- Audio -Audio is a section with spoken and music pieces and as well as Video/DVD. Spoken Audio & Video/DVD are in the Audio section; Music is in the Music section. Spoken audio consists of books on compact disc, affirmations, hypnosis & guided meditations which generally contain music. Sometimes we have trouble deciding which category is best for a recording so we encourage you to explore sections titled both Audio & Music. Music with Hemi-Sync technology to balance our two brain hemispheres is in the Audio section even though these recordings may not have any words. Music consists of pieces that generally do not contain speech or where speech is kept to a minimum. Sometimes placement is a guess. If the piece is instrumental, we can place it confidently in the music section. With the move toward including indigenous music alone or as part of "fusion", sometimes the spoken versus music divide is very narrow. HB carries a wide array of music. There are recordings that are primarily instrumental with perhaps a bit of singing or toning. There are recordings that contain nature sounds only. Pieces with chanting in English, Sanskrit, Iroquois, etc.& some that combine a bit of everything. Much of the music is deeply relaxing & suitable for meditation, massage &/or reiki. So we don't fall asleep, there are also some lively pieces. Flamenco guitar by Jesse Cook or Born to Be Happy get us moving, for example. Have you heard Marina Raye or Mary Youngbood on native flute? How about the voice of Joanne Shenandoah? Do you know Deuter, Jonathan Goldman? There are so many wonderful artists and pieces. We carry many of Carolyn Hillyer's recordings. There are just too many to mention at any one time. I'm grateful to recording companies for the demos that prompt me to check out artists new to me as well as hear new releases from artists I love. So if you don't recognize all the artists, you may have just found a new treasure. Check our Specials. Have you heard Elaine Silver? What about Peter Kater? Kevin Wood? Weave? Have you heard Deva Premal singing mantras? Browse for a wonderful adventure of diverse music. Our selection with vocalizing has increased because there are so many great pieces out there that are relaxing with vocal. These are meditative, suitable for yoga & massage not just easy listening. May you walk in harmony everywhere you go. |
