CD EARTH CHANTS

Earth Chants 

with voice, percussions, and sounds of nature 

Nature: for me, it’s like magic and a mystery. Where the healing begins and is completed. Like coming home. Where I feel truly alive - deeply connected to myself and to the Earth.

In this first recording Tiho Spavaj,  I am particularly happy with the mesmerizing sounds of crickets in the background. They inspired us in creating soft and whispering vocals in the ASMR fashion. It also inspired us in organizing vocals in a way that is free and spontaneous, yet organized, and cohesive: following the way cricket sounds are organized. I created this music peace as a meditative vocal healing improvisation that has two parts in it. The first part is invigorating, shamanistic like vocal improvisation. Here I was inspired by the ethnic melodies of East Europe. The second part is more soothing and calming- dreamlike. The recording is called It’s called “Tiho Spavaj” freely translated to “ Sleep Softly”.  It represents an energetic transition from day to night. From the invigorating sun energy to the reflective and calming energy of the moon.

Why Drumming ? 

Drumming is an ancient approach to healing that has been used for thousands of years by indigenous people all around the world to strengthen and maintain their physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Extensive research done in the area of the healing effects of drumming shows us that playing the drum helps reduce tension, anxiety, and stress, boosting the immune system. Drumming releases endogenous opiates, which are the body’s own morphine-like painkillers. It stimulates the release of endorphins, and alpha waves in the brain, which are associated with general feelings of well-being and euphoria. 

It also induces deep relaxation. In one study, blood samples from participants who participated in an hour-long drumming session revealed a reversal in stress hormones. 

The sound of the drum induces deep relaxation, lowers blood pressure, produces feelings of well-being, releases emotional trauma, and reduces stress.

What is the benefit of Soma Yoga Nidra? 

Soma refers to deeply focused bodywork. Nidra is a form of yoga that is focused on deep relaxation. It is also popularly known as yogic sleep. However, the idea is not to fall asleep but to relax into a deeper state of relaxation, allowing the brain waves to slow down from beta brain-waves to alpha and further on to theta and delta. 

Why is this important? Our brains mostly operate in high-frequency beta waves that are commonly observed in an awakened state and are associated with stress, anxiety, high energy, and arousal. Most of us spend our time and energy in our overactive thinking minds and with our bodies in flight-fight-freeze mode. 

To relax deeply we need to shift our brain waves. Our bodies, brains, and minds need this on a regular basis to stay healthy and in balance. In our western society today we have forgotten the art of relaxation. Most of us do even know how it feels to be deeply relaxed. Practicing Yoga Nidra helps the brain to move to alpha, theta, and delta brain wave state helping to activate the self-healing capacity of the body. 

So how does it work?

You need a good internet connection, headphones, few blankets and a few pillows. The event will be on the Facebook in a PRIVATE group. If you like to join me you can  add me as a friend
