| Music as therapy
It has long been recognised that music and sound affect and have profound interaction with the emotional, feeling and mental states of the individual. In yoga, Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound), uses the vibration, harmonics of musical scale and sacred chant to break rigid constructs both mental and physical in order to connect to the divinity within. On both the mundane and exhalted level music, be it classical, music new age, relaxation or heart felt composition can inspire the same levels of connection. |

Over millennia sound and music have been used in healing. The power of sound, harmonics and music induce both positive and negative effects on human biology and its system. Healing, spiritual circles and shamanic practice have known and used this knowledge in abundance. Mantras, the sacred chants used by yogis to enhance and create suitable states of higher consciousness in meditation, have profound and beneficial effects in stimulating and revitalising the body's immune system and well being. Devotional singing and positive intention used alongside music and chant is known to deepen and speed the healing process. A greater awareness and sensitivity to self and others is often recorded when working with and using music in this way. It has been described as '..assisting the direct experience of oneness'. Acknowledging and appreciating the beauty in great music encourages the development of inner harmony and peace. Healing Sounds and Music In ancient times instruments, such as the flute, were found very conducive to relaxing and lessening the negative influences assailing body and mind. Krishna, the incarnate God worshipped in the Vaishnava tradition of Hinduism, is often depicted as playing the flute. The music of the flute symbolising the pull or attraction of the devotee's heart toward to the divine. Today research that the ancient yogis discovered of the effects and healing properties in sound and music, is helping open up ground breaking music in the body mind movement. |

Music New Age, like its classical counterpart skillfully creates, through an alignment and attunement that present day composers often experience whilst composin, the spiritual dimension of music as a transcendant influence. In the words of one composer, describing this alignment - "... letting go of the self, allowing a force, something other, move front of stage, take over and create for the listener a heart felt awareness and experience of their true nature." The Composer as alchemist Changing base metal into gold was an alchemical dream. Literally taken it drove many to seek riches on the physical level by trying to crack an enigma. True alchemists knew this to be a metaphor for moving beyond physical constraints and shifting consciousness to a higher level of awareness. "Do you know that our soul is composed of harmony?" Today, the best of music New Age be it inspirational or devotional, offers a pathway to this goal. The epithet, New Age music is often associated and poorly represented by slushy sentimental, electronically created sounds that have become New Age 'musak'. It is a pity, because within this collective term there are extraordinary and uplifting artists that have literally redefined the music scene in spiritual and relaxation music. They have no relation to the 'engineered' sounds that stack up as New Age music. Finding a description that veers away from the worse associations of music New Age would be better. So , in spite of the love of pundits to catagorise and pigeon hole all New Age artists under a single name, we have collected some of the greatest talents in this area and present them here, under the title of great music! Each artist, in her/his own right, excels and offers relaxation music, music for healing, inspiration and visualisation. Relieving the stresses of life, dissolving day to day problems, and bringing an atmosphere of deep peace and contentment is where these artists score. Constance Demby, whose music is seminal within the music New Age movement, has transformed our understanding of how music can be used for, and induce, visualisation and transcendent states. Both Stephen Page and Jamie Sims, in their own unique ways, represent a refreshing and frontier breaking approach to New Age music. Jon Mark, one of the original exponents of the New Age movement, having left his hard rock and pop history behind him, set bench marks in electronic music that many others after him imitate and plagiarise. His own label White Cloud Music features some of the best ambient, soft jazz and Celtic music around. "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence." |

| Experience and listen to other artists as well as music New Age here. One of the most beautiful collections of relaxation music is offered by David Bailey and his extraordinary piano music. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Because of his music's inspirational and moving quality, it is often placed under the music New Age banner. His use of classical grand piano however, sets him apart from the electronic orchestrations of New Age music. As relaxation and healing music, this collection is in a league of its own.
