CD Reviews
Hauntingly Beautiful

"I first heard this CD in my T'ai Chi class, and the music just stayed with me. Particularly beautiful is the first song, "Right Mindfulness." It invokes high mist-covered mountains covered in greenery. The peaceful melodies don't leave the mind easily, and help the listener relax and tune inward. It is flowing and smooth, and hauntingly beautiful. Highly recommended for any exercise that requires gentle movement. For me it is "moving meditation.""

"GREAT MUSIC FOR BACKGROUND DINER MUSIC OR RELAXATION. I USE THIS CD FOR RELAXATION AFTER I TEACH A YOGA CLASS. I AM A YOGA INSTRUCTOR AND ESPECIALLY LIKE #3,#6 AND #7 FOR RELAXATION FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES AFTER THE CLASS IS COMPLETED. THOSE 5 TO 10 MINUTES CAN BE THE BEST MINUTES OF YOUR DAY."
Nice background music for Yoga

"Chinmaya Dunster's music has been a favorite of mine for my Yoga classes. Check out Yoga on Sacred grounds, for example. Feng Shui starts with Rigth Mindfulness - a poignant piece of music that conveys the picture of steadiness as of a series of mountains in the sight of a viewer. Somehow, this track reminds me of the past; as we go through the postures I think back or brood a bit. Rigth Views reminds you of the springtime or freshness as the insert describes. The pace, as with the first track, is ideal for most of the asanas. The next track Right Livelihood opens with a somewhat distracting chant and is supposedly of the wind. This track is great as one proceeds deeper into the asana session. Right Samadhi has a beautiful accompaniment of the bamboo flute, but you may not want to practice Shavasan during this track. Right Morality is about receptivity; it also has an air of freshness to it as it starts. The guitar and violin compete equally for your attention. The Right Effort starts with a native chant and reminds you of nature with the melodious penny whistle and flute bringing life to the tune. Right speech brings the message of connectedness, rhythm and melody; once again parts of it make you reflect. Right Intention, like Right Views, opens with a fresh native song. The flute is spring-like and most beautiful here. Wow, nice background music for a Yoga class. I will look for more Chinmaya Dunster music for my Yoga classes.
By the way, outside of a Yoga class the music is great to relax and reflect. Nice, nice, nice..."

"Pure intention radiates through this music. Very humble. Brings you back to the heart very quickly. Buy it and listen often."
