Udāna Vāyu
Short Summary
Upward lift—voice, growth, and transformation.
Full Description
Udāna Vayu is the upward-moving current, flowing through the throat and head. It governs speech, growth, and the upward lift of spirit. Balanced udāna expresses clarity, enthusiasm, and vision; imbalance may result in confusion, stuttering, or lack of direction.

Leave on the Light
This song explores the tender space between loss and hope. It speaks to the belief that we will meet again — that we’ll find our way home. Whether it's someone we’ve loved and lost, or a soul who’s walked before us, they can “leave on the light” to guide us forward. A guru is one who brings us from darkness to light. This is an ode to them — and to the light that always waits for us.
