NEW Your Inner Awakening
The Work of Byron Katie: Four Questions That Will Transform Your Life
6 CDs + DVD + Journal
Price: $135.00
Discover the four questions that will forever transform life's journey.
No matter how much money, status, professional success, or other types of external security one may have, very few people experience true joy and personal freedom. Byron Katie knows this reality too well. In the midst of a "normal and successful" life, Katie became increasingly depressed, and over a ten-year period sank further into rage and despair. Then, one morning in 1986, out of the blue, she had a sudden, profound insight into how the mind works. As a result, a bedridden, suicidal woman became filled with love for everything life brings. Katie developed a simple yet powerful method of inquiry, called The Work, that helped make this transformation practical.
In this program, you will learn how to use The Work for yourself. You'll discover that, contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works; instead, once you have investigated it, the thought lets go of you. The Work's four powerful questions and turnaround (which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe) have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world.
In "Your Inner Awakening" Byron Katie will teach you this revolutionary process so that you can use it to question and undo any stressful thought that keeps you from experiencing mental clarity. Eventually you may find, as so many others have, that peace and joy flow into every area of your life. As Eckhart Tolle, author of "The Power of Now" says, "Byron Katie's Work acts like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through illusions and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being."

I Need Your Love - Is That True?
How to Stop Seeking Love, Affection and Appreciation and Start Finding Them Instead
Written and Read by Byron Katie
4xCD 5 hours
$54.95
In Loving What Is, bestselling author Byron Katie introduced thousands of people to her simple and profound method of finding happiness through questioning the mind. Now, I Need Your Love—Is That True? examines a universal, age-old source of anxiety: our relationships with others. In this groundbreaking book, Katie helps you question everything you have been taught to do to gain love and approval. In doing this, you discover how to find genuine love and connection.
The usual advice offered in self-help books and reinforced by our culture advocates a stressful, all-consuming quest for love and approval. We are advised to learn self-marketing and manipulative skills—how to attract, impress, seduce, and often pretend to be something we aren’t. This approach doesn’t work. It leaves millions of walking wounded—those who, having failed to find love or appreciation, blame themselves and conclude that they are unworthy of love.
I Need Your Love—Is That True? helps you illuminate every area in your life where you seem to lack what you long for most—the love of your spouse, the respect of your child, a lover’s tenderness, or the esteem of your boss. Through its penetrating inquiry, you will quickly discover the falseness of the accepted ways of seeking love and approval, and also of the mythology that equates love with need. Using the method in this book, you will inquire into painful beliefs that you’ve based your whole life on—and be delighted to see them evaporate. Katie shows you how unraveling the knots in the search for love, approval, and appreciation brings real love and puts you in charge of your own happiness.
“Everyone agrees that love is wonderful, except when it’s terrible. People spend their whole lives tantalized by love—seeking it, trying to hold on to it, or trying to get over it. Not far behind love, as major preoccupations, come approval and appreciation. From childhood on, most people spend much of their energy in a relentless pursuit of these things, trying out different methods to be noticed, to please, to impress, and to win other people’s love, thinking that’s just the way life is. This effort can become so constant and unquestioned that we barely notice it anymore.
This book takes a close look at what works and what doesn’t in the quest for love and approval. It will help you find a way to be happier in love and more effective in all your relationships. What you learn here will bring fulfillment to all kinds of relationships, including romantic love, dating, marriage, work, and friendship.” ~ Byron Katie

Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose
8 x CDs
Running Time: 7 hours
ISBN: 0-525948-02-3
Audiobook read by Eckhart Tolle
Price: $49.95
As recommended by Oprah Winfrey for her Book Club, March -- May 2008.
Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity.
Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one.
In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are-which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are -- and learn to live and breathe freely.
NEW Through the Open Door: To the Vastness of Your Being
Do you want to remain a spiritual seeker your whole life? Or do you want to find what it is you're after, once and for all? It is possible, teaches Eckhart Tolle, if you learn to consider everything happening around you an ally.
So begins Through the Open Door, Eckhart Tolle's new invitation to step into the beauty, vitality, and vastness of Being -- not by striving for some faraway goal or trick of the mind to aid you on your "spiritual search" -- but through the continual embrace of the Now. This two-part teaching session with Eckhart explores:
- How to stop the momentum of thought and respond to any situation with the compassion and wisdom of pure Presence
- "Space consciousness" -- perceiving the underlying field from which all forms arise
- The antidote to suffering found when you experience "one deep yes"
Whether you've touched upon the profound insights of Eckhart's earlier teachings or are hearing him for the first time, here is your opportunity to immerse yourself in the newest turning of his "pointing instructions" -- away from the hopes and fears of past and future, and toward "the ultimate in liberation ... to know yourself as life."

Stillness Amidst the World
The Wisdom and Magic of Eckhart Tolle at Findhorn
4 x CD. Running Time: 4 hours
Recorded: Findhorn, Scotland, 2004
Music: from the album "AWAKENING" by Marc Allen
ISBN: 1-57731-508-1
$48.95
Eckhart Tolle, renowned for the simple and powerful truths in his books and talks, led an extraordinary two-day retreat at Findhorn, Scotland, famous as a magical community on the leading edge of personal and global transformation.
When Eckhart came to Findhorn, true magic happened, and the whole weekend was professionally recorded on video and edited down to create a deeply moving experience for viewers.
From his opening words on, every sentence has a unique vision and power. His words, spoken quietly and slowly, can deeply affect our lives. He gives us simple tools for transformation — the clear guidance we need to deeply realize the magic of every moment.
The main topic of Eckhart’s talk at the retreat is stillness. Stillness offers a doorway into the Now and to true personal enlightenment. Too often we become trapped in our mind-created sense of self. Eckhart explains how compulsive our thoughts become as we analyze, interpret, and label every conscious experience we have. In such a state we can no longer perceive the sacredness in ourselves and in that of the natural world around us. Our experience of life becomes nothing but a never-ending reel of thoughts, opinions, and viewpoints.
Eckhart’s light-hearted delivery provides sparkling highlights to the wonderful wisdom he shares with us. It is a simple and profound message of hope. We find stillness in the present moment — in the Now. When we enter this deeper dimension that lies dormant in each one of us, we find peace. Stillness reconnects us to the sacredness of life and of being. That is why we are here — to deepen our awareness of the sacred in life.
His words are words to be listened to deeply and repeatedly. Eckhart Tolle is truly one of the world’s greatest guiding lights, offering us serene sanity in a mad world.
In the Presence of a Great Mystery
In simple language and with quiet humour, Eckhart Tolle explores the powerful mystery of who we are.
On this 3xCD album, Eckhart begins his talk by presenting the problem we face as human beings: Almost all of us have created a rigid sense of identity based on our history, our mental interpretations, and our memories of the past.
It is who we think we are, "our story," and we constantly support it with endless thoughts in habitual patterns. Yet our story -- what Eckhart calls "the little me" is not the truth of who we are.
All we truly have is the present moment, and in this moment we are far more than we think: we are in fact part of a great, mysterious whole. Words cannot describe it, because it is beyond the mental stream of our thoughts, which contains all our words.
We become aware of this great reality when we let our thoughts go. In those moments, we can achieve the transcendent state so many of us long for, a state of being that goes beyond all the problems we encounter.
More and more people are discovering this state of being, in what Eckhart calls "the flowering of consciousness." It is available to anyone at any time. Listen closely, and Eckhart will take you there.

The Essence of Now
"There is only one thing to get!" For the duration of this 3-day retreat Eckhart points us in the direction of a state of consciousness that is free of thought - the unlimited, unconditioned, formless state within ourselves that is always present. He does this in his own inimitable style, with eloquence, silence, authenticity and humor, all the while breaking the delusion of our conceptualized sense of self. There is a special depth to Eckhart's teachings in this series. He touches on many themes. Always assuring us that it takes no time to get out of the delusion, Eckhart guides us to abandon the search and find the true meaning of "I". "The very force behind the seeking is it."

Living a Life of Inner Peace
Living a Life of Inner Peace is a recording of one of Eckhart's most moving, transformative talks. The talk is relaxed and funny, and he conveys his message through stories and insightful observation. Eckhart makes us laugh at ourselves - while helping us break through habitual thinking to discover the eternal presence of the Now.
When you listen, you discover that something deeper is happening beyond the words being spoken. A field of alert stillness arises where before there was mental noise. You find yourself in what Eckhart calls a state of presence - and it can lead to a dramatic transformation in the way you live your life.
Reality -- life -- and the present moment are one! This statement is not to be thought about. It is to be lived! The Now, as Eckhart in his gifted way explains, is beyond the limits of thought and the "form" that this moment takes. The Ultimate Reality cannot be fully understood with the mind. But you can align yourself with it. In Eckhart's own words, "You are the Now." In this series that takes the introductory teachings to a deeper level, you will learn to access the power of Now and live a life of inner peace and harmony.
For those new to Eckhart's teachings, this is an ideal introduction. For those familiar with his work, be prepared for something fresh and extraordinary.

From guidance about stress and career to insights into the nature of the ego and the delusion of time, here is a far-reaching session that documents the vision of this modern spiritual teacher, and the truth he brings.

Even the Sun Will Die
When Eckhart agreed to be interviewed on September 11, 2001, he could not foresee the historic nature of this date or the suffering that would follow. As the day’s events unfolded, in real time, he responded with a calm and clear voice, helping to make sense out of the fear and chaos that will forever define this date.
Even the Sun Will Die documents this historic meeting with Eckhart and the comforting wisdom he revealed that day.
We live in a time, he says, when we define ourselves through our enemies; and science and technology are in the service of human madness. Yet even in the face of disaster, a miracle happens when we say “yes” to living in this moment and no other. This “great opening,” he teaches, can serve as nothing less than the beginning of a revolution in human consciousness with the potential to transform our world and everyone in it.
Eckhart comments on his own awakening, and what he sees as the next step in human evolution. From insights into the way out of suffering, to evidence that a new consciousness is already rising, Even the Sun Will Die confirms Eckhart Tolle’s place among the most important and accessible spiritual teachers of our time.

The Realization of Being.
Eckhart explores our highest purpose in life -- and how meditation can help us attain it -- with The Realization of Being. “Words are useful signposts,” Eckhart begins, but our main spiritual teacher is stillness. This powerful energy field is always available to us through meditation. In simple language he explains how to “listen with your entire body,” while working with the body, mind, and attention in order to “merge with this moment.”
As we go beyond the need for thought, he teaches, we achieve the meditative state of “no mind” or “presence” that is effortless, joyful, and natural. Through this timeless path we merge with the universal purpose, and become a divine presence. A revolution in human consciousness has already started, Eckhart teaches. We can advance this revolution -- now -- with the help of The Realization of Being.

This long-awaited second book by renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle provides a "going deeper" into the teaching already so eloquently and clearly expressed in his first book The Power of Now. Although the teaching takes on new depth, added dimensions and specific focuses, it is even easier to grasp since Eckhart writes in short, clear entries ranging from one line to one page. Each entry is concise and complete in itself, even though they have been astutely organized into 10 topic clusters ranging from "Stillness & Silence" and "Beyond the Thinking Mind" to "Relationships" and " Suffering & the End of Suffering". Whether read individually, as a topic cluster, or in their totality, these entries take on a Tranformative power that can awaken the reader to Self-Realization, to their true nature.
While spiritually profound, Stillness Speaks is also intensely practical. Eckhart tells us how to be with another in a relationship, which can contain and weather all things, how to "sit" with a dying person, where to find wisdom, how to free ourselves of guilt, and how to control the runaway-thinking mind.
Underneath the words, between them, in the energy of presence conveyed by them, we find the power of Stillness. This vibrantly alive state found only in the here and Now, is one with our Being and the field out of which all "arises".

If you'd like to hear Eckhart's voice, here's part of a talk he has given on "Dealing With The Pain Body" (10,317KB)
Gangaji ... born Toni Roberson, grew up in Mississippi. Like many of her contemporaries, she searched for fulfillment through relationships, career, motherhood, political activism and spiritual practicel.
Her search ended in 1990, when she met Sri Poonjaji, a student or Ramana Maharshi, on the banks of the Ganges River, and the floodgates of self-recognition opened.
Today, Gangaji is a teacher and author who travels the world offering her teacher's invitation to fully recognise the absolute freedom and unchanging peace that is the truth of one's being.
NEW -- The Diamond in Your Pocket
“The secret gem of truth has been hidden in the core of your own heart all along. My invitation is to stop all movement of your mind away from truth so that you can discover directly, for yourself, this jewel that is alive within you.” — Gangaji
We are living in an unusual time, a time when ordinary people with limitations and conditioned habits have the opportunity to awaken to self-realization — and not only to awaken, but to stay true to what is real in the face of thoughts, emotions, desires, and other “obstacles” that may arise in consciousness.
This new book from Gangaji points us directly to the diamond of truth that we really are. It offers us clear support in allowing any seeming obstacle to become a conduit for deeper awakening as the diamond is “polished naturally by life itself.”
This book is also available in either hardcover or softcover print editions.

"Universal consciousness is the underlying fabric of reality. All that comes into manifestation arises as an expression of this formless fabric, in the same manner in which dreams arise and express the unconscious mind. During this intensive we will explore some of the startling and unexpected ways the fabric of consciousness works to create the world and your experience of it." ~ Adyashanti
This highly recommended 7-CD album was recorded live at a weekend intensive with Adyashanti November 18–19, 2006, in San Rafael, CA.
It offers a profound and intimate investigation into the freedom of spiritual awakening. Included are satsang talks, questions from the audience, and powerful direct inquiry dialogues.
NEW -- Silent Retreat at Asilomar
With over 14 hours of Adyashanti's most powerful form of teaching, this album contains the complete, unedited talks and dialogues from a 5-silent retreat.
The magic of satsang comes alive in this beautiful 3-CD album with talks of unsurpassed clarity and dialogues rich in humor and insight. Adyashanti invites us into the sacred opportunity to find out for ourselves what lies beyond the limitations of our imagined existence.
This album includes a guided meditation on letting everything be as it is, and explores such topics as:
Recorded in Camden, ME, September 2005.
In this penetrating and lively exploration of spiritual life after awakening, Adyashanti offers vital clarity and direction for those in the delicate period following the "spiritual honeymoon."
After realizing one's true identity, the journey involves diving in to all aspects of existence as experienced through the mind, heart, and gut. With almost 4 hours of talks and dialogues Adyashanti explores:
In this fascinating, no-holds-barred satsang, Adyashanti explains where our spirituality is really headed. Along the way, we can experience profound realizations, bliss, mystical states, and personal freedom.
But at some point, if we're lucky, escape is no longer an option, and we realize that our own remarkably resilient personal
Have you noticed that we are happiest when we are free of ourselves and we suffer when we identify with thoughts and feelings?
Adyashanti explains that the "me" is just consciousness reflecting back upon what the mind creates, while freedom is the absence of this movement.
This satsang is highly recommended for the core teaching it conveys.
Adyashanti's Zen teacher once said, "Everyone's doing a dance. You must dance your dance all the way out. Only the phonies don't get enlightened."
This humorous satsang clarifies that the true spiritual journey is about being faithful to one's own inclinations.
Engaging Q&A explores the subtleties of surrender and the futility of waiting for change.
As long as you believe that you are separate from the rest of existence, subtle and hidden fears will dominate your life.
In this forthright and important satsang, Adyashanti reveals how to move beyond all fear into the all-inclusive reality of love
What would happen if you were to allow everything to be exactly as it is? What if you gave up the need for control, and instead embraced the whole of your experience in each moment that arose?
This engaging and elegant hardcover book invites you to explore these life-changing questions as Adyashanti offers his unique and powerful perspective on the art of meditation. Chapter titles include:
Based on the True Meditation 3-CD set (see below),
this book includes 29 chapters, a 16-page interview, and a 60-minute CD with two guided meditations.
3 x CDs. Running time: 3.5 hrs.
What would happen if you were to allow everything to be exactly as it is? Only when you let go of all techniques—even the concept of yourself as a meditator — will you open to the art of true meditation: dwelling in the natural state.
This 3 x CD set from Sounds True publishing company includes teachings and guided meditations. Adyashanti invites listeners to explore:
During this landmark retreat in the fall of 2005, Adyashanti distilled the essence of his teachings into five truths about the nature of ultimate reality. New students discovered a deep resonance with the profound simplicity, while advanced students found themselves riveted by the maturity, freshness, and radical directness of the teachings. These 10 CDs offer 12 hours of edited recordings from this powerfully transformative retreat. Included are:
"You are going to lose your spiritual world if you take this far enough."
10 x CDs. Running time: 12 hrs.
This delightful 6-CD set presents satsang at its finest. Exceptionally fresh talks and honest dialogues will cut through the concepts of both new and seasoned listeners, going deeply into the innocent, simple presence of being. Topics include:
"This is like spiritual triage. You're being exposed to an awful lot in two days. I've got the big sword swinging." ~ Adyashanti
Recorded at a weekend intensive in Santa Monica, CA, in January 2005.
6 x CDs. Running time: 7 hr. 45 min.
This beautiful album offers a complete introduction to Adyashanti's teachings with more than 7 hours of teachings, two guided meditations, and an exclusive Sounds True interview. Topics include:
For those who are seeking a path of simplicity, not bound by the trappings of spiritual practice, this album offers a fresh and humble approach to Zen wisdom.
8 x CDs. Running time: 8 hrs. 26 min.
This special album is a complete, unedited recording of a two-day seminar given jointly by Adyashanti and Sufi mystic Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee. Together they lead an exploration of our deep connection to the divine and to all of life.
"The revelation of Oneness brings a great peace and rest at the center of our being, but it also opens up an opportunity and an impulse to live and express that revelation in the world of duality. To transcend the world of time and space is not the end of spiritualty but rather the beginning." ~ Adyashanti
"Within the heart is the spark of oneness. How can our primal knowing of oneness come alive within ourself and within the world? Mysticism awakens us to our real power and potential, so that we can contribute fully at this time of global transformation." ~ Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
10 x CDs. Running time: approx 10.5 hours.
"Nothing is more misunderstood in spirituality than enlightenment. By cutting through myths and misinformation you can begin to awaken within yourself the deep inner transformation and revolution that is the living experience of enlightenment. Such an experience is not simply an insight, epiphany or mystical experience, for these experiences are time bound and will fade away. Awakening to enlightenment does not happen to an individual, it happens to and within the very fabric of existence: Life itself wakes up." ~ Adyashanti
Appropriate for all spiritual seekers, this CD album requires no preparation beyond openness to the truth. It includes several talks and dialogues with the participants at the Omega Institute weekend retreat September 30 -- October 2, 2005.
3 x CDs. Running time: 2 hrs. 50 min.
In this dialogue, researcher John Astin draws forth answers from Adyashanti that go straight to the core. Addressing everything from the origin of ego to the alchemy of resting in our being, John leaves no spiritual stone unturned. Adyashanti shares many insights including:
"Our natural state is a beautiful paradox. While going nowhere and accomplishing nothing, we are also living in a state of constant discovery and constant expression. Always being and always becoming—this is the movement of that which is eternally still." ~ Adyashanti
John Astin is a nationally recognized researcher in the field of mind-body medicine, whose work has focused on the integration of spiritual practices in healthcare. An internationally known singer and songwriter, he is the author of Too Intimate for Words, a book of contemplative poetry and prose.

Falling Awake
Price: $29.90
'Falling Awake, Kirtana's latest CD, has recently been released. As is the case with her other CDs, 'Falling Awake' could be described as 'Music for Awakening' or 'Contemporary Sacred'. In Kirtana's own words, the best description for both her music and her purpose in sharing it is to "celebrate divine love and the truth of what we are."
Here's a review from Steve Ryals:
"Whenever I hear Kirtana sing, I feel as though a warm, jasmine-scented spring wind had begun blowing through my heart. I am so grateful to have been listening to and reviewing her music for nearly 13 years. Each time Kirtana brings out a new album, I am amazed, thinking that she has, once again, jumped straight into the heart of God. Now, with the release of Falling Awake, once again I am delighted to say that Kirtana has created her very best work yet (and that's saying something, given the extraordinary body of work she already has). The music is gorgeous, and her lyrics are transcendently heart-opening. What a gift Kirtana is to this world.
For those of you who have yet to experience the sublime grace of Kirtana's music, let me just say that she is a singer-songwriter of vast spiritual depth. Her voice has the ability to open and caress the most broken of hearts. She plays the guitar and ukulele with unobtrusive excellence, writing songs that delight on every level. Her compositions are filled with such love that I find myself transported, again and again, into a light-filled arena where there is only peace. The musicians who accompany Kirtana play piano, cello, violin, bass, drums, keyboards, percussion and some backing vocals with an exquisite artistry that serves to showcase the brilliant jewels of Falling Awake.
Though every single track on Falling Awake is well worth your undivided attention, I want to mention a couple of the songs in particular. "Home" is an honoring song, appreciating those who, in spite of having gone through times of great trauma, are able to shine from their core of unconditional love. Bruce Roscoe's violin especially touches my heart, as it does on "A Peaceful World," perhaps my favorite Kirtana song to date. Her clear-eyed look at the world as it is, with all its suffering and chaos, brings tears every time I hear it. For those wanting devotional music at its most sacred, be sure to treat your heart soon to Falling Awake."
A Deeper Surrender.
Singer-songwriter Kirtana's A Deeper Surrender is an exquisite paean to the ineffable longing for the Beloved that stirs many a soul searching. Kirtana's songs are like glittering diamonds, offering a multitude of facets that reveal themselves more fully with each listening. Whether it's a taste of sampled pipe organ, as on 'Always Here', or mandolin, as on 'Open Secret', the album seems to offer something new to appreciate, even after many spins. Kirtana's dusky, delicate voice seems hard-wired to her heart. Expressing even the subtlest of emotions, her singing is at once sensuous and sublime, celebrating the inarticulate speech of the heart with passionate grace.
Guest performers include David Darling on cello, Melissa Phillippe on harmany vocals, and Barry Phillips on piano, organ, and percussion. Other musicians add flute, bass, and guitar. For those customers searching for grace, beauty, and peace, A Deeper Surrender will become an essential companion, a true friend of the heart. With her articulate ache to unite with the divine, Kirtana offers beautiful lyrics that are poetry in song. She is a Rumi for our times. $29.95
Yet perhaps Kirtana's most impressive feat is her ability to weave these diverse elements and talents together while remaining true to the spiritual core of the album. Kirtana's lyrics speak of spirituality, from the light and playful to the sublime, with delicate passion. Her voice, as it plays with the instruments, is never demanding but always an inviting focal point in every song. The sincerity of 'This Embrace' is further enhanced through vocals by Gangaji, a well-known spiritual teacher.
For those seeking spiritual fulfillment, 'This Embrace' is not to be missed." $29.95 
This Embrace.
Kirtana is an artist of many mediums; her angelic voice and brilliant musical compositions are matched by her gifts as both poet and songwriter. Her ability to bring together other talented musicians to support her musical skills is also laudable: Hilary Stagg on harp, Alex de Grassi on guitar, and Spencer Brewer on piano, are but a few who join her on 'This Embrace.
55 minutes of some of the most healing music you're ever likely to hear. The stories she tells, and the pictures she paints, will have the thoughtful listener in tears as hearts open and the floodgates of emotion come pouring through. Uplifting, profoundly moving, these songs sill become friends... Devotional singing on the most exalted of levels. $29.95
Songmaster Kirtana brings a poetic depth to all her compositions... and... offers gentle expressions of the heart in this well-produced 'metaphysical folk' album. $29.95
A dreamlike trip to the top of the world! The light of the Himalaya, the limitless Mongolian steppe and the archaic power of Tibet conjured up by a master of meditative World-Music.
The deep musical feeling relieves you of everyday stress and leads you gently to inner balance and equilibrium. Incomparable passages of the mind without the hassles of travelling: power from the top of the world - immediate and stressfree - any time you wish!
TRACKLISTING
Songs of Vasistha are a journey of sound and awareness. Some songs are contemplative and some really rock as the CD explores timeless consciousness.
Although unlike ambient new age music, the Songs of Vasistha can bring the listener into the moment. They are great for meditation or house cleaning, and the last several songs are a portal for dissolving into infinite consciousness, meditative awareness, or sleep.
The "Songs of Vasistha" were inspired by the teachings and stories of Vasistha's Yoga, an ancient Sanskrit text that is described as the earliest work with the highest wisdom of Vedanta, or Jnana yoga. It is the instruction of the Sage Vasistha to Sri Rama as recorded by the poet Valmiki.
In more recent times, this wisdom has been lived by Ramana Maharshi, J. Krishnamurti, and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. Adyashanti is an extraordinary contemporary teacher in this tradition.
The songs were composed in a few short weeks and were recorded in the high desert of Arivaca, Arizona ~ in the energetic shadow of the sacred mountain Baboquivari. They are performed by the band Kaivaly at the Desert Light Labyrinth in Arivaca, Arizona.
Kaivaly is a transliteration of a Sanskrit word for absolute freedom. Creating this music has been an absolute joy for the band; Mary Scott on vocals and acoustic guitar, Charlie Tucker on lead guitar and bass and Peter Ragan on percussion.
Visit Kaivaly's Web site for complete song lyrics and more.
TRACKLISTING
Folk rock that brings you into the infinite moment; sometimes gently, sometimes with a real moving rhythm, always with a consciousness that cuts through time and space.
A deeply felt prayer for the ears and spirit,performed by Nawang Khechog with Tibetan bamboo flute,didgeridoo,and bells. With long,soothing phrases,this former Tibetan monk invites you to experience the profound interior calm that allows for cultivation of a loving spirit.
Each phrase and note of Sounds of Peace invokes an extraordinary tranquility (one hospital has used it hundreds of times to soothe women in childbirth) and is regarded as a valuable meditation tool itself.
Through this spare, haunting work we become the wind,the clouds,the mountains,the rivers - we become peace. Ten compositions.
Born in Tibet,Nawang Khechog spent his earliest years as the child of nomads. In his boyhood he first learned to play the bamboo flute,an ancient instrument popular in rural villages throughout Tibet. After the brutal subjugation of Tibet by Chinese Communists in 1949,Nawang and his family escaped to India. There he studied meditation and Buddhist philosophy,a path he followed as a monk for eleven years - four of them as a hermit. In 1986,he emigrated to Australia where he first performed,and his recordings achieved bestseller status.
TRACKLISTING
In Steve's words: Grace is the Name of the Game, chants for modern yogis, transcends the norm. It is chanting to illuminate, lighten and uplift those who sing or listen. I have been chanting for many years. I find it's one of the most effective ways to open the heart and still the mind, especially for people in the Western circumstance. All of the chants are ancient names of God, which invoke the presence of the divine. To sing them with devotion is to feel the joy inherent in them. Try it and see for yourself. $39.00 
The Offering.
The Offering; Epiphanies and Prayer Flags begins with a few relatively upbeat songs then winds down into more prayerful, introspective ballads about our relationship to ourselves, our planet and the cosmos. These messages of hope and healing are tenderly accompanied by cello, flute, keyboards, violin, piano, bass, tabla and percussion.
Healing Rain
Simple yet warm production values with classical guitar, keyboards, pedal steel, mandolin, cello, violin and flute beautifully support the poetry of her lyrics on this debut release. These mostly slow tempo original ballads have been referred to as "soothing and stunningly lovely.

Grace. -- his first music CD, is an eclectic mix of musical styles unlike anything already out there in this genre. From Rock to Gospel and even a stop in Brazil, he has covered many musical bases and created something that's even accessible to listeners outside the spiritual music arena.
Satsang.
-- A series of tracks recorded live in Australia, America, Germany and Denmark, Satsang reveals the power and simplicity of Deva Premal and Miten's live performances. As it is with satsang meditation, Deva Premal and Miten share their music without applause, inviting the listener to participate by joining with the chant, and by sitting with closed eyes for the duration of the meditation.
Satsang features un-plugged versions of some of the most popular chants from The Essence and Love is Space (including the Gayatri Mantra, "Chidananda" and "Yemaya Assessu"), plus original songs by Miten ("Empty Heart", "The Strength of a Rose" and more), as well as a bonus studio recording of "All Is Welcome Here".
Satsang is a precious offering celebrating the sacred space of silence. Joining Deva Premal (keyboards) and Miten (guitar), are their special musical friends, Kit Walker, Maneesh de Moor, Praful, and others. $29.95
The Essence.
-- As Deva Premal’s first release, The Essence lit a musical fire whose white hot flame continues to burn.
Backed by ambient grooves, subtle electronica and hand percussion, Deva Premal’s transcendent vocals induce ecstatic contemplation. The Gayatri Mantra, the world's oldest known mantra for purification and healing, is the centerpiece for this truly meditative album. $29.95
Love Is Space.
-- Glowing with an inspiring, heart-centered passion, Love Is Space sets a new musical standard for mantra singing and is the perfect instrument for creating a calm, impenetrable oasis on the massage table, meditation cushion or yoga mat. Deva Premal’s gorgeous voice floats above graceful arrangements on guitar, piano, harmonium, flute and light percussion, bringing these ancient mantras to life.
Love Is Space, Deva Premal's second solo album, contains six sacred mantras from India, including "Gatè Gatè", the heart sutra of Buddha, and "Om Mane Padme Hum", the ancient Tibetan invocation. Also included is the exquisitely performed West African chant, "Idè Werê Werê". $29.95
The result has the drive and rhythm of pop music, with an overarching architecture of mantra-like intonations for meditation. Lyrics tend to be simple, as in the majestic song. Miten says their music's purpose is "to awaken a longing in the heart for that which is omnipresent: the experience of silence and meditation." Songs for the Inner Lover invites repeated listening and achieving that goal. $29.95
This tribute to one of the most dynamic musical couples of our time includes an anthology CD featuring ten of this magical couple's best-loved tracks as well as a new, previously unreleased remix of "Hari Om Shiva Om" by dj Cheb i Sabbah. $39.95
Songs for the Inner Lover.
-- An album of spiritually inspired compositions themed after inner healing and self-acceptance... a very thought-provoking, energizing release. Featured are world music instruments including Tibetan bowls and temple bells, Indian tablas, and the guitar, bass, and congas of a rock ensemble.
More Than Music.
-- A beautiful 56-page CD-sized book in English, tells the story of Deva Premal and Miten's life together in their own words, along with many never-before-seen photos.
SAM BLIGHT
The track, Peter's Garden was inspired by the little Zen garden outside the dojo where satsang and other gatherings are held at Gurukula.
Many of Sam's compositions, he says, have arisen out of a deep sense of Presence, all are played in Presence and the album, he feels, was recorded from that perspective with almost no retakes.
Sam has played guitar since the age of thirteen. His finger style playing has been influenced by the likes of Chet Atkins, Leo Kotke, John Renborne, Richard Thompson, Ralph Towner, Stephan Grossman and his friend Andrew White to name a few. This is finger-style guitar at its finest, inspired by the joy of Being.
$20.00
In late 1999 his album The Lost Chords a was released to critical acclaim, winning best new artist of the year on the national radio program The Planet".
$20.00
The Footspa Dance
Sam Blight plays guitar regularly at Gurukula, often accompanied by wife, Navi, on viola. These gentle and moving pieces beautifully compliment the meditation and satsangs enjoyed regularly in this dedicated space.
The Lost Chords.
-- Cool guitar harmonies for overheated minds.
Sam's first album To the Island produced by Gary Burke in 1989, featuring Sam's original compositions and recorded with an ensemble of local Western Australian musicians, only ever received local release as a cassette, achieving a small but enthusiastic following.
