No serious collection of New Age music should be without it.
2001 | Label: Steven Halpern's Inner Peace Music / IODA

No serious collection of New Age music would be complete without Steven Halpern's classic Chakra Healing Suite. Halpern pioneered the use of particular notes that resonate with a particular chakra (energy center) and then moves the listener from root to crown, harmonically resonating with each ascending tone. Included in this version is Halpern's follow-up work, Spectrum Suite, also based on chakric alignment.

More Bits of Static

Track 18 has bits of static as well at :32, :45, 1:32. Noticeable if you are really focussing on the sound or using headphones. It would be nice to have a clean version of this, especially since we are paying. Of course, not everyone will notice or be bothered by it.

Active Healing

Listening to this disc is not a relaxing experience. It's not meant to be. This is truly healing music.

Maximum Relaxation

dbarbara

Listen to this if you need an audio experience something like floating on a cloud of bubbles -- no rough edges or fou-cultural references here, just a composer that wants you to chill, in a nice way.

relaxed

I never expected to find my body responding to the samples. I instantly started to relax my tensed muscles from a long work week. I had not even realized I was clinching my body until i accidentally clicked a sample. I am actually shocked at the effect it had. I am not much of a new age fan anymore but obviously-music is more healing and powerful than we imagine.passing our minds and nourishing our souls

it really works!

While listening to this album i was able to open all 7 chakras and it was one of the most amazing feelings i have ever experienced during meditation. I found the second part useful in closing all the chakras and grounding myself. It did take me several tries to be able to even open them because the album is so relaxing that most times i fell asleep by the time i reached the third chakra!

A MUST!

The first time I listened to this CD (loud, in my bedroom) I had an out-of-body experience. It saved the life of a friend of mine. This is an absolute essential part of your new-age library!!!

New Age

By Robert Phoenix, eMusic Contributor

New age music, a genre roughly defined by its spiritual resonance and relaxing qualities, has roots that stretch back into the early 20th century, as impressionist composers like Satie, Faure and Debussy began to craft music that had magical qualities and a lyrical component that lead the listener more into silence rather than into sound. Debussy's "Preludes" and Satie's classic "Gymnopédies" are just two examples of early new age music. The sound of the genre took… more »

They Say All Music Guide

Chakra Suite is a reworking of Steven Halpern’s debut CD, Spectrum Suite. He has added an ethereal texture to the original set to create an absolutely chilling effect. Halpern has a lot of people fooled; they try to write him off as new age fluff and a Muzak maker. Indeed, some of his more lightweight stuff deserves the brush-off. But when he’s on, man, he’s on! This simple minimalism is psychoactive and hypnotic. Halpern’s reputation as a sound healer is legendary, and this is an extension of that reputation. This CD includes the original and reworked suites and excerpts from other sound-healing discs. – Jim Brenholts
