in Meditation Music

Known for glorious, highly musical renditions of traditional Hindu chants, German devotional singer Deva Premal, with her husband, multi-instrumentalist Miten, strikes a balance between artful presentation and reverence. Premal incants these healing chants 108 times each, but with minimal musical accompaniment. She places less emphasis on melody and more on reverberating, soothing hum. Her intention with this release is to support her listeners; daily chanting practice. To that end, she includes instructions for appropriate applications of each chant (removing obstacles, creating abundance, joy, and bliss, etc.) Her gorgeous and resonant voice (familiar to Battlestar Galactica fans from the opening them music of the show) is multi-tracked for maximum effect, and the result is a hypnotic listening experience, even for people who don’t intend to chant along.

Reiki Music Editor’s Comment: I’ve always liked chanting for use in meditation and Reiki healing. The healing power of the human voice is amplified by the soothing chants.  Deva Premal has several great chant albums, Mantra for Precarious Times is one of my favorites.
