Product Description
Dramatic flamenco guitar, ambient synthesizer tonalities, and moody, wordless vocals evoke a windswept plain, or the ocean at dusk. It's music as mood. Mood as music. It's the aural atmospher that will soon be providing the soundtrack to your life. It is B-Tribe.

Album Description

Music touches our hearts and resonates within our bodies. The right music can truly renew us, helping us to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Great musicians have always recognized this therapeutic power of music, and researchers are finally proving them right. THE SOUND MEDICINE SERIES features the works of inspired musical pioneers who are exploring music's healing power.

Natural Balance and Harmony Your body is a self-healing instrument. If you give it a chance it will always tend toward homeostasis or healthful balance. Sound healer Steven Halpern uses soothing and free-floating keyboard compositions to draw the body into this state of balance and harmony. Combining artistic inspiration, sensitivity, and sophisticated sound technology, his compositions synchronize the hemispheres of the brain and amplify the production of alpha waves. This natural response is associated with feelings of deep relaxation, contentment, and well-being.

Steven Halpern, Ph.D. stands at the leading edge of the growing public understanding of the relationship between music, body, mind and spirit. An internationally acclaimed composer and recording artist Halpern has produced over sixty recordings and authored several books. His music has been featured on 48 Hours, America's Talking, and in USA Today, The New York Times and Yoga Journal. Halpern's recordings are used in hospitals, healing clinics, and leading spas worldwide.

Music for Healing Mind, Body & Spirit was previously released under the title In the Key of Healing

Good sleeping Music. Very calming for the mind. It would go nice with a cup of tea.

This CD was a nice experience. It did seem a little repetative but, all in all, it was good.

When you come home at night, weary and bedraggled from yet another hard day at work and a long commute home, put on this cd. it will refresh your spirit and help it heal. :::::smile:::::

Great meditation CD.......2007-03-12

This is my new "go-to" CD for meditation. I'm a fan of vibrational music for meditation, but sometimes the vibrational CD's can get repetitive and boring. This CD has multiple tracks with variety in the music, but with calming vibrationals in the background. Good for meditation, guided imagery, yoga, or great background music for reading.

Sound Medicine: Music for Healing.......2007-01-04

Following a suggestion from Candace B. Pert, Ph.D. found in her book "Molecules of Emotion," I decided to look for a relaxation CD to help me fall asleep. Because I also suffer from migraines, the word "healing" in the title of this CD intrigued me. It's still hard to believe, but for the past three months it puts me to sleep so quickly that I've never heard the end of the CD! And if I should wake up in the middle of the night I just turn it on again and fall right back asleep. Amazing!

Chakra Suite the reissue of Spectrum Suite is a wonderful album.
One of the most popular New Age albums of all times. This CD is very good for energy healing and Chakra balancing. Also recommended for Chakra balancing and healing sessions is Healing Vibes by Paradiso.

Steven Halpern is the master of relaxation music. It feels as if he knows the secret code to relaxation. This is the same for all of his meditation CDs. Chakra suite is one of the best CDs in chakra series.

Album Description

Beginning and ending in the sky while touching down everywhere in between, Anael's 4th album is an uncompromising personal invitation into the celestial heavens. The innocent and dreamlike "See Another World," opens the senses, and each subsequent song is a brief stop on her flight. "Till the Womb Gives Birth" explores the mindset of a steadfast, faithful creator searching for the truth; "Trace" recounts our ability to connect with God by simply mirroring a higher set of ideals. As the journey progresses, we sense a newfound sense of assuredness in Anael's outlook, the script of a soul who is starting to uncover a fresh perspective. What keeps it all believable is her everpresent deliberation and questioning, well tempered with a healthy dose of humility.

Culminating with perhaps her finest studio achievement to date, the 11 minute opus "Sky Sent (Disclosure)" gives us a multi-angle vista of an unprecedented event in human history, the uncovering of hidden technologies that have the power to literally transform life on earth.

Through this constant juxtaposition of earthly concerns and human dreams, Anael reveals the multiple resonances of our universe, using a vast array of vibrations all geared towards heightening the listener's awareness. She leads us into the pure silence of the untouchable, the unexplained, the invisible - all while while charming us with her sense of bewilderment at it all. Finally, as she carries us away on her wings to the next destination, we're inclined to believe. These things of which she sings can truly be our reality.

Swept away to another world.......2007-05-11

When I hear the clear, angelic voice of Anael, I think of her as the American/Canadian version of Enya. Like Enya, Anael's songs have a similar sound, feel and texture to them. Unlike Enya, Anael's songs aren't usually nearly as *busy* and are kept sparse in special effects so as to not take away from the natural beauty of Anael's voice. Admittedly, many of the composer, Bradford's works are based on the Roman Catholic Canon. However, some of her lyrics contain references and ideas that are strictly elements of the New Age religion. At times the words can be difficult to understand but even when she sings in other languages than English, one senses the mood and meaning of the song. Not many artists have the ability to bring a listener to tears of unexplainable joy and peace however this is what happens while playing any of Anael's songs. The songs are written to act as adornment to Anael's vocals. Her multi-layering vocal tracks become the lead instrument and the added strings, percussion and synthesizer accompany her, instead of the other way around. She is a joy to listen to and the enhanced CD contains desktop images of Anael while the music video of "Be Still Thy Soul", in MP4 format is a nice bonus for those able to view it. Sporting the same white gown as the cover art, Anael sings "Be Still" while the camera sweeps in and around her as she gently waves the layered linen fabric as if donning wings of an angel. The Gregorian vocal at the end of the final tract make for a nearly picture perfect ending.

My first exposure to Anael was through the CD "Unconditional". In my opinion, "Spiritual Beings..." make the perfect bookend set of CDs for this artist, if one had to chose only two CDs. I am eagerly anticipating hearing her newest release that is beautiful if only for the cover artwork. Put this CD on and you'll be swept away to another world free of the day to day madness. Enjoy this light, cotton candy for the ears!

I LOVE THIS CD!!!.......2007-01-10

I was looking for something spiritual and uplifting, and this is the perfect CD. Anael has an angelic voice -- absolutely beautiful and mesmorizing. The lyrics and music by Bradfield are amazing. I have bought this CD for my friends! I have purchased several of her other CD's, and by far, this is my favorite.

A new age masterpiece!.......2003-10-18

I have been enjoying this divine album for several months already (I live in Canada) and when I came here to Amazon, I couldn't believe that no one had even written a review yet...! So let me take a few moments to share my own, personal thoughts with you. I first discovered Anael's unique artistry with her "Unconditional" album about 2 years ago, and this latest album (her 4th) is among the most compelling, beautiful albums I have ever experienced. I use the word "experience" because with Anael, there is so much more than just the "listening". If you've never heard Anael's voice, let me try and describe it: breathtaking, crystal clear, with a tone so pure it sounds like the guardia angel of heaven. With every word she sings, you can feel the effect on your soul, as though a warm, divine light is fixed upon you, shining down from above. On "Spiritual Beings on a Human Journey" she sings about both the human and spiritual worlds, and how they intertwine with each other. My own personal favorites are track 2, "Till the Womb Gives Birth," track 6 "Trace" (amazing) track 8 "Être Sans Âge" where Anael sings in French and the final one, "Sky Sent (Disclosure)." This song is over 11 minutes long(!) and has 4 distinct musical movements. It's like a mini new age opera, complete with the fascinating story of hidden ET technologies and the importance for mankind to reveal them. I think that even if this were the only song on the album, I would be satisfied - it's just that special. In terms of packaging, the people at Anael's record label spare no expense and it really makes for a feast of the senses. The album comes in a cardboard style case that opens up twice and contains gorgeous angel paintings, all arranged conceptually to match the lyrics from the song "Sky Sent". There`s even a 24 page color booklet with all of the words plus more photos. I have played this album in countless therapy sessions and my clients usually end up asking me where they can buy their own copy. I urge you gently to discover it for yourself. As one of my patients told me: "Anael`s music very simply changed my life."

Album Description

This is Snatam Kaur's latest release and it is a joy to behold. Snatam has woven a magnificent tapestry of Gurmukhi, English, violin, guitar and flute and produced an album that is both spiritually moving and foot tapping at the same time.

Like every Kundalini Yoga class, the album begins with the chant Ong Namo and unfolds with Snatam's flawless voice dancing over gentle flute, Indian violin, nylon string guitar and subtle keyboard. She weaves in devotional English lyrics such that one experiences the essence of the Gurmukhi chant with simple clarity.

With deeply-moving music composed jointly by Thomas Barquee and Snatam Kaur, the second track, Ray Man, seduces listeners into a state of sublime meditation. The lyrics translate to "Oh my mind, practice yoga in this way."

The third track, Hari Har, is the liveliest song Snatam has ever recorded. A fast-paced, drum-filled mantra that gets you up on your feet, this track introduces us to a much stronger side of Snatam's vocals.

The next track, a simple and beautiful version of the healing meditation Ra Ma Da Sa, is accompanied by slow and soft classical guitar and keyboards with the flavor of a lazy river, gently flowing by on a summer afternoon.

The final two tracks reveal the true cross-over nature of this album. Both in English, they are two songs very near to Snatam's heart. The first, By Thy Grace, has been a favorite at her live performances over the last year. This track sheds light on the title of the album, opening with the line "It is by the Grace that I sing Your Holy Name." Closing with an original composition of the Irish blessing, May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You … a sweet and grace-filled farewell prayer.

Great as yoga music.......2007-02-11

I heard this music during my yoga class at the local recreation center and asked the instructor what it was. I then purchased it on Amazon and have been listening to it in the car and at home. My daughter even listens to it before going to bed to wind down. I love the first song particularly and the title song.

Angelic Voice that brings me peace and calmness.......2006-12-23

I had no idea if I would like this CD and Singer, but now that I have recieved the CD, her voice is so smooth and sweet as honey, calming, peaceful, and makes me feel like everything is good in the world. It's great for relaxing to, background music, massage, yoga, driving, and graceful or slow flow-like dancing. It would be good as a cool-down music after a good work-out too. If it were sound track to a movie, it would be great for beautiful landscape or the uplifting feel good end of a movie when everything turned out the way you were hoping it would. My husband is very sound-sensative and auditorily tuned-in, and remarked, "Her voice is beautiful!" He says the about very few voices. I am glad I took the chance on this CD, and don't regret it at all. I will definately order some more of her CDs, now that I hear how great she is. I am pleased with my purchas!

Grace.......2006-04-05

Lyrical and lovely, I find myself humming these as I walk into the pasture to bring in my horse. What a wonderful way to meditate!

Snatam Kaur Khalsa.......2006-01-14

Devine beauty delivered in a soul revitalizing blend of eastern and western harmonics. She is even better live if you get a chance to see her.

Divine Perfection - A Soundtrack for my Life.......2005-03-27

With an extensive music library, I find myself returning almost exclusively to Snatam Kaur. I have every one of her CD's on constant rotation in my home, car, and office. Not only do I absolutely love listening, meditating, and living to her music. But I've come to realize that I operate from a better and more loving place when I have her playing in the background while at my demanding and high-profile job in the corporate offices of a fortune 50 company.

With so much gratitude, thank you Snatam for becoming the soundtrack to my life.

One of the fundamental criticisms of New Age music is that it puts people to sleep. Here, Steven Halpern, one of the founding fathers of New Age, makes that his mission and, as you might expect, does an effective job of it. Drawing on catalog material from the early 1980s, Halpern builds an attractive collection of delicate, lighter-than-air sonic textures that nicely serves the intended purpose--to fill the silence with something prettier than white noise. Halpern does so by blending electric and acoustic piano, plus additional keyboards, to create soothing, improvisational, cloudlike musical abstractions that often convey the tranquil randomness of wind chimes in a soft breeze. The liner notes also promise your subconscious will be exposed to a series of subliminal, sleep-encouraging affirmations along the quiet, unstructured way. This may sound like so much frou-frou to the unconverted, but for anyone sincerely interested in a sleep aid, Halpern's disc is a certified snoozer, a New Age music box. Other New Age discs may accomplish the same purpose as Sleep Soundly, but few will do it as persuasively. --Terry Wood

not sleepy enough.......2007-03-02

Too repetative, made me want to speed up the Brahams lullaby. Just made me agitated. However my 8 yr. old daught listens to it many nights a bedtime and loves it. I like his Chakra CD much better and find it more relaxing.

Great CD For Falling Asleep.......2007-02-09

We have purchased several CDs to help us sleep, but this one is by far the best. My husband and I was able to fall asleep pretty much before the first track is finished or at most the beginning of the second track. I don't think I can even recall what the third track sounds like... It plays Brahms Lullaby in several versions (trio, duet, solo) along with some other songs, but it does it in a way that is very soothing.
I have strongly recommended the CD to other family members and my collegues.

ZZzzzzz is right!.......2007-01-13

During the first 5 minutes I told myself this is rediculous how is this going to get me to sleep?

Well after another 5 minutes I checked out and went straight to dreamland.
I woke up refreshed and full of energy. I always suffered from not being able to fall asleep, worrying about little things. The cd is great, I can't hear my own thoughts.
I'm a dj and since using this cd my ears are no longer tired and I can mix my music properly. Love it

works wonderfully for the little ones too.......2007-01-12

We have had trouble with our 2 year old staying in bed. She seems to think night time is a good time to bounce off the walls :) We started playing this CD and within 2 nights she was sleeping soundly without trouble. She shares a room with her 4 year-old sister who loves the CD as well. She will ask to have it played every night. It is very soothing background music.

A Krishna Das/Chalisa Lovers Delight In A Great Package .......2007-06-27

The CD KD has been destined to make since he found Maharaji! Great audio quality, terrific liner notes and SIX versions of the Chelisa plus "Where'd You Get That Ring?". And a great pronunciation guide that I've been wanting for years. Jai krishna Das!

Music to Make Your Heart Happy.......2007-06-21

There's something special about the Hanuman Chalisa. Maybe the way it seems to flow, unbroken reminding us that every part of life is joined to every other; maybe the sweet sound of ancient words. It never grows old. Even so, I wondered whether I needed *six* more versions, plus a repeat of the previously recorded "Ring Song."

I needn't have worried. This CD has leapt to the top of my commuting favorites, and I expect it will stay there permanently. The arrangements are sweet and varied and full of energy.

Sri Ram Chalisa is sung call as call and (sri Ram jai Ram) response - a boon to those of us who like to sing along but haven't mastered all the words .

Hallelujah Chalisa has a beautiful traditional flowing (when does he breathe?) arrangement.

Good Ole Chalisa is KD's traditional Chalisa tune, sung in a heart-warming choral style.

Nina Chalisa is a lilting, faintly medieval, all-female chorus.

Mountain Chalisa is another sweet, more traditional arrangement.

Bernie's Chalisa - my favorite - is a slightly slower, sweet, uplifting choral arrangement with phrasing that seems to make it easier to memorize the words (I'm six lines in ).

The Ring Song is a great new arrangement of the charming story of Hanuman finding the kidnapped Mother Sita, given a slightly less "rock and role" treatment than the one recorded on "Pilgrim Heart," but still lots of fun.

The second CD has two spoken versions of the Chalisa for those of us who aspire eventually to learn the words - one a slow complete recitation, the other - even slower -has each line repeated twice. My only small complaints are (a) I would have liked a slow version set to music, which makes memorization easier and (b) Driving would be safer if each line (or pair of lines) had been recorded as a separate track. That would have saved a lot of trouble searching through the disc while practicing.

Music, inspiration, an (optional) "workshop" in chant, and bliss all packaged into one CD. Krishna Das has truly offered us a masterpiece of grace.

Amazing!.......2007-05-24

This CD is truly amazing! No one can sing the Hanuman Chalesa like Krishna Das. Every variation of this song is beautiful and the additional CD of pronunciation is incredibly helpful for those of us who would like to learn how to sing along with Krishna Das' incredible voice. Every time I play this CD during one of my yoga classes, I have students asking for the name of the CD at the end of class. This CD moves me to my soul every time I listen to it. Even my five-year old tells me that listening to his CD "makes his heart happy". This is a must-have CD!

Picture a square with Clannad, pianist David Lanz, Mannheim Steamroller, and the musicians of Riverdance at its corners. Somewhere within those stylistic borders you will encounter the European duo Secret Garden. The popular twosome--Irish violinist Fionnuala (fi-NOO-la) Sherry and Norwegian pianist/keyboardist Rolf Lovland--have attracted a sizable following with their heart-touching specialty: a wistful, violin-rooted, pop-folk-classical melange that often strikes the ear as a film score in search of some delicate romantic tale. Songs from a Secret Garden is the duo's debut recording from 1995, and it principally offers a series of pensive dialogues between Sherry's stately violin and Lovland's subdued piano, yielding equal measures of sweetness and melancholy. Whistles, pipes, percussion, strings, and ethereal voices serve as embellishments. At times you may sense you're being serenaded by strolling musicians with a heavy sentimental streak; at other times you may feel genuinely moved--perhaps by something as lovely as the reverential "Sigma" and its sublime, Gregorian-like choral passages. Only one uptempo tune, "The Rap," surfaces here; a few others would have been welcomed. And yes, this is the disc where you will find "Heartstrings," the composition that once smote Barbra Streisand's heart. She eventually acquired the rights to the piece, inserted lyrics, renamed it "I've Dreamed of You" (found on A Love Like Ours), and sang it to James Brolin during the couple's 1998 wedding. --Terry Wood

Oh, Wow! This is a cd that will be liked by all who enjoy M E H D I, E N Y A or even Loreena Mckinnett. It is the very essence of good new age. So tranquil, yet so spirited, this cd is a refreshing break from my well-worn collection, I just keep wanting to listen to it over and over again. I am amazed!

I first heard this CD in a Meditation class. The haunting Celtic melodies of this CD are very relaxing and set a very quiet, calming mood. I can't wait to buy more from this group.

Soothing Music, Food for the soul.......2007-02-09

Like most who stumbled on this beautiful CD, I bought the CD because the CD shop selling it happened to be playing it - and I was immediately captivated and deeply touched by it. It is like a breathe of freshness in the sands of commerce, a clear pond of tranquil water that reflects your soul and yet it is so deep in emotions...pulling your heart strings. Its fragile, naked and angelic...yet it is so sincere.
I enjoy MEHDl, Enya, Loreena Mckinnett, David Foster etc. But this a beautiful and rare production that I enjoy a tad more.

Beautiful & romantic Waltz music.......2007-01-23

The songs on this collection are all very beautiful. My favorite is the "Ode to Spring," an enchanting melody one cannot forget. I can listen to this CD over and over again. I bought two additional copies for my friends and have made another copy so that I can play it in my car.

Ram Ram Ram Ram .......2007-03-28

Another wonderful set of cd's from Krishna Das. The chanting is beautiful, the music sublime...It doesn't get any better than this. Another beautiful CD from a Master. My fiance and I have gotten addicted to Krishna Das & listen to his CD's every morning. You can't explain perfection.....you just listen and enjoy.

moving into peace.......2007-01-19

I own a yoga studio and teach several times a week. Krishna Das' music is always a favorite, but this CD in particular is perfect for a lively, upbeat yoga practice. My students connect with the beat, helping them move smoothly through the poses, connecting with their breath. As the chants become slower, more meditative, the practice also begins to slow. It is a wonderful transition for any yoga class. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful!.......2007-01-10

This is my first experience with Krishna Das. I've enjoyed listening to this CD very much. I feel calm during and after I listen to the beautiful voices.

greatest hits krishna das.......2007-01-10

A great package with the bonus dvd.The music is sublime and lets you be taken away with the chants.The bonus dvd is as equally impressive with a visually enthusiastic crowd totally involved in building some chants to spine tingling conclusions....highly recommended.

Mantram is Ravi Shankar's effort to set Sanskrit chants from ancient Hindu scriptures to music, and the result is a captivating mix of chant and music. Produced by George Harrison, this collection of mantras and prayers from the Vedas, Upanishads, and other scriptures powerfully transports the listener to a place of peace where it's possible to be one with the universe. It's as if a heavy, enveloping cloak of serenity falls from the dark, floating sounds of cello opening the CD. Shankar employs flute, tamboura, harp, and other instruments to accent the mighty "Om" thread that weaves itself through the cloth of this album, bringing together deep, ominous voices with delicate, earthly instruments. One looking for extensive Shankar sitar might be disappointed, but the beauty of this artist's creativity and spiritual vision sweeps one away into a larger, more meaningful listening experience. Highly recommended. --Karen Karleski

Soul of Indian classical music - True Gem.......2007-08-06

The CD contains most devoted Hindu vedic mantras with very immersive and soul filling Indian classical music.
The vedic mantras in CD traces back to more than 5000 years Vedas, there is lot of valuable information over internet.
A true masterpiece in Indian classical music.

Classy Indian Chants.......2007-07-24

This is an excellent reproduction of some of the religious chants in the Indian classical music tradition. The recitation and diction is clear and quite precise. A great introduction to religious chants for a novice taking interest in Indian classical music.

Authentic Hindu Chants.......2007-06-14

This is the perfect CD for the beginner who wants to learn Hindu chanting. The words to each song are included in the jacket. The words are easy to understand for the most part given the complexity of the language. And most importantly, the music is hauntingly beautiful. I knew this was a winner when I saw Harrison as producer.

George and Ravi combine worship and melody for a one-of-akind experience.......2007-05-04

Ravi Shankar and George Harrison are two of this world's greatest composers and musicians, so it makes sense that a unified effort would be incredible. It is, but not just because of these two men... To backtrack a little, my Mom and Dad first bought this CD when I was about five; it had George Harrison's name under the word producer and (I think) they were beginning to be interested in the Hindu faith. In those days, and for many years, I had no idea what the words they were saying meant. I was simply captivated by the repeated, strange phrases and the beautiful music they were set to. The music is still one of my favorite parts of the CD and without it, the CD would barley be half of what it is, but now being much older I have had the opportunity to delve into the booklet inside the CD case. These words, whether traditional or written by Ravi Shankar are a beauty in and of themselves. Each one prays for spiritual enlightenment, better knowledge of a diety or knowledge and wisdom in general. The recurring theme of peace and safty/tranquility among all things is also welcome. An example of this earnest praying is "O,Lord lead me from the unreal to the real. Lead me from the darkness to the light [from ignorance to knowledge]. Lead me from death to immortality. May there be peace, peace and perfect peace" ( from track 4, Asato Maa.) Also to be carefully headed are those chants which dwell proper human action, such as "You have but the right to perform action; you have no hold on the results thereof. May you not seek the rewards of action and may you never engage in wrong action.[This is not an excuse for inaction!" ( track 9, Geetaa.) There are other varied but always interesting chants here: instructions by a guru or teacher for his students (track 3, Vedic Chanting One), chants praising certain gods, and most fascinating of all, chants wishing for peace and tranquility. These such as Mangalam (track 11) and Sarve Shaam (track 16 and a huge favorite), combined with beautiful instrumental interludes (those who have seen 'Concert for George' may be reminded of Arpan), and the exquisite instrumentation and production by George Harrison (rest in Son of Hari!) come together to make a sublime and deep, enlightening musical experience. This truly a gorgeous album, incredible to listen to (though to get it just for the beatiful instruments, or the name of the producer for that matter, would be to miss the point.) If I tried to list favorites I'd probably end up listing the whole album. Here are a few highlights: Vandanaa Trayee, the opening track and a beautiful combination of introductory music, three sepearte prayers and interludes, tracks 3 and 14, the two vedic chants, Mangalam, a prayor for peace, and the similar Sarve Shaam, Asato Maa, tracks 5, 7, and 8 (7/8 CAN get repetative after a while,12 and 13 ( atmospheric intstrumental trackss), Geetaa, and a Ravi Shankar original Prabhujee. This, track 15 of 16, is a wondefully melodic, well-produced and warming, beautiful prayer for divine enlightenment and is worth a good listen. Track 2 has an interesting concept to it as well. All in all, this album is a wonderful buy for those interested in Hindu chants, beatuiful music or just spritual enlightenment. Well produced, beautiful instruments, deep, depth-filled chants- what more can the open minded listen want!? 5/5. Om shaantih, Shaantih, Shaantih [Amen; May there be peace, peace and perfect peace.]

uplifting.......2007-04-06

Very peaceful and relaxing music. I got it because I am a George Harrison fan and have seen both George and Ravi Shankar in concert. I also wanted to experience more indian religous music.
