Search - Energi :: Chi - A Meditational Journey

Ch'i, or qi, is the Chinese word used to describe "the natural energy of the Universe" (also known as "Prana" in Sanskrit). Many ancient wisdom cultures believe in the concept that chi (or prana) permeates everything, including the human body, and that proper attention to chi is necessary to restore and maintain equilibrium and harmony. This album-length version of Chi has been specifically designed for deep meditation practice that cultivates chi - using meditation music cycles and mantra rhythms. A careful mix of Asian Prayer Bells and Gongs, and sparse synthesized percussive notation in the Asian tradition, combine with breath flutes and floating voice shapes to create a constant rhythm pattern similar to yogic breathing techniques for meditation. The composer creates a soundscape that reflects the beautiful and mystical ancient sounds and music of Asia, measuring its beat to a slow, deep breath-cycle of meditation. Over an hour of relaxing, uninterrupted music, the deeply transcendental mantra quality of Chi makes it ideal for meditation, relaxation, yoga, tai chi, sleep therapy and everyday enjoyment.
