Unto Infinity Album Art

I recently created the cover art for this beautiful new album created by my friends Za Rah Kumara + Hansujot in collaboration with our teacher Tej of Nine Treasures Yoga. We also made a downloadable digital booklet featuring ten meditations from the archives of Yogi Bhajan – many of which had never been published before and all coordinating with tracks on the album. It was a very educational experience – and I’m really pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend the album for meditation and relaxation – Find it wherever you buy / stream music.

Rogan Tay by White Sun
New Song by White Sun ~ Art by Jamila Starwater Tazewell

I’m so thrilled to share that I designed the cover for Grammy Award winning White Sun‘s new single Rogan Tay. This song is a very uplifting + powerful mantra that has the ability to re write negative programming picked up in utero. This means, you can simply listen to it and receive tremendous benefit. This mantra is for all ages but it is wonderful to play this while pregnant and for your children. Listen to this interview with Gurujas to learn more about how mantras work and read this interview for more information and inspiration on this topic.

This was a super fun project and total honor. Thank you Harijiwan, Gurujas, and Adam Berry for this opportunity !

You can download the song on itunes or wherever you buy music.

Breathe
“Lakshmi in the Park” © Jamila Tazewell 2019

We want to leave with you certain knowledge which will serve you, your personality, your reality, your own self.  You will become prosperous.  You will say, “How?”  The more prana the body consumes, more wealth comes.  It’s simple law.  People with short breath are always absolutely poor.  They half breathe.  They breathe only in upper area.  They do not touch the heavens and earth.

Full breath is when lungs are expanded and they can’t get any more.  Breathe out, then squeeze them out.  This is what you have to do. This is Raj Yog.  It gives in you the royalty of personality.  It takes, cuts out your poverty.  Suck in the entire prana.  And push out all weaknesses and disease.

–Yogi Bhajan, 12/17/97

Meditate

You must know you have an unlimited reserve of energy. Once you invoke your energy, there is nothing that is small in you. All the environments start flying towards you. It’s beautiful.

Creating the World
“Creating the World ”  © Jamila Tazewell 2016 – Available on Starwater Yoga

“Cross the frontal area of the grey matter so that you can see the huge multiple universe we call love… Love is the basic grit with which you can combat death, negativity, attack, it’s a vibratory effect. I want you to experience it.”  Yogi Bhajan

“In collage we take images that can never possibly co-exist, and arrange them in the same frame. Thus we train ourselves to expand our sense of what is possible.” Andre Breton

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This collage was created over the course of a few hours last friday night. The sewing lady called out to me and then the rest of the images just formed themselves around her. Sometimes you just enter the flow state and it’s the best feeling ever. I feel like creating a collage is an alchemical process that transforms me. Then sometimes the piece is doorway for the viewers psyche to enter that same space.  Imagery and symbols, like sound, send the mind automatically in a direction. I think that is the idea of all sacred art. It sends the mind into a good direction.  I think it is all so fun, but it is useful too!
