I know most of us can agree that music has healing qualities and can be a source of therapy for us whether we write it, listen, sing or move to it. My guest today is a very talented singer-songwriter (and mom) who has spent much of her life sharing music and sound in different ways. We met through the yoga community years ago and decided to have a conversation with each other that we would share on both of our podcasts. Mine being "Inspired Grownups" and her's being "Inspired Artist".  We get into the many ways music & sound can help us heal and grow at different times in our lives. Porter Singer is a spiritually-inclined musician, emotional fluency coach, podcaster and founder of body cello. Her intention is to beam out a harmonious vibration that gathers lightworkers in collaborative community. Porter has released a variety of singles as "Porter Singer, nine albums as "Sirgun Kaur" and one album as "Porter" called (The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy).

Today's guest is Porter Singer (aka Sirgun Kaur) Porter Singer took her first Kundalini Yoga class at the Golden Bridge in Hollywood, CA in 2009. Drawn to the allure of this space and (mainly) the music they played, she signed up for a children's teacher training program that same day. It was in that training she met a fellow musician who invited her to be part of the Summer Solstice sound team, in June 2010. At Solstice, she learned about the month-long Aquarian teacher training at the Española ashram in August, which she ended up taking that year too. Upon returning from this 1-month intensive, she felt her identity slowly morph, adopting her spiritual name completely and wearing a head covering any time she went out. Propelled by what she believed to be positive changes in her life, she decided to skip Christmas with the family that year in favor of attending Winter Solstice. There, she reunited with two men from the Summer Solstice Sound Team who would launch her further along her 3HO path. At Summer Solstice 2011, she married Harimander Singh and also released her first mantra album "The Music Within" with Sat Darshan Singh. This album contained the single “Bliss”, which would become the soundtrack for a Yogi Bhajan slide show entitled “Facets of the Master”— played at every White Tantric Yoga event in the world. Things seemed to be evolving "magically", and in 2013, after the birth of her first son, she released her second album. Postpartum depression was really her first clue that kundalini yoga, or “Yogi Bhajan”, might not have, or be, the answer to everything. She started to seek alternate solutions to wellness. The more she researched and branched out, the more confining her life started to feel. And in 2019, she finally made the decision to separate from her husband and move from the Phoenix ashram community. She now lives in Washington state with her two boys and her new partner.

Episode 20 welcomes Joshua Stoddard, a sound healer and musician based in Portland, Oregon. He has performed live all over the country, including at TEDx in Salem, at countless sound baths and yoga events, and his recordings on the Insight Timer app since 2015 have reach over 250,000 plays. He did a wonderful collaboration with Porter Singer, another musician formerly known as Sirgun Kaur and you can subscribe to and follow his sounds on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon where he already has thousands of enthusiastic followers. Joshua is conscientious, thoughtful and humble, and the beauty and power of what he brings to listeners is actually I believe of incredible impact and value. In our conversation we talk about his musical journey from rock and roll bands to the more soothing sounds that he embraces today. We also talk about the health journey he's been on and how he coped with the passing of his Father last year. Currently, Joshua is working on releasing a new album, while temporarily stationed in Martha's Vineyard, where he runs the beach everyday in the snow before heading into the studio to record. At the end of the episode, we play nearly 20 minutes of some of Joshua's most recent recordings, so be sure to listen right to the end.

If you are a person who believes in the infinite spirit inside each of us, this book may be an affirmation of all that you hold sacred. After an accident leaves a loving father in a coma, on the verge of life and death, he travels to another place. On the outside, he was in a hospital bed; but, on the inside he was in a place he calls, “The Place Between Here and There.” It was a place where time did not exist, where people were spirits and bliss is achieved through understanding.• Everyone and everything have a spirit. • Your higher self is always in spirit and is guiding you. • All spirits are connected and form the one universal consciousness. • Your consciousness grows from both good and bad experiences. • You can connect and communicate with those in spirit. • Signs and synchronicities are your connection to spirt.This book details his journey to this wondrous place, then back to earth, where he must rehabilitate from grave injuries, only to then experience the worst tragedy a parent can imagine. With the help of a soul connection from the higher realms, he finds his way back to the peace and bliss he learned from The Place Between Here and There.------------------------ABOUT YOUR HOST:Porter Singer (aka "Sirgun Kaur") is a spiritually-inclined music-maker and personal coach.

Arjuna O’Neal grew up on 7 Mile on Detroit’s Eastside, surrounded by poverty and trauma. The son of a drug dealer, he was exposed to gang culture as a child and the violent lifestyle that came with it. Arjuna was only 15 when he started selling drugs himself and was running his own operation by age 17.  But everything changed one fateful day when a bullet nearly took his life, and in that moment Arjuna was confronted by every choice he’d ever made. He realized then, he had only two options to survive; to allow the cycle of violence and hopelessness that led to this moment continue, or to change everything. The bullet had severed his femoral artery and left Arjuna paralyzed for over a year. During his long recovery, Arjuna discovered a personal relationship with God, the power of yoga to strengthen his body, and the benefits of meditation to regain control of his mind. After fully recovering, he went back to school and earned an Associate of Arts in Business, a Bachelor of Science in International Business, and a Master of Business Administration. Additionally, Arjuna expanded his yoga studies and became an E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance certified instructor. As Arjuna transcended the trauma of his early life, he was able to recognize the spiral of self-destruction of his friends and neighbors. His near-death experience fostered a newfound calling to help others before it was too late. It was this inner calling and second chance at life that inspired Arjuna to create Share Necessities, an organization dedicated to improving communities by empowering the young people within them. As a father and an example to his own children, Arjuna is determined to help every young person he encounters to create their own healthy life, bright future, and the peace of mind that everyone deserves.

In this episode I'm speaking with Actress/Medical Student Jules Hartley about how she is processing all of the information coming out of the Kundalini Yoga and 3HO communities. For some background on why we are having this conversation, you can listen to the episodes I've done with Matthew Remski, GuruGanesha, and Nadine Stellavota Brown. This is the video Jules I refer to in the beginning, that Jules made as a response to the "Shit __(insert group here)__ Say" craze that was going on a few years ago on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zHzM9p8vWowA quote Jules shared with me after our conversation:“Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” -Jamie Anderson ------------------------ABOUT YOUR HOST:Porter Singer (formerly known as "Sirgun Kaur") is a spiritually-inclined music-maker and personal coach.

In this episode of the podcast, I am speaking with Nadine Stellavato Brown, a graphic designer living in Washington state. Nadine grew up in 3HO, a community created by Yogi Bhajan and his followers. She speaks about the trauma she experienced being sent away from her parents at 2 years of age, being underfed and abused in India, being groped by Yogi Bhajan as a young woman, and her eventual decision to "take off her turban" and leave the organization. I am so honored to have her share her story on the podcast, and lend her voice to a chorus of truth coming forth from this community.Nadine's Written Testimonial:"I’m Nadine (Hari Kaur) the daughter of Richard Lasser (MSS Baba Singh) and Andrea Opalenik (SS Krishan Kaur).This is my story.At two years old my parents became Sikhs. The same year I was sent to live in the D.C. Ashram. I lived in various Ashrams and was part of the first kids sent to India from ages 2-16. This alone is riddled with so much anguish and grief in my life and yet was not the worst.At 16 I insisted I move home - and attended a western school.In 1990 I graduated high school and was asked by the Yogi Ji (SSS) to take a year off to work at the Secretariat.All I really wanted at the time was to go to college, to spread my wings. I knew at a young age Sikhism was not for me. Yet, I dutifully listened to the master my parents picked.I was told to work under MSS Nirinjan Kaur, one of his secretaries. She immediately starts to “groom” me. She would frequently ask, “If SSS asked you to work full time as a secretary, would you consider not going to college?”One of my many duties was to “clean his room” and set it up for sleeping. They were clear with me who took care of him at night with the implication I could be called to do the same soon.——Many nights I would be with SSS and his “Entourage” at Dr Allen’s house. One night he called my father and me into the back room. He started to yell at me, that I was a slut, was I even a virgin? He said that a kid I grew up with, told him I was a flirt. And yogi did not believe my answers. I was devastated.A second time, again at Dr. Allen’s house, the yogi again called my father and me into the back room. This time to compliment a certain dress I had on. He told me the dress was “sexy” and I was to only wear that style from then on, he proceeded to push money into my hand to buy more.Finally, in the late fall of 1990, I was at Dr. Allen’s cleaning SSSs room. He came across me. He made me stand up, asked me to twirl around, then he proceeded to put both of his hand on my breast, he squeezed them. He turned me around and did the same to my butt. I was scared, we were alone. I was mortified. He said, “You are almost ready, and turning out very nicely.”As soon as I could I ran home.I told my dad what happened. That I would never go back. Because he had been in the room the previous two encounters, he believed me.But it did not end there.When the SSS found out I would not got back, he asked my parents to disown me. He harassed me, he harassed my parents. He got kids I grew up with to call me, ask me not to go.In December of 1990 we all took off our turbans.You have to understand my dad was the first student to put on a turban. He was devoted he and the community never thought this would happen. Now everyone knows, he stood by his daughter.And.... I was lucky, I still had my family. I not only had my mother and father, but I also had and still have my lovely god-parents Sat Shakti Singh and Andrea Khalsa (Sat Shakti Kaur) and Akasha Richmond, who was and still is my saving grace. There are so many who never had that support.I believe all the stories, I respect all those who share and those who cannot. The pain and shame are real."------------------------ABOUT YOUR HOST:Porter Singer (formerly known as "Sirgun Kaur") is a spiritually-inclined music-maker and personal coach.

In this episode you get to hear me, a coach, being coached. I have been working with Gary Temple Bodley for over a year now. I have his work so much that I now coach for his "Unlimited Abundance Bootcamp" -- an 8 week program where we learn to pinpoint and process limiting beliefs as they are coming up in our daily life. By the end of the process you will want to take it again (and most people do), because once you're "in", you are free to take it as many times as you care to. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. We are talking about some resistance I was experiencing about teaching a mantra class to an online Kundalini Yoga school in Russia. Note: I translate the word "Namo" as having to do with identity. "Namo" is actually an acknowledgment or recognition (often translated as "I bow to..."). One way to translate "Ong Namo Gurudev Namo", the mantra we are discussing, is "I focus my consciousness and choose to recognize my loving guides, the wisdom within me." More info on Gary Temple Bodley: https://theteachingsofjoshua.com/"Joshua Live" Podcast: https://joshualive.podbean.com"Law of Attraction Roundtable" Podcast: https://theteachingsofjoshua.podbean.comFor more info on the Bootcamp email me: info@sirgunkaur.com------------------------ABOUT YOUR HOST:Porter Singer (formerly known as "Sirgun Kaur") is a spiritually-inclined music-maker and personal coach.

Today's conversation is all about PARENTING! This is such an important conversation to be having and really brainstorming about right now in the time of quarantine, where we are probably spending a lot more time with our kids than we are used to. Emily Quandt is leads a community called FREE TO LEARN, where she empowers children and teens through natural learning. As a child Emily was privileged to spend the majority of her time practicing what the Alliance for Self-Directed Education calls the six pillars of self-directed education: her social strata expected that she was responsible for her own education; she was given almost completely unlimited time to play, explore and pursue her own interests; she had the opportunity to play with the tools of her culture; she had access to a variety of caring adults who were helpers, not judges; regular free age-mixing between children, and adolescents; and she was immersed in a stable, supportive, respectful community.

GuruGanesha is my guest in this episode and we are talking more about 3HO culture within the context of the abuse stories coming to light around Yogi Bhajan--the "spiritual teacher" who founded what we know as "Kundalini Yoga". GuruGanesha, a child of the ‘60s, grew up in a world where social expression and musical boundaries were confined to a very rigid set of rules that the 1950’s America dictated. Then one day that all changed: It was in 1964 that the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show for the first time, and the world was never the same. He knew right away what his life long calling would be and then set out across the country armed with a guitar and a vision to touch people’s souls with sound and love. For more info: https://www.guruganeshaband.com/FULL LETTER FROM SAT PAVAN (one of the many women who have come forth to share their stories of being abused by Yogi Bhajan): I am one of the victims. I did not say anything for 28 years because I thought it was a "test". I thought having me watch porn three nights a week when I was 17 was really testing me to not be so innocent as he always said I was. I thought when I was alone with him at night in his room for night duty when I was 18 and he asked me to get in bed with him and make out with him and that all his "wives" do this it was a test. As I shook, terrified, as my heart beat out of my chest as tears burned my eyes and I repeatedly said no it was a test and when I left his room I thought if I told anyone he would be destroyed. I couldn't believe he trusted me with this secret. He offered me money, shopping sprees, fancy trips. I turned it down telling him I just wanted to serve the Guru. I thought he was a holy man, a Sikh of the Guru and if I said anything all the good he had done would be destroyed so I hid it. I stuffed it away. It haunted me for years. I told myself that it was an isolated incident and nothing happened. On the day before my wedding, asking for his Blessing he refused to give it saying I betrayed him in choosing Sarib and I could have had him. I remained loyal, I danced at events, I traveled and played Kirtan and even as he tormented me for years and pressured Sarib and I to not go to school, to work in the businesses and not do anything else, I said to myself he has our best interests in mind. I validate the women. I am one. I stayed. I wanted to serve the mission. What mission I ask now? I was angry for so long feeling after all of this he did not keep his promises that Sarib and I would always be taken care of. I directed this anger at every one else, but not him. To find out from other friends that he did similar things to them, but they left because they couldn't separate him from being a Sikh and their loyalty to be a Sikh was not strong. They are not crazy. This was not ok. It took Sarib asking me a question two weeks ago if I would be ok with these events happening to Jivan Jot, who is the same age as I was. It woke me from denial. No! I saw everything clear in that moment. Sarib has known these things for years but has patiently waited for and hoped I would realize what was done to me, how he continued to abuse me for marrying Sarib, disparaging Sarib to me, because I was the one who got away, but was still around in the community. And still I did not want to destroy people's lives. One of my friends said the reason she did not come forward was because she thought no one would believe her. I did not come forward because I thought everyone would believe me and the weight of hurting so many people weighed on me. I cannot hide. I cannot keep silent. I am a Sikh. He does not get that. I will dance, I will play Kirtan, I will hold my head up. I am the daughter of Guru Gobind Singh. I am part of 25 million strong. I am a survivor of mental, emotional, psychological and sexual abuse. He owns that abuse.------------------------ABOUT YOUR HOST:Porter Singer (formerly known as "Sirgun Kaur") is a spiritually-inclined music-maker and personal coach.

In this episode, I talk with Sam Bullington, the founder of Colorado’s Transgender Community Choir: Phoenix. Phoenix is a fully collaborative grassroots community of individuals who believe in the transformative potential of the arts for personal empowerment and societal change. Not exactly a traditional chorus, Phoenix is more of a safe space to take risks of self-exploration—whether around gender and identity, creativity and voice, or leadership and community building.  Although many of its members are trans-identified, the choir is home for anyone who does not fit neatly into the gender binary, as well as all those touched by trans issues, including partners, parents, friends, and allies. This non-audition intergenerational social justice chorus performs frequently at community events, often material composed by choir members.

Sirgun Kaur is an Arizona-based sacred chantress who is also an avid blogger and Kundalini Yoga instructor. There has never been any question in Sirgun Kaur's mind what she should do "when she grew up." From collecting nursery rhymes as an infant, to sharing her adolescent woes with a sympathetic piano, or touring the United States as a singer-songwriter in her early 20s, music has always been an anchor in Sirgun's life. It was not until she discovered Kundalini Yoga, chanting, and mantra, however, that she understood the transformative and healing potential of music. In a word: magical! Since then, Sirgun has released four albums of sacred chants: Reclaim Your Happiness,Dayaal, The Cosmic Gift, and The Music Within. Her latest album, Reclaim Your Happiness, was released through Spirit Voyage as part of their Meditations for Transformation series.  Sirgun says that her childhood of constant travel, living as an expat in France, has taught her abundant gratitude for her voice. Her voice has received international recognition at White Tantric Yoga events, where her song "Bliss" was selected as the soundtrack to the KRI promotional DVD "Facets of the Master," played at each break.  Visit http://sirgunkaur.blogspot.com and http://sirgunkaur.com Get the Off the Grid Into the Heart CD by Sister Jenna.  Like America Meditating on FB & follow us on Twitter.
