 For what it is... September 1, 2008
For what it is, a meditation CD, this is a perfect offering. The lady's voice is incredibly beautiful, the melodies are haunting and uplifting, and the significance behind the words is both meaningful and calming. Though it is definitely repetitious, mantras sung over and over, I have listened to it probably 50 times so far, know the words by heart, can sing the harmonies to her tracks, all levels, and find it lends to repeated hearing. I first heard it played very softly at my yoga class, and it caught my attention enough that I asked about the artist, then ordered the CD for myself. I love it. I come back to it again and again, for stress relief, for the energy boost that comes from the music but also upon consideration of the meanings. It's lovely, a blessing. The production values are superb, the musicianship lush and complementary. Wish I could sing with her live.
Get this CD if you value your sanity.

this cd has been out for a whilenow and i finally broke down and bought my own copy. the first three tracks,and the last one, are the best in my opinion. I am glad I added this to my collection. Her voice is beautiful and I can use this in my yoga classes.

Great sound for Massage...I am a massage therapist. Also great for yoga or meditation. Nothing to abrupt or intrusive. Such a hypnotic sound!! The chanting is much more condusive to relaxation as opposed to some of her stuff with mitten, which is wonderful, but more for easy listening rather than meditative. The non-englsh (Is that a word?) allows you to not attach to the images evoked by our language.

The music is great, I'd previously heard it in a Yoga class, and knew I wanted it. However the CD that Amazon sent me skips and stalls on the second to last song which interrupts the Yogic flow and spoils the karma.
Perhaps Amazon should send me a better CD.

I received my order in record timing. The CD is in perfect condition and I am very satisfied with the ordering process.
