Featuring chants from eight spiritual traditions, Awakening ((Spring Hill Music), by Robert Gass and On Wings of Song may be their most beautiful recording yet. Gass, a modern master of chant, is also joined by Glen Velez, Margot Krimmel, Randy Armstrong, Steve Gorn and Omar Faruk Tekbilek. With traditional instruments like the oud, Eastern Ney Flute, Bansuri flute, harp, and eastern drums to accent the soaring vocal harmonies, the group explores chants from Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Hindu and Muslim traditions. Awakening is a powerful and inspiring experience of the sacred.

If you're looking for serene music to accompany a healing session, consider Music of Joy: Songs to Enrich the Soul (Musik International) by Jim Jenkins. This soothing album with harp, guitar, flute, french horn, bassoon, piano, keyboard, and choir is the musical equivalent of floating on a cloud with angels providing the soundscape. Music of Joy would be a lovely sound environment for meditation or guided visualizations, as the music is tender and heart-centered. Jenkins' compositions range from Latin and classical to New Age, offering something for nearly every listener, and yet the transitions are seamless and never distracting. This is a very healing album.
