About the Artist
Paula Gilbert, one of the main artists and the producer of the album, tells her spiritual story of how the album was made. Paula is a performance artist, songwriter and teacher who founded the California Cloverdale School of Music in 1994. After 9/11 she attended a Shamanic (Native American) mask making class that she had been attending every year for the past 7 years. The purpose of the class was to create a vision for the following shamanic year which begins each year in November. In the class, the participants worked together with a facilitator to create their vision through several guided meditations and journaling. The class took place late in October following the attack on America. During one of her meditations she had a vision. Paula says, I became fluid and went into the earth. I saw myself dressed as a bear going around a table with children. I also saw a stone mouse from my Mother’s table that we had made together up in the mountains when I was young. Then I saw birds flying through the light above me and I felt the Bear merge with me and tell me that he would be there to help me with strength in the coming year. Then the bear said we would need some birds for spirituality and a blue bird with a black head appeared and told me to gather the chants from all over the world, especially Afghanistan and to put them on a CD for healing and prayer. There were other parts to the vision telling her to use not just her own renditions but also to do the research and to include a chant for the children and the soldiers. After the class, Paula went home with her mask and began the research and started collecting the chants. She told her mother about her vision and her mother offered to help out. She wanted as many chants from different cultures and languages and possible. Once she had collected several chants, on December 16, 2001 the recording began at Joe Hoffmann Studios in Occidental, California. Paula Gilbert, with Tory Rotlisberger and Mal Tornay (members of her Papa Divas Band) started off the recording with their beautiful rendition of Sri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai, Ram Om which means I am, you are, we are one. The recording continued on December 30th in a beautiful mansion on top of a hill in Sonoma County with a large group of people including musician Zackary Miller from the 5 A.M. Band on dijiridu (one of the oldest instruments on the planet). Mal Tornay again brought his wonderful drumming ability along with his daughter, a beautiful singer, Elise Tornay. Katy Ketchum an artist from Sebastopol brought her healing voice and impeccable piano playing and her husband Mike, a poet, who also added to the vocal team. Performance artist, Tory Rotlisberger again brought her healing voice along with her friends and vocalists Joanna Noble, Karen Wallace and John Faulkner. Rick Mariani of Wolf Coffee with his twin sons Nicolas and Mitchell added their vibrant vocal mix as well. Paula’s family also participated in this recording session, with her Mother, Pat Gear, two Brothers, Karl and Rodney Sanchez, her sister-in-law Bethany Sanchez and her niece, Crystal Sanchez. Paula remembers, It was a great healing adventure to all sing together. I remember it was pouring rain outside. It was like the skies were raining all the tears of grief we felt for the victims of the 9/11 attack. The spiritual adventure of creating this CD continued with several other recording sessions adding more cultures and more voices. Performance artist Lisamarie Kirkess added a beautiful, healing Quan Yin chant to represent the Far East. Carol Levy offered her beautiful vocal with two Jewish chants. Jamie Lampert, Chelsea Thompson and Quincy Wise, all students of Paula’s, added their vocals to the children’s chant, Funga Alafia. Then in March of 2002 Paula happened to meet Hans Jurgen Kary (Hansadutta dasa) through her good friend and teacher Jim Seymour and the adventure continued. Hansadutta, a Swami from the Hare Krishna faith offered a complete Kirtan (India
Product Description
This has been a good year for Chanting for Healing and Prayer. This is our first experience of selling an album and thus far it has been a success story.The charities were chosen by the album participants and when you buy an album online you can select a specific charity to receive your donation of leave that area blank and your donation will be split between all five charities.
Overall, I don't know if I will really listen to this again. I would prefer something that is more restful and contemplative. While the musicians sound like they are having fun, the result is a bit too rowdy and unconnected to use for meditation.
