Editorial Reviews

Shamanic Dream is one of Anugama's true masterpieces. Centered around rhythmic, low-tempo drum beats that pulsate in a "heartbeat" manner, Shamanic Dream offers a profoundly soothing atmosphere for balance and meditation exercises. The first track, "Shamanic Dream" is the most percussion-oriented of the three. Joining the beats are drone-like synthesizer textures, wispy Shakuhachi flute wanderings and male vocals that quietly chant "so be it." The second track of Shamanic Dream, a journey through the chakras, adds synthesized ambience, ethereal vocalese and chirping crickets to the mix. Finally, "Mystical Trance" features the calming sounds of bamboo flute and didgeridoo. Beneath the surface, Shamanic Dream utilizes brainwave frequencies in the theta range, earth energies of the "C" range and other therapeutic sound techniques designed to help you relax more efficiently.- Anugama's Shamanic Dream is mystical, calming and energy-changing. Shamanic Dream is a true masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music to Clear Your Chakras and Heal Your Spirit, April 16, 2004

Angugama uses the didgeridoo and a drum beat, along with the sounds of nature, and synchronization with certain brain wave patterns, to clear the emotions and help focus the mind and heart on these beautiful sounds. It certainly works for me. The music is peaceful and meditative. It surely heals one from the stresses and tensions of daily life ... they seem to melt away ... or at least are viewed from a different, more clear perspective and feeling when the music is played and for a long time afterwards.

The liner notes provide some fascinating information how the "Spiritual Environments" recordings of which this is one ... create a healing effect with the sounds of nature and sacred mantras. Here is a summary: 1) the binaural beat helps produce a synchronization with the theta brain wave of the listener, which slows the brain down into a more relaxed state. 2) Anugama uses alpha, theta, and delta frequencies. 3) Sounds and overtones have been studied by a French ear surgeon, Dr. Alfred Tomatis, who discovered they charge the brain and energize the body itself. 3) Primordial sounds, such as the heartbeat, crickets, waterfalls, ocean surf and rivers rushing ... produce a calm comforting feeling, as they resonate with our consciousness and reinforce we, too, are part of the Life, the sacredness of nature. Lastly, 4) Anugama has coordinated his music to resonate with the frequency of certain planetary orbital speeds ... I understand how the first three techniques help the mind and body resonate with the music and essentially become harmonized with it. I am less convinced that the orbital speed of planets other than earth matter. However, the most important matter is this, the CD creates a wholistic experience of harmony, calmness, peace, and a oneness that feels mystical and sacred. This CD received my highest recommendations. Erika Borsos (erikab93)

5.0 out of 5 stars Shamanic Dream, July 26, 2002

By 

JIntrey (CA.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shamanic Dream (Audio CD)

I own over 300 CD's of relaxing music. I work in a Spa and it is rare
that all 12 of us agree on what is being played, until "Shamanic
Dream". Not only is it the perfect rhythm for massage and facials, it
works great for Yoga or dancing. One of the clients who talks constantly, fell asleep within 10 min. On top of all this it is well over
an hour long, so the flow is the same throughout the WHOLE massage.
My biggest gripe with "New Age" music is that to many are 46-49 min.

long, which disrupts what the client is experiencing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Relaxation Music Around, September 30, 2003

I bought this CD over three years ago before Anugama began selling his music on Amazon and before he added the third track. I was originally introduced to this CD while taking yoga in college, and I still use it every time. This is the best music I have found for yoga. Since I own the CD with only the first two tracks, I do all my standing poses to track #1 and all the floor poses, ending with deep relaxation, to track #2. This is the only music that I can do yoga with. It helps me concentrate on my practice and also to completely let go. I highly recommend this CD for any type of relaxation (yoga, massage, acupuncture).
