CHOPRA, DEEPAK / ADAM PLACK
Secret of Love, The: Meditations
for Attracting and Being
PBE3 1002 CD $11.48 / $18.98
Deepak Chopra feels that when you love yourself,
you’re able to love others more fully. The inner
peace derived from this allows you to open yourself
more fully to the world. On this CD, Chopra
offers an extended set of sutras (“great sayings”)
that will help you to embrace the essence of love
and help you realize that you’re infinitely loveable.
Chopra separates the sutras into nine
themes: love, attraction, infatuation, communion,
intimacy, sexuality, surrender, passion and ecstasy, offering thought-provoking nuggets of
time-honored wisdom on the different types and stages of love. The album also includes the
poetry of Rumi, an affirmation sequence and a deep meditation that will help you see the world
through the eyes of love. Adam Plack provides the soothing, string-based backdrop music.

Ananda Nidra: Blissful Sleep (2 CD)
PJK3 261 CD $10.96 / $19.96
”Ananda Nidra,” based on the fundamentals of
Yoga Nidra, is a powerful practice utilizing visualization,
tantric sexuality and meditation to wrap
the listener is a blanket of serenity. This 2-CD set
features a pair of guided sessions; the first is narrated
by Mark A. Michaels (Swami Umeshanand
Saraswati) and the second by Patricia Johnson
(Devi Veenanand), both accomplished authors
and Tantra teachers. The meditations presented
here have a very sensual nature. In Michaels’ meditation, he guides you to a place of dreamy
peace evoking imagery of vivid sights, sounds, tastes, etc. Relaxed by the sound of his supple
voice, listeners find themselves awash in pleasant imagery, as the aural atmosphere slowly
guides them deeper into a sleep state. Making these experiences all the more absorbing is the
lush, otherworldly, ambient music of Black Tape for a Blue Girl and Steve Roach.

Join Phillip Permutt on a beautiful journey into
the depths of the mind, where you will get the

this recording with a soothing relaxation session,
where the listener is encouraged to free their mind
and shed their cares. Next, Permutt uses guided
imagery to immerse you in a scene — you traveling
up a majestic mountain on a pilgrimage to meet
your first spirit guide. He follows this with several subsequent meditations, taking you through
a forest, a cave, a pyramid and a temple in the clouds. Llewellyn’s celestial melodies grace the
backdrop of each track, providing a truly uplifting companion to your meditation practice.
