Product Description
CD Description
For over a thousand years, special golden "singing bowls" have been part of a secret healing tradition in Tibet. Never before recorded, this rare 11th century healing instrument produces a breathtaking range of overtones. The sound evokes a transcendent state of meditation (especially when listened to with headphones). The incredible sustained vibrations resonate and attune the listener at the cellular level. No synthesizers or other instruments are added.

Thea Surasu's 'Singing Bowls of Shangri-la' is the best of the Tibetan Bowl meditation music I have heard. Each note reverberates in layers of intricate vibrations that seem to continually change. This creates in the listener an altered state of consciousness, and a feeling of deep relaxation.
Unlike many other reproductions of singing bowls, Surasu deliberately allows the resonance to linger, thus the meditational state is never jolted.
There is a profound sacredness in the sounds produced by these mystical intruments. The Tibetan masters believe that singing bowls are "an embodiment of spiritual sound that tunes body, mind and soul."
Listen to this CD and you will believe them!

The "Singing Bowls of Shangri-La" is everything I had hoped for. From start to finish, Thea Surasu creates the most extraordinary sounds with the sacred bowls steeped in myth and Buddhist practices.
The sound recording is of exceptional quality - its almost as though the bowls are being played in the same room as the listener.
I have listened to the CD many times and also in conjunction with meditating - the sound is beautiful, pure, and almost "golden". The profound sounds created on these mysterious and enchanting bowls really do bring the universe to attention - OM!

Great CD!

This CD is not music in the usual sense ....it is a soundscape of healing vibrations. I really think the composer,Thea Surasu, knows his stuff. My wife and I meditate twice a day. We usually listen to it while meditating in the afternoons. I find that it really helps me focus, and cut out some of that constant mental chatter which is so distracting. Thank you Thea.

Amazing soundscapes
9 July 2002
Format:Audio CD
I recieved this CD recently, and i am very happy with it. Thea Surasu has done an absolutely wonderful job of keeping the sound continuously beautiful and calming, unlike some other so called "meditation" recordings i have heard. This CD puts me into a state of deep relaxation, and i have noticed that i loose all track of time. I would recomend following the suggestion in the liner notes about listening simultaneously on headphones and speakers. Just make sure that the volume of either one is not so high that you can't hear the other, and also that when the headphones are on your ears, you can still hear the speakers through them. This adds wonderful depth to the sound, and really enhances the effect. The harmonic overtones of the bowls are wonderful, and sometimes concentrating on one of them is all i need to relax. Thea also does a great job with timing the strokes of the bowls and continuous harmonics with changes at the right time. In the course of the symphony, you will feel that there are certain sounds that really aid in concentration, and Thea dwells on them for the appropriate period of time. Overall a very well done work! Thanks Thea!

Soothing, Mindless, Relaxation and Healing
29 Dec 2004
Format:Audio CD
Thea will bring you to a place of static, soothing relaxation. The music is specially helpful for those with Monkey minds and is amazing when used with headphones (I highly recommend this). You can hear Thea's breathing but it is very soft and unoticeable once you focus on the sound of the bowls. I don't find that it interferes with the music. I have also used the music for centering, chakra alingment, and healing and it works great. Be prepared to leave the world behind when you turn the music on!
