Album Description

With so much so-called New Age music turning out to be nothing more than heavily hyped, synthesized reformulations of the romantic, syrupy schlock that Middle America tends to gorge itself on, it is a blessing to find the Real Music label founding a new Real Mystic imprint dedicated to music that helps open pathways to higher dimensions.

Label President Terence Yallop, who leads a 15-minute guided meditation on Namasté's second bonus disc, has done a superb job of assembling pieces that transmit New Age music's most trancelike and devotional qualities. Two beautiful tracks are from Karunesh's Zen Breakfast, two from discs by Buedi Siebert. "Prabhupada Padma" from Rasa in Concert features the vocals of Kim Waters. Kim's voice is so sensual that she could sing a grocery list and have you down on your knees, pledging eternal devotion to Kellogg's Corn Flakes and hopefully something more organic. The music of Ben Leinbach, excerpted from his Spirit of Yoga disc, has already received praise in these pages: Yallop wisely uses it as background to his meditation as well as a solo track. Add in Benjamin Iobst's Singing Bowls of Tibet and other beautiful offerings from Devakant and Gary Malkin, and you've got a collection as ideally suited to dinner by candlelight as for contemplation, meditation, and just plain daydreaming.

~ Jason Victor Bellecci-Serinus, Spirit of Change

Have heard this CD Over and Over ..........2006-06-29

I have been a massage therapist for about 12 years. Occasionally, I will come across a CD that I can play over and over again and never get tired of it. This is one of those. Over the last two years, I have probably heard it hundreds of times. It is the best compilation of sacred / new age / relaxing music I have ever heard. Enjoy!

so... so... so..........2006-04-22

I purchased this CD purely from what I had read online from other reviews. All I can say is that it is absolutely beautiful... so much so, that it is almost 'haunting.' It really is a worthwhile purchase.

Fantastic album.......2006-02-10

This album contains some of the most beautiful and meditative pieces I have ever heard.

Namaste.......2006-01-13

This in my opinion, is the most beautiful music I've ever heard. The music sampler cant possibly capture the beauty of this entire CD. It is a wonderful meditation CD, one that can put you in a very peaceful, deep medatative state, a musical masterpiece of every track that will take your mind into an incredible state- there's nothing like this one, Namaste. It is my very favorite CD of all.

Absolutely Blissful!.......2005-06-01

This is one of the most blissfully meditative CD's I've listened to in a long time! I can listen to it all day and never get tired of it. It has music that heals at all levels. If you're really having a stressful day, week, or month, this with a cup of herbal tea will have you de-stressed in no time!

Beautiful!.......2005-09-08

Having heard traditional chants at Temples and sometimes at home, I was unsure how adding Western musical instruments would sound. Having listened to this CD I now know that it sounds great! This is a beautiful piece of work that I've found uplifting and moving. The artists really seem to have given a part of themselves in creating this, and like other reviewers, I've listened to it repeatedly and still find it mesmerising.

Mantras, the hippie way.......2005-03-17

I was dissapointed with the album. The music was ordinary and reminded me of the "kunbaya"-type of songs from the 60's.... Don't know id they invoke magical healing, but the mantras are rather a cheap boring version of commercialized hippie music.
I am used to listening to true mantras from the masters, and I don't recall any of them being so superficial.

Love this CD!.......2004-08-20

The simplicity and beauty of this music cannot be matched. I listen to it just before I go to sleep. It's the perfect music to lull you into blissful dreams. Buy it and try it. My favorite purchase this year.

WOW!.......2004-01-02

I wished there were more Namaste recordings here on amazon. When I listen to this recording it makes me feel as if I am on vacation, sitting out in nature near a fire with mild refreshing breeze blowing - with a group of close friends, celebrating life and praising the power of creation. Oh, what a wonderful feeling!

Incredible.......2002-02-28

I heard this cd in a yoga class recently and it touched me like none other. Enchanting was a word that was used in one of the reviews and I could note agree more.

Fabulous Teaching Resource.......2007-07-10

Namaste! is an amazing education tool for children and adults to learn and practice together the beautiful art of yoga. A great resource for teachers who want to integrate songs and movement into classroom use and teach their students a fun yet physically and mentally rich practice.

There are so many original songs in this collection. In fact, there are so many tracks! Songs, guided meditations, guided postures - this is a rich resource for inspiration and teaching. Plus, the booklet is a treasure trove of information. All the lyrics are included, with suggestions for using the songs with specific poses and parent/teacher notes that give more in depth background into the yoga perspective.

For those new to yoga the parent/teacher notes are a helpful background, and can deepen your understanding of the purpose behind the yoga exercises.

For those that already practice yoga, the liner notes are helpful in seeing the yogic context that these songs and meditations are based in.

For yoga teachers and classroom teachers the liner notes provide useful tips for integrating the songs into their teaching or even creating their own songs for classroom use.

In addition to basic information on specific yogic breathing practices, including details on belly breath and 3 part breath, the parent/teacher notes also include information on: the role of affirmation songs and nada yoga, mindfulness meditation, managing stress, gratitude, guided imagery and cultivating inner peace.

I was so impressed with the collection on Namaste! that we decided to carry it in the shop in our yoga studio. It's an excellent resource for our teachers that work with children. And our yoga students find that Namaste! is a fun ways to share yoga with the children in their lives.

Great CD for my yoga classes!.......2007-07-10

With over 40 songs and sound meditation moments just on the first CD of Namaste! this set gave me lots of tools and ideas to work with for teaching my yoga classes.
For example, I found the song "Being Present" to be a good lead in for meditation practice with children and even with adults in my classes.
I have played "Being Present" as a listening meditation to center my students at the beginning of class. It makes a great introduction to seated meditation focusing on the breath. I have also played "Being Present" at the end of yoga class as encouragement for my students to continue noticing times during the day when they are "being present" while engaged in day to day activities. Listening to "Being Present" has helped my students find easy and fun ways to focus on meditation practices. It's been an instant "hit".

Fun for all ages.......2007-04-25

This Cd is so much fun! It is joyful and full of heart and soul.

I highly reccomend it for anyone!

A Great Buy for Kids and Adults Alike.......2006-07-21

I bought "Namaste!" upon a recommendation by a friend, and boy have the CDs exceeded my expectations! We have listened to the CDs in the car during trips (we have three boys) and listen to them at home as well.

The tunes are catchy, the boys pick them up and hum them when they are doing their chores (so maybe I used this music to "focus" the boys during their chores). Many of the "ditties" are good for introducing new poses or transitioning into something new (even in every day activities). For a novice yoga family, this music collection is fun, positive, and inspiring.

Fun, great messages, good for kids' creativity.......2006-02-20

My two kids (ages 4 & 7) are listening to this and they are really into it.
They end up making up lots of their own creative yoga poses,
dances and games from what they hear,
which I think is a positive aspect of an audio-based piece.
