Synopsis

Album Description
"An impressive work jam-packed with spiritual information [and] put together with love and devotion. Simply reading the information that comes with the disc is as unique an experience as listening to the sounds. A soothing listening experience and worth a visit." - ROLLING STONE Jonathan Goldman is a world-renowned authority in the field of sound healing who presents lectures, workshops and intensive training sessions around the world. Goldman has been empowered by the Chant Master of the Dalai Lama?s Drepung Loseling Monastery to teach sacred Tibetan overtone chanting. After finding that many of the chakra resonance recordings available were difficult to listen to, Goldman created Chakra Chants, an album that uses authentic and gloriously rich harmonic sound ripe with deeply resonant overtone chanting for a gentle yet powerful listening experience. Named Best Overall Album and Best Healing/Meditation Album at the 1999 COVR Awards, Chakra Chants remains the best-selling CD of its type. Features an extended booklet that explains, in detail, how the disc resonates and aligns the energy centers of the body in addition to how it may be used as a self-healing and meditation tool, a sonic environment, and a self-teaching tool to create sounds for greater balance and inner alignment. Also includes a bonus guided visualization, which may be used for enhancing the Chakra Chants experience.

I'm a Chakra-holic.

I'll be honest, I don't know much about Chakras. I just recently started learning about them as a corollary to my study of Buddhism (and "conversion" for that matter). I used to meditate, long ago, unsuccessfully. I would try to enter into meditation and just couldn't stay for more than a few moments before coming right out. A few weeks ago, I started up again, as part of my philosophy, because I knew, I just knew that if I could truly enter the meditative state, my emotions could be stilled, I could reduce my stress levels, I could control my anger (which has been pretty bad). I used to be an optimist, and then in recent years became cynical and angry, and everyone noticed it. I became so concerned with my anger I started to be a bit worried about it. Lots of events have happened to me in life that have been very negative. I'm only 30 years old, but I've had to constantly rebuild this life over and over again because of external influences. I wanted to just succumb to them and get it over with.



Just hold your horses I'm getting to the CD. ;)



So I began to work on discipline, trying to pare down all the excesses in my life to something manageable. It was at that point I began to read the words of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He talked about meditation, energy, and such things, and it was then that I became interested in Chakras. I'm still very new, but wanted to get some kind of aid for me to meditate. I was about to buy another author's work on CD, but one of the good people here gave me some very sound advice on getting Jonathan Goldman's Chakra Chants (I keep thinking it's called Chakra sounds, and for good reason! LOL). So I purchased it on that recommendation alone and hoped I had made a good decision.



In two words? Oh yes.



Yesterday morning I got the CD in the mail. I found some time to clear out on my schedule and popped it into the CD player. I sat down, took the half lotus position, breathed in deeply, and hit the play button.



Wow. I mean, wow. Really. Wow. Wow. Wow. Within minutes of the first track, I felt what seemed like a knot at the base of my spine just come undone, as if it had been unbound. Slowly, as I listened to each track, I could feel, and I mean really feel, not imagine, feel my body loosen, relax, become fluid. I started to feel like I was floating, like I had lost track of the physicality of my body. At the third track, I don't know how to explain it, but by the halfway point, I started laughing out loud, uncontrollably! Then I started to cry! Then laugh again, and it was the most amazing experience, it was a wave of relief just washing over me. It was warm and blissful, and then cold and refreshing. It felt so good!



By the time I sensed the sixth track, I felt like I was standing in a clearing, it was arid and clear, like what you would feel if you were standing outside in the snow, way up in the mountains. It was arid, dry, it felt vast and cold, and it was quiet, so very quiet. I was amazed. I have yet to listen to the seventh track, but I suspect I'm in for a treat.



I have to tell you, no matter what you believe, no matter what you invest in Chakras or anything like that, there is something to this music. There is something to these sounds, that they just do something to the body and mind and just release you from so much stress and pain. Believe me, I am someone who holds in their emotions and keep them buried. It's why I had high blood pressure at 21 years of age. My emotions were under such a tight lock that I wouldn't express them. I would hold my anger down, and the end result was medical problems and pain, and stress, and strife. Many times I contemplated just ending it all. Right now I feel so good, I feel so relaxed and content. I feel calm and at peace, and I'm on the verge of tears because I haven't felt this way in a long, long time.



Please, if you need emotional healing, this is a good place to start. It's worth every penny, and I cannot stress enough just how wonderful the music feels. Mr. Goldman, if you're reading this, thank you, thank you, thank you, bless you in every way, thank you.
