Reiki Chants
Calming, ethereal and haunting soundscapes take you away on a blissful healing journey in Reiki Chants. It features harp, tambura, koto, violin, bells, gentle keyboards and male and female choral voices that have Enya like qualities to my ears. What is unique and magical about this disc is that the different chants and arrangements are each encoded with the energy of the Reiki symbols. What a great disc for healing, meditation or just re-charging the mind, body and soul. Truly this is my favorite release from Jonathan Goldman - a real must-have! --Planet Light Worker, June 2007REIKI CHANTS by Jonathan Goldman Reiki Chants is a collection of lush choral meditations based on ancient sounds said to contain the energy of the reiki symbols. Since Goldman is a Grammy-nominated composer who specializes in healing sounds--the use of sound to create balance in the body--these four tracks, which are gentle, vowel-oriented chants accompanied by harp, koto, violin and keyboards, work on many level. Reiki practitioners looking to deepen their work through sound accompaniment will be fans, as will many other body workers who may simply seek assistance in creating a healing space in their massage therapy rooms. Put this CD on and start to breath again from your core. It also includes 16 pages of inner notes that detail the CD's creation. --Massage Therapy Journal, Winter 2006Reiki is an increasingly popular form of spiritual practice for the treatment of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual diseases. It was developed in early 20th century Japan by Mikao Usui, who said he received the ability of `healing without energy depletion' after three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama. Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands as well as gestures in the air, which they say will channel ki energy from a disembodied spirit or spirits. This energy then flows through their palms to bring about healing. Reiki Chants is a beautiful choral album with lush vocals and light instruments, designed to enhance specific aspects of Reiki energy for amplified physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellness and healing. The different chants are each encoded with the energy of the Reiki symbols. Jonathan Goldman is an authority in the field of sound healing and a pioneer in the field of harmonics. He has appeared on Grammy Award-winning recordings, published many books, and been named `one of the Top 5 Most Popular New Age Musicians of All Time' by New Age Retailer. Reiki Chants is the first album to use Kotodama (an ancient oriental system of sound healing) to create the sounds that encode and manifest the power and energy of the Reiki symbols for accelerated healing, meditation and relaxation. The uplifting music features male and female voices with harp, tambura, koto, violin and gentle keyboards. Extensive liner notes on the creation and uses of this recording are included so you don't need to be a Reiki practitioner in order to enjoy its relaxing and healing energy. This peaceful and calming music is perfect for easing general stress and helping you to dropping off to sleep at night. Other Jonathan Goldman albums to look out for include Frequencies (JSG2211), Medicine Buddha (JSG1177) and the best-selling Chakra Chants (JSG1133). --Daily Om April 28, 2007
