One of my favorite songs to sing! With the incredible Steve Abrams on piano. Sound quality is not the best, but you get the idea.

Thank you for this beautiful song and video :) <3
Beautiful. Wish it were the full song
hi there, I would like to learn more, But I cannot access your website.
Amen
Thank you for this clear explanation Heather. Great!Where did you buy your shrutibox and how much did it cost? Is it a 432 hz one?
is it possible to do chord progressions or it's just for drones?
Thank You for This and That!!!🥰
Oh, Goody I get to sing along with you AGAIN!!🥰
So beautiful ❤😂😊
It puts a smile on my face every time I play it and joy in my heart thank you 🙏 ❤
Very nice ladies. I appreciate so much your tribute to Sheila Chandra. So sad she does not sing anymore. I’m American, and I don’t understand why other Americans didn’t catch on to her. Everybody here that I’ve played her for, is fascinated by her.
I'm so with you. I have made a routine of falling asleep to a random mix of Chandras songs nightly. 🙏 Namaste
I'm so happy to have discovered this. Happy tears! Namaste 🙏
Thank you for this helpful video! Is the one you are playing the large (16”) or small (13”) concert version?
16 inch. Monoj Kumar brand. You can get it from Beautiful Sounds 😉
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Whenever I hear this song, it moves me so much that I have to cry. Thank you for moving me so much and let emotions flow.
I would love to know what the pegs are on either side of the reed stoppers. Are they to secure the reed box when unscrewing it? Does it help with sound?
How do you feel about the pedal you can use with the shruti box?
beautiful
How big is this thing? I'm trying to figure out if I just bought a really poor quality one on eBay. You definitely can't get this kind of sustained out of it. Was there something I needed to do with the Box when I set it up? It's kind of always a race for instance when I how to sound holes open.
Great to see all these lovely faces and beautiful voices
I wish I could have been there. Beautiful.
amazing, this was meant to. I was just thinking how I wanted to find a course for voice so when I got money I can register. Well, the course appeared, now let's see if I can get the money. I saw there is someone in BC, Canada in this wo men's group. Your voice is great, love it. Thank you for sharing it.
just recently introduced to your awesome music...being multilingual I'm wondering what language you might be singing and the translation of the intro, because it isn't included in your lyrics?
It’s an improvised bass line. 😉. Not in any language that I know of.
She’s… literally playing it wrong. It’s backwards…… the way she holds it “when she’s playing for herself” is actually the correct way to play this instrument. It makes no ergonomic sense the other way.
Thank you for your concern. In my 20 plus years of experience in playing the Shruti box, I’ve found both ways to be ergonomically comfortable. It’s when it’s played to the side and the wrist is twisted that crates repetitive stress problems.
@@heatherhoustonmusic You are welcome. I also have decades of experience with this instrument. After 20 years one should know better than to teach people to play it backwards. My concern is for the people learning, not for the maker of the video. Also, of all the ridiculous ways I’ve seen it played to the side is a new one😂
It's funny that you have two different accounts to tell people they're doing it wrong.🎉 Maybe you could answer my question as to whether I just bought a really poor quality instrument or if there's something I need to do to have it have the kind of residents I keep seeing people have with their boxes. Maybe $100 on eBay just gets you a piece of garbage.
@@yieldsignslmao. Honestly I don’t know about the accounts, it probably just switched between emails. What size is your Sruti? The smaller the instrument, the less air flow you will have when blowing the bellows and the less resonant it will be. Normally the standard ones like the one she is playing range from about $350-$500, depending how good a deal the vendor gets. The most popular company is Monoj Kumar Sardar & Bros, but there are a couple of others that can make a quality Sruti. Truth be told however, every single instrument turns out completely different, so there is huge variation of quality even with the same maker. Recommended try before you buy to make sure you really jive with the instrument. They’re also pretty fragile, so if it was knocked around during transit it could cause airflow issues.
I certainly play mine in both directions, according to the room and audience. My main gig is didgeridoo and the Shruti really complements it well.
❤❤❤.....yes even women are warriors who rise strong.......
Delmar, MD love your chants!
ah... so amazing to see this song spreading its wings! thank you heather for bringing it to the US!

Thank you so much
Thank you. I saw my first Shruti box tonight closing out a Sufi class. You voice is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Wow! Just seeing this today Heather. What a beautiful video to share your Heart Song!
Idk why but this moved me to tears. So beautiful.
Hello and thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with us! I am just beginning to explore the sounds of the Shruti Box and looking to purchase one. This video helped a lot and thank you for the link to Beautiful Sounds! I am curious as to why you recommend the "male" box and can you explain the main difference(s) between the male and female versions (maybe you have another video that covers this topic?). Thank you again. (: Peace and blessings to you!
