Island Journey

 
 
This guided Meditation was inspired by a profound and healing visualization experienced while in meditation. The music on this CD will take you on a journey down through your body and mind to your deep subconscious and then using your imagination you will journey to an island where you will experience the peace and healing power offered by this meditation. All music is composed and arranged by Robert Hamaker with the exception of Prelude and Adagio which were composed by Edith Hamaker and arranged by Robert Hamaker. Hamaker says he used his interest and knowledge of the chakra energy systems as a guide to composing all the music for this CD. All the instruments used are from the percussion family whose hypnotic sounds lend themselves wonderfully to putting you in a meditative state and stimulating your imagination and energy centers. A diverse array of instruments were used including: Vibes, Marimba, Chimes, Glockenspiel, Crotales, Timpani , Gongs & Cymbals, Singing Bowls, Windchimes, and various drums, to list just a few. They are used to stimulate, intensify, and bring awareness to the energy centers in your body called Chakras. This is a very powerful healing modality, but knowledge of them is not necessary to enjoy and receive benefits from meditating with this CD. The narration, which leads and guides you along this journey, is designed to do this for you by helping you open your energy centers, choose an area to heal, and watch as the old energies are washed away and transformed. The words are written and performed by Deborah Fruchey,  a Bay Area poet and writer and author. The  entire project was conceived, designed, recorded, produced and mastered by Robert Hamaker. Recorded under the Label of:
