Feng Shui Harmony Feng Shui Harmony CD Hiebinger, Richard
CD 97755
Feng Shui Harmony is a gentle and warm space of sound which is formed by the intermingling of the overtone rich acoustic instruments from Asia and the sound of falling water droplets from an artistically designed "sound fountain". The breath of the bamboo flutes, the overtones of the Chinese harp, the planetary tones of the sound bowls, the structures of percussion instruments and the flowing pearls of water droplets create an acoustic ambience with "good Feng Shui". The body, mind and spirit blossoms as it lets go into a greater flow of energy.

Reiki Hands Reiki Hands CD Hiebinger, Richard
CD 97733
REIKI-Hands was created with the intention of deepening the experience of Reiki sessions and initiations. All the instruments stem from the Himalayas or Japan therefore forming a deeper connection to the roots of Reiki. The planetary tones of the Tibetan and Japanese bowls induce deep relaxation on different levels which in turn facilitate a greater opening to the stream of cosmic life-energy. The melodies of the bamboo flutes and the Koto harp harmonize the heart energies and help us to re-experience the oneness with the universe. Reiki-Hands is grounded in practical experience collected in seminars and through the creative exchange of several Reiki masters and therapists.

Sayama Kyorei Sayama Kyorei CD Hiebinger, Richard
CD 97732
Staying With the philosophy of the Japanese Len culture, the improvisations on KYOREI happened spontaneously out of the moment. KYOREI invites the listener to empty his consciousness of unnecessary thoughts and for the moment to sink into the original purity of nature. The freshness of spring has been made perceptible through the harmony of a gurgling creek, bird song and the Koto harp recorded at dawn on one May morning. While the sounds of the Shakuhachi flute - whose spectrum of sound ranges from tender cherry blossoms to the jagged walls of cliffs - sinks into the sound of a mountain stream, the vastness and emptiness of the sky settles down upon the earth.

Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 1 - Solo Shakuhachi Meditation Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 1 - Solo Shakuhachi Meditation CD Danbrook, Debbie


The first chakra is Red and is the ROOT. This chakra deals with life energy and grounds our spirit in the material world. This recording starts with the shakuhachi itself. What is it? You can see it. Its a cutting from a tree; the bamboo. You can feel it - the connection; it stands tall, energy grounded and sways with the wind. The root sound; a solo shakuhachi drawing up energy from the earth.
Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 2 - Shakuhachi And Chanting Meditation Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 2 - Shakuhachi And Chanting Meditation CD Danbrook, Debbie


The second chakra is Orange and is found at the SACRAL. It deals with how we create in the world; with pleasure, well-being, sexuality and abundance. This recording focuses on improvisation; letting yourself explore; testing the range of your own creativity. The pulse of the chant; the rhythm - heals, grounds. You've got a base - go ahead - let go.
Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 3 - Shakuhachi And Koto Meditation Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 3 - Shakuhachi And Koto Meditation CD Danbrook, Debbie


The third chakra is Yellow and is in the SOLAR PLEXUS. It deals with intellect, intuition and lessons to be learned in life. It is ego, self-esteem, confidence, decision making and personal power. This recording shows us how you're probably (if you're a westerner) seeing the world through an invisible yellow filter, and no, it's not smog. In learning, judging - remember the filter.
Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 4 - Shakuhachi Duets Meditation Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 4 - Shakuhachi Duets Meditation CD Danbrook, Debbie


The fourth chakra is Green and is at our heart. It deals with heart and emotion. It is love, joy, relationship and peace. This recording shows us how the more you open, the clearer your sight becomes. You see yourself, you see the other, you see the other in yourself, (etc.) The sounds echo, harmonize, fleeing each other, only to meet up again. Two shakuhachis in relationship.
Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 5 - Shakuhachi And Voice Meditation Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 5 - Shakuhachi And Voice Meditation CD Danbrook, Debbie


The fifth chakra is Blue and is at our throat. This chakra deals with voice, speaking our truth; integrity, will-power and how we move ourselves forward in the world. This recording deals with voice and flute as one. Your voice states your presence in the world. It is your sound - let it be authentic.
Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 6 - Shakuhachi And Harmonics Meditation Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 6 - Shakuhachi And Harmonics Meditation CD Danbrook, Debbie


The sixth chakra is Purple and is at our brow; it is often referred to as the third eye. It deals with compassion and intuition; wisdom, discernment and imagination. This recording deals with harmonics; ethereal, whispy, are sometimes called ghost tones - something you can feel as well as hear. The third eye is listening.
Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 7 - the Spirit of Shakuhachi - Compilation Spirit of Shakuhachi Vol 7 - the Spirit of Shakuhachi - Compilation CD Danbrook, Debbie


The seventh chakra is White and is at our crown. This chakra deals with our connection to the spiritual realm and connects us with beauty and universal energy. This last recording is a compilation with two selections from each Chakra recording above. It is all contained in the spirit. May your spirit be full.

It brings the intuitive, playful, creative, sensual, loving and devotional sides of our being to life. (Guitar, Piano, Cello, Oboe, Koto & Shakuhachi, Gu-Cheng & Ti-Tzi, Bansuri and Percussion)
