What if the answer to your anxious mind, your racing thoughts, your endless to-do list… wasn't more thinking, more therapy, or more meditation, but a single ancient sound passed down for thousands of years? In this powerful conversation, a Grammy-nominated mantra singer reveals how the sacred sound that's been chanted across India for centuries can instantly calm your nervous system, dissolve mental noise, and reconnect you to a peace that doesn't depend on anything outside of you.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Marci Shimoff (Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul, Happy for No Reason, The Secret) sits down with her dear friend Deva Premal — the internationally renowned mantra singer whose music plays in yoga studios around the world. With more than 25 albums and a Grammy nomination, Deva has shared the power of mantra with millions through her unique blend of ancient sacred chants and contemporary music.

Deva shares the extraordinary story of how her father sang the Gayatri Mantra to her in the womb — and how that single mantra became the foundation of her life, her music, and her 35-year love story with her partner Miten. She also leads a beautiful live OM meditation that you can do anywhere, in 2 minutes, to instantly recalibrate your entire energetic system.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, scattered, anxious, or like you're searching for something more peaceful — this conversation delivers a tool you can use immediately. No background in spirituality required. No meditation experience needed. Just your voice, your breath, and a few sacred sounds.
