Such soothing, liquid sounds … such beautiful music. I especially love the piece she composed called “Breathing Forest”… hahhhhh… sigh…it’s feather-like but grounding… so lovely:)
And you know how much I love FORESTS – so much that I flip for it:)
That extra oxygen boost helps unleash the energy, you might call “exuberance”, I thought I had lost and the desire to open up the heart to the sky:)Feeling that oneness when you know trees’ exhale is your inhale – together it’s such feeling of wholeness – that feeling of coming full complete circle.
So grateful that I was able to go to her only performance here in the Bay Area as she normally goes between Japan and New York, not so available here in the Bay Area. What a welcomed stopover she made…
I have heard crystal bowl sounds before at Mt. Shasta but this is the first time I heard it fused or weaved into piano music. She gracefully merges the two instruments, where the crystal bowl generate not just “sounds” but more. The two collaborative sounds create music of healing … The vibration takes you to another realm and its mesmerizing to see her perform – while I loved watching her play the piano, at the same time, chime the crystal bowls to create unique blend… after awhile, you feel sooo sooo relaxed… you just want to close your eyes and take in the vibration. Unlike other concerts where you sit upright with good manners, at this lovely concert, she gently coaxes us that it’s perfectly alright to lie down and rest, nap, LISTEN – we were on our back just absorbing the vibe not just with our ears but with our whole body – practically in a trance state. (I just wished we had all the props to give our body the comfort to take even more healing powers:)
Luckily I was able to take home a piece of the sampling as she had released a CD – I thought to share this great gift with some of the yoga students with discernment – perhaps I will make it one of my playlists for a certain type and style of yoga classes. This sound will help restore students back to optimal health – I was convinced through my own experience. Being December holiday season, I myself arrived to the concert dead exhausted and stressed fighting the traffic, dealing with what I call the jagged edgy vibes … but almost like a restorative yoga session (which would eliminate our physical discomforts like tension, tightness, soreness, stiffness … the list goes on), after her concert, I felt soooo much better, recharged to have so much energy to face all that was to come after the concert – my evening shift awaited and I now had the energy to be fully present to meet the demands of others. Healing music is so precious. Dressed in all white, she looked like a delicate angel who had gone to the heavens and come back to provide light to those who seek it. Yogis are seekers. This seeker was so entranced – thank you so much for such an amazing concert. As far as energy transmission, nothing is better than “LIVE” – no quality CD or stereo system can match the artist’s LIVE performance where every note is ALIVE, sparkling with “energy”, “prana”, “chi” or “ki” in Japanese – but here’s a UTUBE video I found to give you an approximate idea:
Just close your eyes and imagine … the music transports you to ….. (fill in the blank:)
Or in my case – think NOTHING. It’s meditation practice that bubbles with no effort, foaming together streams of consciousness.
