Legendary sound healer Sophia takes listeners on a therapeutic journey through the seven chakras with CHAKRA HEALING CHANTS. As listeners travel down this sacred river of sound, they are comforted and rejuvenated with soothing sounds of ancient chants, resonant bamboo flute, tabla, sarod, cello and zither, which are designed to purify and activate the body's energy centers. Joining Sophia are special guests David Gordon, Hans Christian (Rasa), Raphael, Girish Gambhira (Krishna Das), Wynne Paris (Krishna Das) and Schawkie Roth, whose collective heavenly sounds help listeners reach higher states of consciousness and inner realms of bliss. Great for yoga, sacred dance and the healing arts.
This retrospective of "Sophia's Hits" dating back to 1978 and her first recording, Roots & Wings, includes some new versions of previously released songs as well as something new.
This recording
has been widely used for massage, meditation, relaxation, rituals and tantra.
Each side is an extended piece, beginning with SACRED GROUND's heartbeat
pulse which carries us from the birthing chant of Sweet Surrender, through a
sensual, enchanting Bengali bhajan (East Indian devotional chant), the powerful
Native American (Lakota) chant, The Earth is Our Mother. These three prayers
culminate in a fugue which intertwines then all, bridging East and West and
creating a temple of sacred sound. HIDDEN WATERS is a flowing, moving
meditation of wind and water, with zither, lyrical bamboo flute and Sophia's
serene vocalese. This simple yet profound recording features the keyboard artistry
and depth of Raphael, whose passion, rhythm, and subtlety match Sophia's own.e touch of music.

RETURN
Sophia's
personal favorite, RETURN , invokes the mystery, majesty and passion
of the Goddess, from the benediction of angelic grace to the healing bliss of
erotic fire. Supporting Sophia's "voice of gold, full of power and love," is
exquisite orchestration arranged in collaboration with keyboard genius Raphael
(Intimacy, Music to Disappear In, Angels of the Deep) and featuring inspired
soloists including Jai Uttal, Steve Gorn and Bhagavan Das. Return's seamless
production leads us deeper and higher with each movement, culminating in a profound
initiation into the conscious embodiment of the Divine Feminine in this world.
