Editorial Reviews

"An impressive work jam-packed with spiritual information [and] put together with love and devotion. Simply reading the information that comes with the disc is as unique an experience as listening to the sounds. A soothing listening experience and worth a visit." - ROLLING STONE

Jonathan Goldman is a world-renowned authority in the field of sound healing who presents lectures, workshops and intensive training sessions around the world. Goldman has been empowered by the Chant Master of the Dalai Lama’s Drepung Loseling Monastery to teach sacred Tibetan overtone chanting. After finding that many of the chakra resonance recordings available were difficult to listen to, Goldman created Chakra Chants, an album that uses authentic and gloriously rich harmonic sound ripe with deeply resonant overtone chanting for a gentle yet powerful listening experience. Named Best Overall Album and Best Healing/Meditation Album at the 1999 COVR Awards, Chakra Chants remains the best-selling CD of its type. Features an extended booklet that explains, in detail, how the disc resonates and aligns the energy centers of the body in addition to how it may be used as a self-healing and meditation tool, a sonic environment, and a self-teaching tool to create sounds for greater balance and inner alignment. Also includes a bonus guided visualization, which may be used for enhancing the Chakra Chants experience.

This review is from: Chakra Chants (Audio CD)

Chakra Chants contains seven tracks, each corresponding to one of the chakra points on the human body. Starting with the base chakra and ending with the crown chakra, it is a deeply moving piece of music suitable as a meditation tool, for cleansing and balancing your energy body or just for sheer listening pleasure.

The high quality booklet discusses the subtle body, the chakras and the principles of sonic healing. Each track is made up of the appropriate vowel sound, a bija mantra, an elemental and/or shabd sound and a particular keynote. A thorough and easy-to-practice guided visualization and an explanation of overtones are also provided in the booklet.

Overtones or harmonics are geometric multiples of the first note and represent the "colour" of sound. The human voice harmonics heard here add a deep emotional resonance to the sound. The voices are those of Goldman, Rabbi Shefa Gold, Gwen Tuesday and Lauren Cuggino, and all the instruments are authentic, i.e. no computerized sounds are used.

The result amply rewards the listener in glorious wave upon wave of swirling, uplifting joy. This is a true masterpiece that invites repeated listening and might serve as the ideal soundtrack to various holistic healing practices. Finally, Donald Beaman's cover art combines the Shri Yantra symbol with a square mandala and the human form in a most magnificent way. Chakra Chants is sublime; I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Chakra Chants contains seven tracks, each corresponding to one of the chakras on the human body. Starting with the base chakra (Malkhut in Hebrew /Muladhara in Sanskrit) and ending with the crown chakra (Keter/Sahasrara), it is a deeply moving piece of music suitable as a meditation tool, for cleansing and balancing your energy body, mental healing or just for sheer listening pleasure.

The high quality booklet discusses the subtle body, the chakras and the principles of Sacred Sounds. Each track is made up of the appropriate vowel sound, a bija mantra, an elemental and/or shabd sound and a particular keynote. A thorough and easy-to-practice guided visualization and an explanation of overtones are also provided in the booklet.

Overtones or harmonics are geometric multiples of the first note and represent the "color" of sound. The vocal harmonics heard here add a deep emotional resonance to the sound. The voices are those of Goldman, Rabbi Shefa Gold, Gwen Tuesday and Lauren Cuggino, and all the instruments are authentic, i.e. no computerized sounds are used. The result amply rewards the listener with more than 62 minutes of glorious wave upon wave of swirling, uplifting joy.

This is a true masterpiece that invites repeated listening and might serve as the ideal soundtrack to various holistic healing practices. Finally, Donald Beaman's cover art combines the Shri Yantra symbol with a square mandala and the human form in a most magnificent way. Chakra Chants is sublime; I value it highly. Other recommended works by Goldman include Ultimate Om (the `rolling' Om with overtones) and Holy Harmony which blends a vocal chant with tuning forks attuned to specific healing frequencies.

I wouldn't have believed it, if I hadn't experienced this cd myself. The sounds seem to be in tune with some very deep level of energy. I have listened to this while meditating, but beware if you lie down and close your eyes you may fall asleep it is so relaxing. Besides meditating it helps with insomnia and also puts my 2 year old granddaughter right to sleep.

I would highly recommend this for yoga practice and meditation, it is the best I have experienced.
