This project was truly a labor of love. I spent 6 mon
ths, several hours per day honing the rhythms, dyn
amics and sounds to create this companion to min
d-body training. The 2 years preceding the product

he balcony in Santiago de Cuba. I had been there f

sounds and its pulse in my mind. Just then I thoug

his rhythm, I had attained a state of meditation that
had alluded me when I meditated silently in sitting
position. Because of the all-consuming impact the
vibrations had on me and the synchronization of m
y breathing with the rhythm, there was no space fo
r anything else in my mind. After making this viscer
al connection between my two practices, I started t
o sing a mantra over the rhythm and the idea for Y

aka on vocals and Jin Oki on Spanish guitar. Each
of them really entered into the mood of the record
ng and gave outstanding performances
Since releasing it, many have told me it is both effe
ctive as backaround music for Yoga and massage
as well as music for deep relaxation With headphon
