Album Notes

The Meditational Journeys series of music albums promotes relaxation and a feeling of positive calm. Using the 'Chi' (the natural energy of the universe) definition of physical and spiritual wellbeing, Meditational Journeys music is based on yogic breathing cycles and is designed to promote health and relaxation. Meditational Journeys can be used by experienced meditation practitioners or beginners, or by non-practitioners who want an easy way to relax and de-stress. This music is also very beneficial for study and work – creating a positive and focused atmosphere that aids concentration and attention.

The music is created around specific time signatures and rhythms. These cyclic melodies follow the rhythm of yogic breathing patterns, mirroring the natural flow of human breath while in a deep meditative state. The basis of all Meditational Journeys music – and its ability to bring calm and peace to the listener – is its use of ethereal textures and tonal harmonies in synchronism with precise cyclic rhythms, giving it a transcendental mantra-like quality.

Seascape – A Meditational Journey takes the ocean as its theme, using the sounds of waves and the seashore, so often associated with peace and tranquility. Inspired by spending time in very special places by the sea, in different seasons around the world, the carefully written and recorded music reflects the many moods of the ocean.

Soft watery sound effects – a seaside harmony of water, wind and seabirds – are subtly mixed with instruments such as resonating bowed glass bowls and gently soaring guitar, to create effortless and positive melodic themes. The soundscapes depict an idyllic retreat, giving an overall effect of floating. Mesmeric cycling rhythms in harmony with yogic breathing cycles take the listener to ever-increasing levels of deep relaxation and renewal.

Seascape – A Meditational Journey is designed to be used for relaxation, meditation, reiki, massage, spa, tai chi, yoga, and other spiritual, peaceful and restful activities. It is used at the meditation center at Grace Cottage Retreat in Dharamsala in the Himalayan Mountains of India, as well as by many alternative health practitioners.
