TANTRA OF SOUND - HARMONIZER (SPIRIT) |
| |
This is really not the type of CD I usually get sent to review. But coincidentally I have been meeting a lot of people lately who are into meditation (I do live in LA) and anything with Tantra in the title deserves at least a full listen. If you've ever been to a spa, you know one of the nice ones that smells like aromatherapy, has dim lighting and plush beige carpeting everywhere, then you've heard this kind of music before. But this CD is pretty cool in that it claims to go beyond 'just' being a regular music CD: it says it balances the chakras and brainwaves using a system they call "SynchroSound" which uses ancient sacred sounds, psycho-acoustic frequencies, toning, chanting and musical textures. Its supposed to heal and balance as the different tracks move through the different chakras in your body, starting at the top (Crown Center) moving down to the Root and then back up again through the same tracks. The included booklet goes into real detail on how to maximize its effects. Honestly, even if you think that sounds like a lot of new age hooey, the CD is without a doubt very relaxing, and I've found myself drawn to play it when I'm stressed out... I especially like the really deep bass in the chanting on the middle "Root Center" track. I've read scientific studies done on how sound waves actually have measurable effects on how fast cells can replicate and heal, and that music can heal doesn't seem such a far stretch from how it certainly effects the way we feel. So if you want to give a very well done healing CD a try, I'd highly recommend the Tantra of Sound. -- review by Claire Maxwell
