“Mantras for my children…and yours: Sanskrit chants to calm active children,” is a mantra meditation cd produced by stay-at-home mother, Nina Patel, to help calm and relax active children by means of chanting mantras. Her interest in producing the mantra cd came about by chance. She is Reiki Healer and practices Yoga, Tai Chi and Dahn Mu Do.

“I noticed my children became more relaxed as they heard me chant mantras and affirmations in the morning, a ritual that I practice for personal growth,” says Nina who goes by the artist name Mantra Mom. “So, I started chanting mantras with my children on our way to school to center them for the day and before bedtime to ease them to sleep. I also chanted mantras to soothe them during times of anxiousness. What I eventually found was that chanting became a great emotional release for my children when they had difficulty articulating their feelings,” she adds.

In the press release it is said that “Unlike any other mantra cd on the market, the mantras are performed like a rap to a backdrop of hip-hop music, making chanting fun and easy for children of today’s generation. The tracks are also purposefully arranged to slowly ease the child to a calm meditative state by gradually moving from hip-hop to moody new age music.”

This 10 track album was released on May 8th and it’s 10% of the sales would go to Vibha, a non-profit organization that helps builds schools and provide healthcare for underprivileged children in India. You can avail this CS at Mantramom.com, Cdbaby.com, Amazon.com (August) and Target.com (in August).

To my Enya and Yanni friendly ears, this very strange instrument become too close to heart as I do with Jim Brickman’s piano and Kitaro’s bells. Hang was created in Jan 2000 at Switzerland by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer of the PANArt Company. Hang is generally placed in the lap and played using fingers to produce different sounds with each and every stroke.

I would call it a hybrid variety of steel drum, gamelan, and gong. But the note can resemble like a Harp, Bells, harmonically tuned Steelpans, Ghatam, Tabala and Veena. I can’t imagine how ‘two hemispherical steel shells’ can make such a beautiful, soft, and soothing music. I was completely lost in the way the instrument is played and by the music out of it (Youtube has plenty of videos). Though there are 5000 Hang players worldwide, we have only 2 hang makers so orders are taken in limited basis. With the growing popularity, Hang would probably set out a new musical experience and harmony around us.

Love to listen Hang? yeah…here is a video for you.

It was a fun experience which pushed him to record a second album which would eventually be known to the world as ‘Under the Bodhi Tree.’ The album picked up where the previous had left off, and Jonathan began to incorporate subtle vocals, thematic passages, intricate percussion, and signature complex meters to the music. The album was picked up by the UK’s New World Music label in 2005 and released world wide in 2006. Since then, ‘Under the Bodhi Tree’ has won the 2007 Independent Music Award for Best New Age Album and the 2007 New Age Album of the Year from the Coalition of Visionary Resources (COVR).

I would recommend “Under the Bodhi Tree” by Jonathan Still to all who loves meditation, soft calming music, and easy to listen music. This album would be great feel if “You Close your eyes and imagine you are sitting under the wonderful Bodhi tree with its heart shaped leaves and legendary divinity. The soft warm breeze of fluid instrumentation and exquisite delicacy soothes the worn and weary psyche. Jonathan Still invokes this scenario through the symbiosis of traditional instrumentation to reflect nature at its most expansive. The rise and fall of the arrangements will take you through nature to the metaphysical, from the tribal rouse to the sublime exotic, from the most traditional to the funkiest groove.”

The tracks would gradually take you to the world of calmness and simplicity so that you loose your daily stress and tension. Each and every tracks grips you to the next with stillness and momentum.

Here are some snippets form Amazon customer reviews:

Same notes over and over The same notes were played in the background over and over. It was annoying. It overshadowed what was probably some really good music. I just couldn’t focus on anything else but the notes in the background. I am returning it.

Awesome relaxing CD I absolutely love this CD. I purchased two- one for myself and one for my mom. We both listen to it to fall asleep at night. I also recommended it to my massage therapist who practices reiki.

Very boring I am a Reiki master practitioner and have my own business and am always looking for complementary music for my sessions. This CD may be relaxing but it is not uplifting or “energy-friendly”. To me, it seemed as if the producers of the CD didn’t put any effort into creating it, and just wanted to get it into the energy market.

Relaxing & Mello, Great for Massage, Meditation, Reiki As a massage therapist this is one of my overall favorites and one that my clients just love. I would rate this in my top 5 of all my massage / relaxation music. My clients –even the very stressed-out ones — are able to relax to this CD. I can still enjoy it as I listen to it everyday and not get tired of it. It takes my clients (and me) into a deeply relaxed state. The continous repetition of the simple theme and harmonies contribute to gentle and progressive slowing down of the body and mind into a meditative state.

Do you have anything to say? huh?

Hear my silent prair,
heat my quiet call,
wonder darken loose sorround you.

Step into my sigh,
look inside the light,
you will know that I have found you.

Hear my silent prair,
heat my quiet call,
wonder darken loose sorround you.

Step into my sigh,
look inside the light,
you will know that I have found you.
…………………
Prayer

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind, whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe, so close your weary eyes

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold.

A believer in musical therapy, she said, “I believe specifically in big cities most pregnant women work and the best way to decrease their work stress is music.” Akbar’s repertoire on Sunday evening will consist of “the most peaceful and relaxing samples” of her classical repertoire. “During the concert I’ll improvise with the themes women inspire me with at that moment,” said Akbar. The music was carefully chosen by Akbar to help babies yet to be born to better develop while the music “touches” them and reaches their developing ears. The reverberations of music are just as necessary as nourishment for developing embryos, Akbar said. “Music is a vibration and a baby needs clean and beautiful vibrations as much as it needs vitamins, protein and minerals, because what is inside me is not just a human body, but also a soul or spirit,” said Akbar. If babies hear music while in their mother’s womb, the transition to the outside world will also be made smoother, Akbar said. When the baby is born and listens to music he or she will recognize the tones, making it peaceful and happy. “Those tones will sound to his ears as familiar as the sound of his mother and father,” said Akbar. Akbar recommends to all pregnant women a steady auditory diet of the classics Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and Chopin. She said soothing New Age music and Indian Ragas are appropriate for women who enjoy more ethnic or oriental music

If You are familiar with New age music scene then you must have heard Gandalf who grounds his music in the beauty of nature and in the mysteries of various cultures. This Austrian born artist knows the magic of describing nature in his intimate and tender music. Gandalf’s Lotus Land is a beautiful blend of instrumental acoustic and electronic music which is relaxing and inspiring. Gandalf got inspiration for this disc when he was reading Dante’s -Divine Comedy . As I listened to the album I feel like drifted to the land of lotus that brings peace and meditative silence around me as well as in me.

I recommend Lotus Land for yoga, for massage, for meditation and for all healing practices. When your heading is puffing out with stress and tension then Gandalf’s Lotus Land has the vibration of relaxing and cooling one’s heart.
