A sound healing odyssey composed in the musical key of Ohm … Listen to the mesmerizing wave of Ohm, wind instruments and animals sounding… Featuring the Armenian duduk, Native American Flute, Didgeridoo, the rhythm of crickets and the whale's song... Ohm is our musical center of gravity; this beautiful earth tone is healing as it both calms and energizes. Listening to There's No Place Like Ohm is Musical Medicine; it is immediately relaxing, a beautiful Sound Odyssey that allows you to resonate and journey with the Om tone like never before. Many chant the Om mantra, however, this CD was created without human voice, in the Musical Key of Om, and focuses instead on the voices heard in nature through wind instruments and animals sounding.  Tantric Buddhist scripture tells us that Om is the most powerful vibration. The Om frequency is based on the elliptical orbit of the earth as it travels around the sun through 4 seasons. Therefore, Om can be thought of as our  'Musical Center of Gravity.' Listen for relaxation, stress reduction, while meditating, and practicing Yoga.
