Music to Reassure the Spirit

"I got hooked on Kitaro in the late 70s, so much that I played the first cassette until the tape broke!

I was looking for a soothing and gentle CD to play at night, during my meditation and right after as I fall asleep. I have many that fit this relaxing category, but I wanted a new one for the new year.

Kitaro's easy sensual rhythms allow me to drift quickly into a safe place that feels like I'm being held in a lovely cradle, rocking imperceptibly, while I fall quietly into a lull.

Isn't this what we're all looking for in this crazy, volatile upside-ended period?

I've found comfort and ease simply listening to the magic that Kitaro brings to his music. It's like dancing fingertips, that's how I envision his hands gliding over the keys in a masterful, knowing way. He knows precisely which sounds to pluck, offering tender moments in place of stressful concerns.

"Floating Lotus"; "Wave of Sand" and "Spirit of Harp" - 3 of the pieces on the CD describe the feeling of flowing with the movement, skimming the water's surface, dangling feet in warm water on a lazy day, absolutely carefree... that's what Kitaro brings out in his music, the reassurance that it's all going to work out.
