   The high chanteuse of chant, Deva Premal is a pillar of originality in the grand garden of Indian music. You might say that she's to Sanskrit Mantras what Enya is to Celtic music. This is one of the most intoxicating albums of Sanskrit chant available.

|  |    This album offers a four part suite based on the "Hare Krishna" chant. Each part of the suite has subtle differences in terms of theme. For example, "Township Krishna" features African percussion and instrumentation mixed with kirtan chanting. Other influences incorporated into the album include pop/rock, Western classical and Western-oriented Indian music.

   An album of free flowing synthesizer atmospheres laced with high frequency theta waves, planetary frequencies and natural sounds, as well as flute and vocal textures.

|  |    Krishna Das presents music that remains true to the dignified traditions of Bhatki Yoga, yet at the same time incorporates contemporary Western grooves to provide a form of Indian chant that is universally accessible. With drums, sitar, guitars, vocals and synthesizer, this music evokes the diverse spiritual life of the people, land and culture of India.

   Three tracks of absolutely wonderful ethereal music especially suitable for trance meditation practices.

|  |    BREATH OF THE HEART features Krishna Das' tried and true blend of music - Indian tablas and harmonium mixed together with Western instrumentation like guitar, cello and violin. This is a harmonically pleasing, life-affirming offering of chant music.

   The overall feel of the album is dreamy and relaxed with a spiritual flair, making it great for yoga, meditation and other quiet, introspective activities.

|  |    THE SPIRIT OF REIKI entwines soaring keyboard and flute melodies with the gentle strains of the violin, the crystalline beauty of a bell rung every three minutes and the soothing sounds of the sea

   The solo drumming is in the classic mode by Michael Harner using a single-headed, round-frame, hand drum. The double drumming, which some journeyers prefer, is also by Michael Harner, assisted by David Corbin.

|  |    REIKI OFFERING features exactly one hour of sublime, flowing atmospheres that naturally put the mind and body at ease. Multi-instrumentalists Shastro and Nadama are the artists behind this powerfully soothing music. Together they weave the subtle sounds of flute, piano, guitar, ethereal keyboard textures and oscillating synthesizer moods to create a space of peace and introspection.

   Unified, driving, shamanic journey drumming by the four Bridgewalker Drummers using cottonwood double-headed round-frame drums. The disciplined drumming in unison produces a full range of the auditory spectrum. The CD offers the opportunity to program 15 to 30 minute multiple drumming sessions with callback.

|  |    SACRED HEALING TOUCH, from composer of healing arts music Sayama, is a serene, comforting album of natural-sounding music for use with massage, Reiki and other therapeutic practices. The music is very meditative in nature, comprised of koto, shakuhachi flute and temple bowls.

   Groban's strength lies in the way his voice can be simultaneously bombastic yet tender, with a silky smoothness that many of his contemporaries lack. AWAKE sets the tenor against a rousing orchestral backdrop, with the occasional electric guitar during a crescendo to add punch. Special guests Ladysmith Black Mambazo add their rich polyphony to "Lullaby" and "Weeping," while Herbie Hancock lends his talents to the concluding track, "Machine".

|  |    On this 2 CD program, Caroline Myss instructs listeners on how to integrate her revolutionary work with the human energy system into their daily lives. Featuring a series of exercises and two complete 40-minute meditations (one for morning and one for evening), listeners are presented with a step-by-step program that will help them recognize, cultivate and harness the massive spiritual power we are born with.
