and is a chant traditionally chanted to help a soul crossover, as well as to ease the pain of grief and loss. Tonight, I chant Akaal to help me process this new reality as another year, and another trip around the Sun is approaching this month for me and others close to her. (Akaal, Akaal, Akaal…)
Lyrics
Mother, I feel you under my feet
Father, I hear you
Your heartbeat within me
My spirit flies free
Carry me home
Carry me home
Mother, I feel you under my feet
Father, I hear you
Your heartbeat within me
My spirit flies free
Carry me home
Carry me home
Carry me home
Akaal
Akaal
Akaal (Akaal)
Akaal (Akaal)
Akaal (Akaal)
Akaal (Akaal)
(Akaal, Akaal, Akaal) Akaal
(Akaal, Akaal, Akaal) Akaal
(Akaal, Akaal, Akaal)
All my relations, I can hear you loud
The story circles, it comes back around
We chant Akaal and watch them all go through
That door I never saw, I never knew, me and You
We come from earth and water
Straight from that mountain’s daughter
Back to the Mother we must journey now
We ride it up up on the wings of sound, hear it now
That holy tree is upside down, branches in the ground
Those roots and sky, open third eye, now pass the nectar ’round
Inside the heart is that eternal space
That melody showed me my own true face, yeah
You chant Akaal, I chant Akaal
All in the One, One in the all
Love on the rise, it never falls
Reach out your hand and I can pull you in
Reach out your hand and I can, pull you in
Akaal (Akaal)
Akaal (Akaal)
Akaal (Akaal)
Akaal (Akaal)
(Akaal, Akaal, Akaal) Akaal
(Akaal, Akaal, Akaal) Akaal
(Akaal, Akaal, Akaal) Akaal
(Akaal, Akaal, Akaal) Akaal
(Akaal, Akaal, Akaal) Akaal
(Akaal, Akaal, Akaal) Akaal
(Akaal, Akaal, Akaal) Akaal
Akaal (Akaal)
Akaal (Akaal)
Akaal (Akaal)
Akaal
Akaal
Can you see the faces of the mothers of your past?
Listen, they are calling for your healing (Akaal)
Can you see the faces of the fathers of your past?
Listen (Akaal) they are calling for your healing
Can you see the faces of the mothers of your past?
(Akaal) Listen, they are calling for your healing (Mother I feel you)
Can you see the faces of the fathers of your past?
(Akaal) Listen, they are calling for your healing
