Album Notes

Meditational Journeys by ENERGI

First and foremost, our aim is to create music that we enjoy ourselves – we use it for entertainment, relaxation and meditation. We hope that many other people will also enjoy and gain benefit from our music.

The music 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 Grace Cottage Retreat in Dharamsala in India, at their meditation center.

The philosophy behind the Meditational Journeys series is to promote relaxation and a feeling of positive calm for the listener. Using the 'Chi' (the natural energy of the universe) definition of physical and spiritual wellbeing as its philosophical basis, 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 – either simply from a hard day, or from a traumatic experience. 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, which mirror the natural flow of human inhaling and exhaling patterns whilst a person is 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, based on Yogic breathing patterns – giving it a transcendental mantra-like quality.

Parakeet Bay – A Meditational Journey (61:11)
Keyboards, Electric Guitar, Electric Bass Guitar, Synth, Sound FX

The album-length version of Parakeet Bay is an exploration into meditation music cycles and yogic mantra rhythms.

Inspired by the tranquility and peaceful serenity of Parakeet Bay – a secluded cove on an island off the coast of Western Australia – Parakeet Bay is a mesmeric soundscape. Swirling underwater sounds combined with surface atmospherics produce cyclic harmonies – offering a sensation of floating... like a day in Parakeet Bay.

Sun-bleached sand... a warm breeze... the gentle lap of crystal-clear calm waters, fresh sea-salt air, the smell of the ocean. Wide-open space... solitude, rest, carefree contentment, calmness, tranquility and peace.

Soft watery sound effects – a seaside harmony of water, wind and seabirds – are subtly mixed with resonating glass tones, Jamaican drum sounds, and an undercurrent of watery bass notes to create a soundscape that depicts this idyllic seascape retreat on Rottnest Island off the Australian coast.

Over an hour of relaxing, uninterrupted music, the deeply transcendental mantra quality of Parakeet Bay makes it an ideal album to listen to whilst practicing meditation, yoga, relaxation, sleep therapy, or passive activities such as reading or working on a computer.
