ALIGNED: A Planetary Mantra & Gong Shower is a different
type of release. From
the artist’s website, it says: Charleene’s meditation
music compositions often incorporate binaural beats. Binaural beats are two
slightly differently tuned frequencies played simultaneously, one in each ear,
to create a third perceived by the brain as its own “beat” pattern. Binaural
beats are known to reduce anxiety and nurture relaxation.
She incorporates all nine planets and the sun for a celestial
dream on the astral plane (of the stars) into this mesmerizing collection of
tracks. The voice of Charleene is quite beautiful. Along with her music, she is
working on her Ph.D. in Natural Health. The recording frequencies have
scientific proof that they can heal the mind and body.
I don’t usually sit to listen to a recording like this; it has a
higher purpose. And I think most folks would use it for focus and meditation.
The repetitive nature of mantras is for your intense focus (A mantra is a
sacred utterance, a numinous sound, a syllable, a word or phonemes, or a group
of words in Sanskrit, Pali, and other languages). The sounds and vibrations
intend to relax the body so that healing can occur. That is my interpretation;
however, it may differ for everyone. It is a tool to use as you wish. Everyone
has different needs and thus seeks out those sounds and vibrations that will
lead them to enlightenment.
The longest track is “Jupiter” (15:24), and the shortest is
“Pluto” (5:58). Regarding meditation, you may want to take one long track or
combine two for your needs.
Some of the information provided here is familiar to those
already meditating and utilizing similar methods to attain the transcendent
state of mind to reach the desired effects. For those uninitiated seeking a way
to meditate for renewal of the mind, body, and spirit, then ALIGNED: A Planetary Mantra & Gong
Shower would be a marvelous way to begin your journey.
This aspiring work of art combines ancient language, science, and technology. Those three elements, appropriately used, can combine into a powerful message. And it indeed does from beginning to end.
