I always thought music has the capacity to transform and transport you into a different dimension. 3rd Eye Rising by Paradiso and Rasamayi definitely has this quality and allows you to leave the earthly 3-dimensional Space-Time continuum and enter the timeless, infinite realm of pure consciousness. Every track on this album is masterfully orchestrated and played by these two exceptional artists. We hear out of this world sounds of gongs, Tibetan bells and various Didjeridoos, while going through various states of perception, such as Bliss, Gratitude, Wisdom... There is even the laughter of the Dalai Lama. What a great experience! Your whole being feels uplifted and refreshed while listening to "3rd Eye Rising". Highly recommended!

Mediante la utilización de diferentes instrumentos étnicos como el didjeridoo, los cuencos tibetanos, el gong, tampura y campanillas, la pareja de artistas Paradiso y Rasamayi crean un viaje espiritual a través de los sonidos, donde once composiciones llenas de misterio y carentes de melodías se funden para ayudar al oyente a alcanzar la fase perfecta para la meditación. Centrados en una rama del New Age donde la curación del alma y la meditación es el principal objetivo, 3rd Eye Rising posee ricos sonidos y pequeñas sorpresas aptas para disfrutar en una profunda escucha, cerrar los ojos y dejarse llevar. 

Indispensable en cualquier centro donde se realicen terapias curativas, masajes o ejercicios de meditación, 3rd Eye Rising es la música más eficaz para alcanzar un estado de relax absoluto; la acertada unión de los instrumentos, voces y teclados hacen que cada pieza sea diferente a la anterior, pero sorprendentemente, manteniendo la linealidad y el tímido perfil que se presenta en todo el álbum.


3rd Eye Rising es el cuarto lanzamiento de Paradiso y la primera colaboración de Rasamayi, experta en el sonido de los cuencos tibetanos. El resultado no puede ser mejor, un álbum que aplacará tus sentidos y logrará difuminar cualquier preocupación. Dos Maestros que ostentan años de experiencia en el campo de la meditación y la curación y conscientes del poder influyente de la música, ofreciéndole un importante lugar en 3rd Eye Rising. Compruébalo!.

"3rd Eye Rising" is the first collaborative recording by Paradiso and Rasamayi. Subtitled “A Journey Through Ascending Realms,” the back cover states “This unique CD accelerates your evolution by unlocking these spiritual gifts.” Each of the eleven gifts is the title for its corresponding song. They are, Bliss, Gratitude, Invocation, Abundance, Transformation, Love, Guidance, Flow, Wisdom, Power, and Purpose. Instrumentation includes didjeridoo, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, chanting, chimes, gongs, tampura, and Shamanic percussion. 

Paradiso is a producer, musician, master didjeridoo artist, and an internationally acclaimed sound healer. He also performs on keyboards on this album and has released four best-selling and award-winning CDs to date. Rasamayi is also an acclaimed sound healer whose elegant and soothing chants and crystal and Tibetan singing bowls create a fascinating contrast to the earthy and resonant didj. Each song was recorded with the intention of facilitating healing and transformation on all levels through the healing power of sound. The album is ideal for meditation, relaxation, massage, and all other healing modalities. The liner notes also state that the artists/healers are “twin flames and partners in the mystic healing practice of the Sacred Sound Current. They are full body channels for many Guides, Angels, and Masters, who prescribe the frequencies for the development of those the couple serves in private practice, musical performances and group sound healings worldwide. Together, they represent the balance between divine masculine and feminine energies.”

I have to admit that this album is very different from the piano music I usually review, but the journey is a fascinating one. The sound quality is superb, allowing the listener to focus on any of the layers of sound as well as to the blending of the various musical voices as a whole. More ambient and atmospheric than melodic (with exceptions), I find that the music evokes many visual images for me that bring a rather hypnotic state. If you are interested in exploring the art of healing music, this is a great place to start.  Check it out!

Paradiso and Rasamayi serve as musical spirit guides on their latest collaboration, 3rd Eye Rising: A Journey Through Ascending Realms.

The CD features the talents of Paradiso on didjeridoo and keyboards and Rasamayi on chants and Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, resulting in a blissful sound experience that creates the impression of floating on clouds.

Paradiso’s keyboards lay the lush sonic foundation over which his didjeridoo and Rasamayi’s chants and Tibetan and crystal singing bowls coalesce into exotic otherworldly sounds that rapture the senses and elevate the consciousness into other dimensions of being.

There is one track, which I call “The Gong Song,” that completely grabbed my attention and never let go. Aside from a brief synthesizer intro, the recording is composed entirely of two gongs that sound like one gong coming to a shimmering conclusion over several minutes. I never thought I could be mesmerized by a tune consisting solely of gongs. It is probably the most compelling track on the album.

3rd Eye Rising: A Journey Through Ascending Realms comes as close as an album can get to being the perfect aural background for meditation and massage. Its hypnotic, cathartic effect makes it absolutely conducive to therapeutic healing, and it’s pleasant to listen to as an ethereal soundtrack to accompany the mind on its transcendental journeys.
