Chakra Chants 2

"Jonathan Goldman's "Chakra Chants" was one of the most exceptional albums I'd ever heard for healing and meditation. When this follow up album was released, I was a bit skeptical. I needn't have been. It is superb! "Chakra Chants 2" equals, and perhaps even surpasses the first CD. Perhaps this is because on this recording, along with Sound Healing Pioneer Goldman, is his mentor, Sarah Benson (described as being 'the Divine Mother of Sound Healing')whose exquisite voice and flutes add even more magic to the extraordinary power of Goldman's voice. "Chakra Chants 2" is a real winner--great to listen to and truly wonderful to assist in any healing or meditational experience. I highly recommend it."

Great CD

"I bought this CD as a follow up to Chakra Chants 1 which I absolutely love.



The chants on this CD and Chakra Chants 1 are rolling and layered vocal sounds connected to each chakra center. For example, "uh", "eee", and "om"



Chakra Chants 2 includes sounds in nature that correspond to each of the chakras as well, which is different than the first CD. The nature sounds do not continue through the duration of an entire chant. They are introduced at the beginning of each energy center or track on the CD for about 10-15 seconds.



For me, the experience of this CD is that the way it is put together differently from Chakra Chants 1 results in deeper meditation. I normally steer away from the rainforest/creek, stream and bird noise type of music. This is NOT what this CD is. It has just a few elements, as mentioned, and the results for healing and balancing have been extraordinary.



This CD has a deeper and heavier feel to it than Chakra Chants 1. It seems a bit like it is more intense or that it is doing healing work at a different emotional level than the first CD.



I do go back and forth between using Chakra Chants 1 and Chakra Chants 2 to change it up. The intensity of this CD isn't something I'm always ready for, so I do recommend owning the first CD for more subtle balancing work. I feel that having both is a compliment to very thorough balancing.



For any sound healing CD I do recommend closed stereo headphones. It is a different experience to meditate to this CD with earbuds, and different again than listening to it through speakers. There are very subtle and beautiful tones that flow through that seem like they can only be heard with the closed headphones on.
