I use this music for slow and deep Massage. Where the emphasis is on slow. This music can take both therapist and client into a powerful trance-like state in which the mind and the body once again become reconnected.
If you want to create an atmosphere of heavy slow connection where the mind is encouraged to slow down and meet the body then this is the piece. It is like Massaging in a Russian orthodox cathedral!
To date it is the only music I have come a cross that will truly SLOW the Massage down and help build the connection between Mind and Body. It is entirely of the element Earth.
A Review...
“What could be more sublime than a wall of dark, rotund Russian voices shimmering against the rising, ornate walls of a great cathedral? Not much, and this compilation of absolutely magnificent music proves it. The label Hearts of Space returns on this third choral collection to the ominous Slavic chant of their first choral album, Sacred Treasures I, which gathered together recordings of stunning Bulgarian and Russian choirs portraying the sacred works of Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, and other composers. Whereas Treasures I pulled from varied sections of sacred liturgies, including solo passages, Treasures III most often stays in harmonic chant with select voices occasionally rising and rolling in polyphonic heavenly calls. The collective voice draws the emotive tension taut here, as on Rimsky-Korsakov's "Our Father," which uses the absence of darkness to later juxtapose bold, rising drama. The Kiev chant "Blessed Art Thou O Lord" sends chills down the spine as the whispering consonants of the Russian language skip across the ancient repetition like sand skitters over a stormy beach. This is a collection as breathtakingly beautiful as the Cathedral of the Dormition itself. Not to be missed. Karen J Hug
