Music Meditation: Awaken

Editorial Reviews
From the Artist
"Personally, I believe meditation should be enlightening and inspiring so I try to make the music that way. The music should reflect joy because in the best meditations that is what is felt. I write meditation music while I am meditating. I find that, just like following the movements of a dance teacher, following music performed in a meditative state can bring the listener to an experience of peace and joy quite easily, without years of practice and discipline." - Brian Scott Bennett

Customer Reviews:

Very calming and relaxing drumming.......2007-05-08

This is a very nice CD when I put it in to play my whole house relaxed and clamed down and just listened very nice. The drumming is fantatsic, but if you do not like native american flutes not a CD for you in some parts of the CD the flutes are very loud. But I really enjoy this CD.

Drum Medicine.......2007-01-12

I really enjoy both CD's Sacred Spirit Drums and Drum Medicine. I live in an area of very little resource for this type of purchase- I was very happy to find what I wanted online- also very glad to be able to listen before I purchased- would not have bought them without that. Service was the best- shipping was also very good.. I will consider this type of purchase again when needed.

Awesome Drum CD.......2006-07-13

This CD is awesome I have it in my car now and that is all I play.

Drum Medicine rocks........2006-03-11

This is the best cd for playing along with drums or dancing up a storm.

Incredible - can this be the work of two white men?????.......2005-09-01

You have to listen to this CD to believe it. I hear the Native American flute, drums .... it's one incredible CD. I bought it to learn to drum but enjoy listening to it just for relaxation, trance states, etc. This is superb!

HORRIBLE! Hip Hoppy, Jazz Improv style to chants sucks!.......2007-08-04

The real reason I bought this was because I'm a big Steven Halpern fan and all of his stuff is great; who knew this Lama Surya Das (Long Island boy) would mess this CD up. I never return cds but this was so lousy I am most definitely returning it. A waste of my time, listening and most importantly ENERGY.

Average but ok.......2007-06-20

I liked one main song, but the thing i didn't like was the fact that theres about 5 songs and the track listed as having 13 songs. Its just a repeat of the same songs. Its kind of disappointing... But the sound is great. I just wish there were more mantras on the sound track...

Great CD.......2005-08-23

This is a CD of Lama Surya Das chanting in Tibetan over Steve Halpern's beats. Don't know what to say except that if you like this kind of thing, this is an excellent CD. I have listened to it many times at home and in the car. It will put you int a meditative state listening and singing along to the chants. Love it.

Chants, not just for breakfast anymore ...........2005-05-29

This is a great cd to listen to in the car on the way to or from work or any other stressful engagement requiring chill time. Ok its got an American twist and yes Lama Surya Das is after all an American Lama. He's a gift to us all in the land of SUV's, faster cheaper better and Super sized everything.

I Love It.......2004-03-04

Track 3 (Female Buddha Tara's Mantra) and 4 (Seven Line Prayer) are my absolute favorites on this unusual & unique CD. Sure it's a bit different from the common sounds we might be accustomed to hearing in the category we are obviously pursuing here: Buddhist chants and music. But different isn't bad. Not that tradition is not good to stick to, but occasionally it is nice to hear a bright and new example of these ancient chants. I personally found this entire CD to be a terrific companion to meditation at times, and the opening track "Jewel and the Lotus Sutra" has such a wonderful rhythm to it. I mean, I don't recommend listening to music every time you sit down to meditate, but occasionally it's a nice and calming experience to be had. So here is one reviewer who is kind of amazed by all of the bad reviews this CD is getting. This CD has a "healing" effect in some senses, a trait commonly associated with mantras and Tibetan lamas. Stephen Halpern brings to the table his unique style of "healing sound" for us. Sure it has a hip-hop feel, but it's done extremely well! I hope you enjoy it and are willing to give this a try.

Transcendental, Mystical Soul Explorations.......2006-12-29

This is my first Aeoliah CD, and I was not disappointed. I heard track 5, "Shamballa" on my cable TV on 932, Soundscapes (commercial free music), and I knew that I had to have it. Each track focuses on a specific area of the body, and I found it very relaxing, and incredibly arousing when I was talking with my lover. It makes unsurpassed background music. "Shamballa" is absolutely heavenly. At night, when I need to go to sleep fast, I put the headphones and REPEAT on, and three hours later I had already felt relaxed, refreshed and rejuvinated. I only found the CD at Silver Platters, no one else carried it, I'm just glad it was in stock. The reverbent sounds of angelic synthesized chords, the ringing bells, cellos and flute delicately in the background make "The Seven Chakras" one of the premier ambient relaxation compositions of our time. It is also fantastic while giving and receiving massages, relieving stress and renewing the mind, and really makes one glad to feel alive. Outstanding value, a must have for the discreet, intellectual listener.

Better Breathing Through Music.......2006-12-28

I was playing cards on my computer in one room and listening to music coming from the music channel on my TV in another when I suddenly realized my breathing had changed dramtically. I felt relaxed and peaceful for the first time in years. After a few moments of concentration, I realized my breathing rhythm matched the rhythm of the music coming from my TV. I immediately raced to track down and purchase this amazing product. It has enhanced my life dramatically.

Not what I was expecting.......2004-01-12

I picked this up in a store because of the subtitle (Crystal Illumination). I thought this was a CD of crystal singing bowls. This CD was meant to be added to others that I use for qigong and meditation, however I found it inappropriate because of sudden, louder music that startled me. If you are looking for some meditation music I recommend looking elsewhere. Two chakra CDs I like are Paul Baker's "The Ladder of the Soul" (relaxing); and Layne Redmond's "Chanting the Chakras." (energizing).

A gift to doing Yoga at home.......2007-07-27

I have been using the Empower CD for the past 2 years. I compliment the routine with other postures, for a more advanced workout. This CD has a voice and music that lets you relax. It is a great foundation for any level. This CD has benefited my life of home Yoga.

Beware.......2006-12-19

The Breathe CD is a duplicate of the Empower CD. I love both the Empower and Enlighten practices but am totally bummed out that there is a problem with the Breathe CD. If all 3 CD were as advertized, this would be an excellent value.

DiVine Yoga,.......2006-08-21

This is a lovely and well rounded yoga practice and I am so happy to have this in my yoga collection. There are three cd's, each one is a different practice.

The first cd is pranayama (breathing exercises). I don't use that one very often but a few months ago I injured my shoulder and had to take a break from the physical practice, I did this pranayama exercise every day for a couple weeks and I felt wonderful, relaxed and clean. I also believe it helped my shoulder heal faster!

The second cd is titled Enlighten and is supposed to be a more gentle phscal practice. This is a good exercise for those that haven't exercised in a while or for those days when you are tired and or sore from the previous days workout. I always feel relaxed and refreshed after this.

The third cd is titled Empower and is meant to be a strong practice. This practice is the one I do the most, I just love it! it seems to be based in ashtanga and would be a good workout for someone who hasn't quite been able to do the whole primary series. I really feel I am able to work on my breath in this exercise, the poses seem to be held for the right amount of time. I just don't get enough of a workout if it moves too fast. I like how you need to move gracefully and with strength in each pose for example, slowly lifting your legs together from halasana (plow) to shoulder stand. this workout is not the strongest I have, if I want a really strong one I do David Swenson primary series or put together a workout with Shiva Rea's Yoga Shakti. I keep coming back to this though, I feel so good after I do it.

Ateeka has a lovely warm calming voice and uses beautiful imagery in the poses. She definitely is spiritual about her yoga which I don't mind. I like to hear what inspires or how a teacher feels about their yoga, it doesn't mean you have to feel the same way, it is just another perspective and can help you see things in a new way. I would recommend this to seasoned yoga practitioners and beginners who are taking classes as there is not a lot of instuction on alignment.

Namaste

Outstanding.......2005-06-11

These CDs are an excellent substitute for a live teacher, especially for those who may be new to the practice. Ateeka's voice and style are nurturing and easy to follow, with a perfect amount of "coaching". Her focus on getting out of our practice what we need "today" is especially useful for fighting any obsessions with perfection.

I have a few other "virtual" teachers in my library, but she's the one I return to most often.

Beware - Manufacturing problem.......2005-05-06

Great cd from what I could tell. I ordered and reordered Divine flow directly from amazon three times and from an outside retailer with the same manufacturing problem on all four cds. The problem is that the enlighten yin vinyasa cd is a duplicate of the meditation cd.

Music to Awaken Superconsciousness will change your life. The hidden mechanism at work behind intuition, spiritual and physical healing, successful problem solving, and finding deep, lasting joy, superconscious awareness is the missed link to living richer, more meaningful lives. Each of the twenty-three instrumental selections on this album expresses a different aspect of superconsciousness, helping you to more easily access this state of higher awareness.

Detailed instruction in the liner notes will allow you to actively use each selection to feel the many benefits of superconscious awareness, or you can simply use this album as background music for relaxation and meditation.

Keyboards, harp, cello, violin, tamboura, and other instruments combine to create a lush, beautiful, and utterly enchanting listening experience that will leave you feeling relaxed, uplifted, and inspired.

Better than average new age music.......2004-03-01

New age music in general promise a lot and fails in delivery. This CD is an amazing exeption to the rule. The different melodies on this CD really affect me in different ways. Waking up different parts of my mind. Some make me melancholy, some make me pensive. I have it on at low volume at work and I feel it enhances my well being and productivity.

Absolutely wonderful!.......2003-04-13

This album is wonderful to listen to when doing chores around the house, relaxing, practicing yoga or even reading. The music is uplifting, and brings a sense of peace. The more I listen to it, the more I love it! A definitely worthwhile investment!!
