Chakra Breathing Meditations (CD)

Layne Redmond
Although some of the material on Chakra Breathing Meditations is on the original Being In Rhythm recording there is thirty minutes of completely new material. It opens with guided instruction on traditional yogic breathing, the preliminary practices for pranayama. Then there is a seated charka-activating breathing meditation. Followed by a standing meditation.
The next meditation is Breath of the Chakras. This is the walking and breathing meditation into the seven chakras that I do in every workshop. We learn to connect to the energy of the earth through the force we call gravity and become a channel for that energy to flow up and out through our bodies and drums. Once grounded with the earth's energy we focus on receiving the energy of the sun and balancing these two primordial powers within the energy system of our own mind/body complex. This practice can be done simply by walking and breathing or you may practice your drum at the same time so that you can actually start to convey the connection of heaven and earth through your drumming. This selection is a redo of the guided meditation that was on Being In Rhythm and is set to rhythmic music.
The final selection is the music without the spoken meditation. This is perfect background music for a guided meditation to conclude a yoga session while students are in Shavasana or corpse pose. The music relaxes yet keeps one conscious and aware of the guided meditation. "After teaching yoga and meditaion for 30 years I have found the instrumental version of 'Breath of the Chakras" to be the most enjoyable and effective way to help my students relax and release their tensions and worries. The hypnotic pulse of 'Breath of the Chakras' takes you beyond yourself to the center of peace and joy at the very core of your being. Layne and Tommy are not only master musicians but true teachers who have something of great value to offer us. 'Breath of the Chakras' is a masterful example of their gift." Tom Thompson, codirector of the Hara Foundation, Southern Pines, NC.
This recording comes with a 11 page booklet with more detailed information about the chakras.
