Posted on by Tammy

Mantras are often used in meditation to maintain focus, and in her newest CD, “Deva Premal’s Healing Mantras,” the artist presents 17 Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist chants to call in healing energy.

A combination of two previously released albums, “Mantras for Precarious Times,” and “Tibetan Mantras for Turbulent Times,” each mantra is repeated 108 times, and the 2 disc CD – running for two hours – includes mantras for removing obstacles, healing, abundance, compassion, peace, joy and more.

Premal’s voice will enchant the listener, whether used during or in addition to a meditation session.

“A Time for Healing,” CD by Mike Wall

Combining Native American flutes, Tibetan singing bowls, guitars, strings, violins, piano, drones and world instruments with nature sounds, “A Time for Healing,” is a on-hour long CD, featuring 10 compilations by musician, new age composer and massage therapist, Mike Wall.

Wall plays, engineers, and produces his music, and records the nature sounds, primarily around his home in the Pacific Northwest, and while the CD is ideal for massage therapists and other healing practitioners, it can also be used at home as background music, during meditation and more.

“I composed this music for massage with the intention of creating peace, calm, and a place of deep healing for the listener,” Wall said. “I used sound healing principals along with cadence, space, instrumentation, tones, intervals, and timbres that are completely supportive of that intention. The nature sounds were carefully selected to make sense in the context of the music. While composing, I often improvised along with the natural recordings. Throughout the developmental process I consulted with many therapists and their clients and received valuable feedback on the music and how it enhanced their sessions.”

Wall first solo release “Passage” was nominated for Best Ambient album in the 2007 New Age Reporter Lifestyle Music Awards, and charted #11 on the NAR charts. The new CD is available on Amazon and iTunes.

Samples of the music on “A Time for Healing,” are also available on Wall’s Web site, www.mikewallmusic.com.
