Thomas Barquee may be mostly known for his works with Snatam Kaur, beautiful music in the vein of Deva Premal. But here he has taken a quantum leap into more deep and influencial meditative music.

In the centre of this delicate album is the gorgous voice of Ashana and her finely tuned, deep resonating crystal bowls. Supplemented with electronics and some discreetly used Indian instruments like the esraj and the santoor.

The CD is composed like a journey through the chakras, refelected both in the use of certain root-mantras/sounds and in the changes of pitch.

Ideally suited for healing, meditation, relaxation for anyone who wants beauty and depth in their musical accompaniment.

Of ALL my albums...this one is one of my UTMOST FAVORITES. The hypnotic low drone in the background will LULL you into a dreamlike trance! The NICE thing though...is eventhough there is an almost constant background...it is NOT one that you get sick of. I can hear these songs OVER and OVER and OVER again... When I play my music mix...I always LOVE it when I end my massages with THESE songs....SOOOO DREAMY! This album is worth EVERY PENNY! :)

I received this cd as a Christmas present. I had seen a video of Ashana's work before and had expressed an interest in it, putting it on my facebook wall and that. So a dear friend knew it was something that would bring me joy. Well, it brought me much joy yes...and so much peace!!! Oh My Goodness, how peaceful it is! It created such a peaceful atmosphere in my home over Christmas. I won't cook without it ha ha! I even did the housework this morning with it..it is so grounding, so centering, so beautiful...Thank you, dear sweet Ashana, and thank you Thomas Barquee...

I absolutely love this CD. It is wonderful. I use it all the time with massage, energy workk and meditations. I highly recommend this CD.All my friends love it as well.

Wow after suffering from insomnia not being
able to sleep more than an hour without waking
up. I am finally sleeping, usually waking only once a night.
I have tried many things to sleep, such as
Sleeping pills and sedatives but nothing helps
As much as listening to this cd before bed.

This is an incredible CD - perfect for meditation and to go to sleep with. I'd recommend this CD for anyone wanting to quiet the mind while being uplifted in the purity of sound energetics

This is one of the most relaxing and uplifting CDs I have in my collection. I love it. It is great for bodywork sessions.

Ashana has truly created not only the best Crystal singing bowl CD, but culminated the sound with her voice. I listen to it several times a week to fall asleep with, but I would imagine someone with a child may like this to play in a nursery. Calms the nerves, soothes the soul.
Highest recommendation I could possibly give!

This CD is amazing. Beautiful vocals with crystal singing bowls. Peaceful and deeply relaxing. Magnifico!

The music flows, I am surrounded by beauty as I meditate on the purity and Love Of GOD. Healing and strengthening to my chakras. Ashana allows the love within her to become the song dancing out from her innermost depths of the soul.
