What it means
I bow to the primal power; I bow to the all-encompassing power; I bow to that through which the divine creates; I bow to the creative power of the Mother.

Why this one, at this hour
While the body lies still, something in it is fully awake: the primal current the traditions call Shakti, the creative power of the Mother, which never sleeps. The lucid dream is not manufactured by the clever mind; it is Shakti, playing, delighted to be seen. This invocation bows to her four times — and lets her lead.
How to use it tonight
Lie down. Play it once at low volume, close enough to hear the words without straining. Say the mantra silently with the voice for as long as it is easy, then let it say itself. When the whispered line comes, do not repeat it — let it be planted. The album runs in order across the night; if you fall asleep before the end, that is the intended outcome.
The whispered line
“The Mother is awake in me”
