Fire the Grid!
This fall, humanity is experiencing a Cosmic Event known as the 11:11:11 . From the Fall Equinox on September 23, until November 11, a great wave of cosmic love will embrace our planet, ushering in the final stage of wholeness of our journey as the Earth & her children begin to feel our connection to the ONE pulsating Universe we have long felt separated from.
My friends, the Age of Aquarius has arrived and so have we.
On 11:11:11, I will be leading a Fire the Grid meditation in CT connecting us with millions of people around the world to celebrate this long awaited event. On that day, the energetic grid of connection we have been building will be complete and we will be firing the grid with our grandest intentions for the future of the Earth.
It has recently occurred to me that the music of Om Gaia was created by & for this celebration. Please plan to join me October 16 at the Wainwright House in Rye, NY to raise our voices in praise of Gaia, Mother Goddess of Earth and our amazing journey with her throughout the eons. My love, honor & blessings to you & yours as our paths merge together into ONE.
The Om Gaia Center for Meditation & Evolving Consciousness opens in Connecticut! What I love about Om Gaia is how it unfolds such beautiful surprises for me. I was still basking in the glow of Kripalu when I got an invitation from the Montessorri School in Norwalk, CT to teach classes there. The answer was a resounding YES! AS I sat down to decide exactly what I wanted to offer, the Om Gaia Center was born! So, starting with an OPEN House on June 17, I will be offering a slew of "Summer of Consciousness" classes. it is so exciting to combine the beautiful healing music of Om Gaia with my ten years of consciousness training. What a beautiful expansion of unknown potential!
So click on the Om Terri button & click on meditations to get the full schedule of offerings. If you are not within traveling distance, I am still doing phone consulations, so feel free to call to get more info on those.
And the journey continues.
Rhade!
KRIPALU !
It was a beautiful spring evening recently as I found myself performing at the incredible Kripalu Yoga Center.
The sacred space of the Main Hall was glorious, the audience full of like-minded souls and the staff superb. As a new artist, this is the ultimate honor, and a dream fulfilled.
"A celebration of Mother Earth and all who inhabit it". Reviewer Kathy Parsons comment manifests again & again.
The continued unfolding of the unknown potential that Om Gaia vibrates continues to amaze me,and I am blessed.

What is Love?I have often commented that Om Gaia has healed me on so many levels that words cannot describe it, so Debbie's experience has been very like my own. It is amazing to me to hear that my own healing has radiated out into the world to heal others.
When I opened my facebook page this morning, someone asked, “What is Love?”
As I thought about that, this is the answer that came to me, so I thought I would share it with you.
LOVE is the foundation & connective energy of our universe and the birthright of us all. Connection, reception and ease are its components. As free will beings, we can choose to experience something Other than love at any given moment, which we do quite often.
When you notice that feeling missing, just stop, breathe and feel your connection with yourself and with every being in the world. It is there. We can always create the feeling of dis-connect, but THAT is the illusion. It is the same with reception & ease. We can create the feeling of NOT receiving and the feeling of dis-ease at any time.
DIS- ing ourselves is easy.
The good news is we can stop & switch our focus at any time as well back to connection, reception, and ease, i.e. Love.
In relationship with our children, partners, friends & families, we are given infinite opportunities to practice this! As humans living in a world that seems to have forgotten the love principle altogether, we often fall prey to the illusion.
I would also like to add that ALL experience, loving AND unloving is RECEIVED by creation as a valuable contribution to the whole, so don't beat yourself or others up for not being able to hold a constant focus of love. Consider that we are simply exploring the vast tapestries of LOVE on Earth at this time, and THAT is a great gift to the Universe, and we are REALLY good at it !
So, when that feeling of UN lovingness comes over you, practice remembering
YOU ARE LOVE. Say outloud, I AM LOVE! Scream it if you have the courage!
I AM LOVE! Tell yourself, tell the world. No experience you ever have can take that away from you. . .
So I send my love to you on this day set aside to focus on the love that WE ARE.
May every step you take this day be sweet!
Happy Valentines Day 2011
Terri
The Healing Journey of OM Gaia
Recently, I got an email describing the healing journey Om Gaia has taken Debbie Connery of Washington State on. When I receive such heartelt messages from my listeners, I am reminded of why I have devoted the last three years of my life spreading the music & message of Om Gaia.
I have never thought of myself as a healer, purposely shying away from that title. But I have come to believe that healing is just a matter of "releasing the pain from the very start" in the words of Om Gaia. And as we allow ourselves to do that, we finally feel the love that is always there just waiting for us to remember it. And in that moment we are healed.
So in that way, we are all healers with the ability to heal ourselves.
So thank you Debbie and the many others who have sent me such beautiful messages to remind me that sometimes we just need a little support to shift our whole perspective of life. We never know just when or in what form that reminder will come, but come it will.
And if Om Gaia does that for even one person, its reason for being is fulfilled.
So I wish you Om Gaia, Om Shanti, & PEACE to you & yours in 2011, another pivotal year on our beloved planet Earth. As the Winter Mother heals the Earth, may she bring you love & healing as well.
Love to each of you,
Terri

Om Gaia presented to the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers in NYC
On December 13, I was invited to present Om Gaia to the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers at Jivamukti Yoga in NYC. These women are from 13 tribes around the world who had a shared vision to travel the world together & share the Earth wisdom of their tribes. They have been everywhere from Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Bali and with the Dalai Llama this past year and have many more stops to make.
As everyone gathered, Om Gaia was playing throughout the building. My heart was just bursting with joy to share my music with so many people! After they spoke I was able to present Om Gaia to each of them , hold their hand & thank them for their gift with mine. Truly a magical evening as I was able to feel my native American lineage so strongly in their presence.

REVIEWS
This review surprised me on the internet from NewAgeMusicWorld.com 's John Olson, out of Toronto,who posted this on his blog:
" Om Gaia celebrates Mother Earth by inspiring, thought filled lyrics, announced to all by the beautifully deep and rich blending of Terri's soft & sensual vocals, instilling thoughts of an ancient realm that transforms onto the present. This female New Age artist has accomplished much in bringing positive vibes into this vibrant musical journey she has just offered the world. I expect we will hear more from Terri."
Thanks, John. I certainly hope you will hear more from me! NewAgeMusicWorld.com is a terrific site for both new age musicians and artists. Check it out!
This review from Kathy Parsons is featured on her website, MainlyPiano.com. Kathy is rated as one of the top musical reviewers in the world.
"Om Gaia's ten tracks are all vocals with rhythmic, trance-like instrumental accompaniment that has a mildly exotic flavor. Mason's voice is hypnotic and earthy as she honors the magic of the sacred feminine.
"Elixir of Love" (track seven) celebrates the divine union of Gaia and her long-separated masculine self. A slow and sensual love song, this is one of my favorites. I also really like "Begin Again," which lovingly urges us to move forward into our unknown potential, remembering what brings us joy. Gentle and playful, it's a warm invitation. "Beautiful Beings" concludes the journey with joy, hope, and encouragement set to a catchy melody.
Overall, "Om Gaia" is a very upbeat and spiritual musical experience that celebrates Mother Earth and all who inhabit it.

Om Gaia Debuts at Earth Day
Om Gaia began her sojourn around the world on April 25 at Earth Day NY where I was invited to debut Om Gaia.
It was a beautiful day in the city as my dear friends and back up singers Sue Cadwell, Andrea Wappler and myself stood before the Earth Day stage. I think we were all a little awe-struck with what we were about to do.
The incredible Manhattan Samba Drum Corp opened the space for us with their trance-inducing drumming, and the next thing we knew the Om Gaia invocation was echoing through the canyons of New York City. As the sacred words Om Gaia rang out, all my anxiety disappeared as we took the stage. I soon felt myself ground into Mother Earth, found my voice and with hearts full of joy & amazement, we delivered the gift of Om Gaia to New York.
As the lyrics to Om Gaia say, "it's easy, so easy, nothing to fear!" That was so true as all three of us breezed through the performance and had a blast doing it!
What is an Om Gaia world?
It's one where Gaia, the great Mother Goddess of Earth is honored & celebrated for her vast creative abilities & gifts of service to this world. As 2012 approaches, Gaia is moving to expand to a new point of evolution. And, needless to say, as Gaia goes, so goes the world!
In an Om Gaia world, everyone is encouraged to be & express who they truly are, no holds barred. So take a deep breath and hang on because, here we go!
As recording my first cd has been the catalyst for launching this site, I will start by focusing on that miraculous, and definitive OM GAIA event. Click on my bio page to get the story about how Om Gaia came into being from someone who started singing just a few years ago.
Start the Om Gaia journey by going to the music page, listening to the sample tracks and reading the lyrics, which are transformational in & of themselves. After that, please take your time perusing what other little treasures you might find hidden away here. Like the perfect 5- minute meditation, guaranteed to get even the novice meditator breathing in the Zen zone!
Then, come to Goddess School by checking out my Goddess Messages, where I will be sharing my very personal Goddess journals from the past 8 years for the first time, as well as some fascinating info about Gaia,the supreme Goddess of this Galaxy, also known as Mother Earth.
In OM Terri, find Universal Teachings that I have learned from many different sources over the years that I have found to be life-changing, and info about my coaching services. Right now life changing is what everything is all about as the world moves through a state of unprecedented transformation.
Thankfully, Gaia is here to offer guidance on how to leave our cocoons and change into the beautiful beings that we are with as much ease and grace as we can muster! I am delighted we are journeying together through this momentous time on Earth. Check back often as I will be continuously adding new info to ease our passage.
So until then, let our mantra be "as one journey ends, another begins, and it's a journey of creation, surrounded by friends."
Om Gaia, Om Shanti, Rhade!
These are excellent sanskrit mantras to use to set your intentions.
In essence,they mean: Hail Gaia, beloved Mother of Earth, Peace, and greetings, beloved ones of the Supreme Goddess! By the way, Sanskrit is one cool language. Speaking even a few words of it can lift your spirits and start shifting your vibration! So Om away, dear friends, until next we meet.
Wishing you ease, connection & reception,
I AM Terri, of the glorious planet Earth
