Om Gaia International Top Ten!

According to our research, on 07/28/0010 the above referenced release; Om Gaia, by Terri Liles Mason, has attained The Number 2 Position on charts monitored and verified by IAIRA.

On behalf of the entire IAIRA staff and the Recording Arts Community at large, please accept our most sincere Congratulations and Best Wishes for your continued success! " Sincerely, IAIRA Research Team Heartfelt thanks to this organization and to all the radio stations who have been playing Om Gaia & to the fans. I am filled with gratitude & utter joy for the entire experience of creating Om Gaia & for all the reception that has come to me as it has journeyed around the world. I read & respond to everyone who writes me & I continue to be amazed at delighted at the response. Thank you Thank you Thank you to everyone! Om for the Oceans! Last night I watched again in horror as oil continues to cover our beloved oceans. I was moved to go inside & tune into Mother Earth & ask for her guidance. Based on that guidance I have decided to create OM FOR THE OCEANS: a Sound Healing Meditation To offer this healing to the oceans simply step outside, wherever you are, at 8:30 Sunday morning, the 4th of July. Take a deep breath & proceed to release the most powerful, all inclusive OM you have in you. Do that continuously for as long as you can sustain it. Next, take that opportunity to release any other held expression that you become aware of & let it emerge no matter how it sounds to be received by the sound of all creation. Do this in your own time zone, so we can create a wave of OM encircling the planet. As we express the sacred sound of ALL THAT IS , a collective OM will help receive & embrace the pressurized expression that Gaia is feeling right now which is contributing to the manifestation of this toxic oil spill. It will also assist her in opening the space in the birthing process she is now engaged in.

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.

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? 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. Om Gaia, Om Shanti, Rhade! These are excellent sanskrit mantras to use to set your intentions. I AM Terri, of the glorious planet Earth 
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!

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."
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,
