S-D1b. THE SPIRIT OF SHAKUHACHI BOX SET [I]

A 7-volume boxed set focusing on shakuhachi as a tool for healing meditation. Available as a set or individually.

Seven recordings of chakra balancing music. Listening to the different recordings can help to activate, clear and balance each of the chakras.

S-D1c. Vol. 1 - SOLO SHAKUHACHI MEDITATION [I]
The first chakra is Red and is the ROOT. This chakra deals with life energy and grounds our spirit in the material world. This recording starts with the shakuhachi itself.

S-D1d. Vol. 2 - SHAKUHACHI & CHANTING MEDITATION [I]
The second chakra is Orange and is found at the SACRAL. It deals with how we create in the world; with pleasure, well-being, sexuality and abundance. This recording focuses on improvisation; letting yourself explore; testing the range of your own creativity. The pulse of the chant; the rhythm - heals, grounds. You've got a base - go ahead - let go.

S-D1e. Vol. 3 - SHAKUHACHI & KOTO MEDITATION [I]
The third chakra is Yellow and is in the SOLAR PLEXUS. It deals with intellect, intuition and lessons to be learned in life. It is ego, self-esteem, confidence, decision making and personal power. This recording shows us how you're probably (if you're a westerner) seeing the world through an invisible yellow filter, and no, it's not smog. In learning, judging - remember the filter.

S-D1f. Vol. 4 - SHAKUHACHI DUETS MEDITATION [I]
The fourth chakra is Green and is at our heart. It deals with heart and emotion. It is love, joy, relationship and peace. This recording shows us how the more you open, the clearer your sight becomes. You see yourself, you see the other, you see the other in yourself, (etc.) The sounds echo, harmonize, fleeing each other, only to meet up again. Two shakuhachis in relationship.

S-D1g. Vol. 5 - SHAKUHACHI & VOICE MEDITATION [I]
The fifth chakra is Blue and is at our throat. This chakra deals with voice, speaking our truth; integrity, will-power and how we move ourselves forward in the world. This recording deals with voice and flute as one. Your voice states your presence in the world. It is your sound - let it be authentic.

S-D1h. Vol. 6 - SHAKUHACHI & HARMONICS MEDITATION [I]
The sixth chakra is Purple and is at our brow; it is often referred to as the third eye. It deals with compassion and intuition; wisdom, discernment and imagination. This recording deals with harmonics; ethereal, whispy, are sometimes called ghost tones - something you can feel as well as hear. The third eye is listening.

S-D1i. Vol. 7 - THE SPIRIT OF SHAKUHACHI - Compilation [I]
The seventh chakra is White and is at our crown. This chakra deals with our connection to the spiritual realm and connects us with beauty and universal energy. This last recording is a compilation with two selections from each Chakra recording above. It is all contained in the spirit. May your spirit be full.

S-D1l. SACRED SOUND FOR THE SPA [I]

Solo shakuhachi.

"It would be great If you could take this CD with you on a visit to the spa. Just ask the practitioner there to put the music on for you to enjoy during your treatment. We can’t always treat ourselves to a spa visit. Why not try and create an atmosphere of relaxation in your own home by putting aside some time for yourself."

S-D1q. MIRACLES [I] Shakuhachi, Voice, Guitar, Keyboards & Piano. The ‘Miracles’ recording is the most lyrical and melodic of Debbie's Healinhg Music CD’s. "I use a lot of my voice in this recording. I began to sing the year I had an injury and couldn’t play my Shakuhachi. My voice sounds a lot like the Shakuhachi, I think partly because I was first and foremost a flute player. Sometimes in the recordings I think that I hear my voice singing, but then I realize there isn’t any voice there, it is the Shakuhachi.‘Miracles’ has been played during births and deaths, both miracles of the soul."

For thousands of years people have walked on the path of this symbol and I think that it is woven into our very being.
