About the Artist

Russill’s musical sensibilities began to evolve as a child and later in the world of contemporary film music. He took a detour from his musical career to live as a monk in a monastery in South India for five years where he practiced this ancient art form. He now performs lectures and teaches worldwide.

Product Description

SHAKTI YOGA Russill Paul

Yoga! The word evokes images of people gracefully holding their bodies in positions of masterful flexibility. But alongside this familiar Yoga practice of movement and meditation is an ancient Yoga of sound largely unknown in the West, whose goal is to awaken dormant powers of the mind through the use of music and chant.

The YOGA OF SOUND SERIES will initiate you into this ancient science, and will introduce you to the path of using sound to facilitate emotional balance, vitality, freedom from stress, and an expanded sense of one’s inner space.

SHAKTI YOGA introduces you to the 1500-year-old Tantric tradition of using sacred sound to stimulate the flow of the body’s subtle energy centers, called chakras. Balancing your chakras by singing specific Tantric chants enhances your senses, heightens sensuality and physical pleasure, and helps you to establish a deep connection to your physical body and to the earth. Russill Paul masterfully blends the tremendous power of these ancient chants with an ensemble of traditional Indian and contemporary instrumentation.

SHAKTI YOGA is a sensual and energizing listening experience. You can delve even deeper into this tradition and actually begin chanting these powerful mantras along with the recording. The enclosed instructions will teach you the actual Shakti mantras as well as meditation techniques to help you gain the most benefit from this unique practice.

If you practice yoga and you want the ideal music to do it with, almost anything by Russill Paul fills the bill. I've done hatha yoga over the years and started doing kundalini yoga 5 months ago. I took a chance on this album and it's GREAT to do kundalini yoga to. "BHAVA YOGA" and "NADA YOGA" are also great music to aid in kundalini practice. The "SHABDA YOGA" album is excellent but probably not so for doing the static asanas of hatha yoga or the dynamic movements of kundalini. I stumbled on a goldmine when I found the music of Russill Paul.

An excellent recording of sacred mantras designed to stimulate the rise of kundalini to accelerate spiritual progress and stimulate healing on the physical, mental and astral planes. A must for any collector of sacred mantra. I frequently play the music during a workout on my exercise bike and notice afterward that I am not at all fatigued. Highly recommended!
