XUMANTRA music is perfect for yoga, massage, meditation, relaxation, healing, creative movement, and to invoke a sacred ambience.

A note from the artist:

This collection features compositions performed on different sets of harmonically-matched Himalayan singing bowls, bells, gongs, and chimes, chosen for tunings that are consonant, gently melodic, and mildly entrancing. Great care was taken to capture the complex sonic character of these unique instruments. The selections are sequenced to provide a complete and dynamic sound healing experience.

Singing Bowls
Listen

A collection of exquisite meditational improvisations on harmonically-tuned, authentic, old Tibetan singing bowls. Gentle and melodic, yet powerful, these sounds induce profound states of relaxation conducive to healing and transformation, and are ideal for bodywork, yoga, and meditation. With extremely high harmonic content, and great attention to detail, this is one of the finest singing bowl recordings ever produced.

The Golden Portal
Listen

The Golden Portal
. . . uses Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, kalimbas, congas, cymbals, cowbells, slit drum, rattles, guitar, and banjo to fashion trance music that is magical in its ability to relax the listener almost immediately. . . Your sense of time, space, and geography can easily be altered by listening... Great for deep meditation.
- New Age Voice 11/00

. . .a fabulous meditative blend . . . that is rich, resonant, and well mixed. Xumantra's expertise with ancient instruments shines... If music is a reflection of the artist, then Xumantra mirrors a perfect relationship with sound.
