Hula is a graceful Hawaiian tradition that combines hip movements, footwork, and hand motions to speed up your metabolism and target tone your entire body. During this unique workout, you will master six basic hula steps: kaholo, hela, double hela, uwehe, lele ’uwehe, and ka’o. Kili combines these steps with traditional aerobic steps to create her innovative and enjoyable Cardio Hula. This feature will get you to burn calories, tone your body and dance the hula like an island girl.

I loved her since her first DVDs "Hula Workout" though those used cutsy 60s music & added 60s american dance moves but still have a lot of authetic hula dancing.
These "Island Girl" hula workouts are more authentic. Just like her other ones, you get a great workout, your abs burn, your hips, legs get a nice workout. It's all authentic dance moves with some added quick squats, etc. added in so you barely notice it for adding toning. The authentic drum Hawaiian music is beautiful & does keep you stimulted too keep going just like a dance/rock beat would.
I had no trouble following & learning the steps, there are plenty of dance DVDs that I have had trouble with, but she breaks everything down well & shows it slowly several times before speeding it up. She even cues YOUR left & right, not hers.

Hula is Kili’s favorite way for toning hard buns and tight abs. In the program, Kili combines traditional hula with fitness moves. You will master eight basic hula steps: kaholo, hela, double hela, kawelu, kao, ku’i, kalakaua and ‘ami. This dynamic combination delivers amazing results as you dance your way to a slim, toned body with Hula Abs & Buns.

The Moola Mantra (moola - root) is inspired by the vision of avatars Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma. Their vision of oneness is a Oneness which honours all spiritual paths, religions, creeds and traditions. I offer this music as a gift to these beautiful beings, who have showered their grace on me with such loving abundance. It is with their blessings that this recording came to be. I see unity-in-diversity as the only way for humanity to live in harmony, and the Moola Mantra is an expression of this understanding.
I dedicate this album to my beloved Guruji, Osho.
Om shanti,
~ Deva ~

Nach über einjähriger Produktionszeit, erscheint Deva Premals bahnbrechendes Album mit dem wundervollen Moola Mantra, welches die heilige männliche und weibliche Energie zelebriert. Deva und Miten entdeckten es während ihres inspirierenden Aufenthaltes in der Oneness Universität in Chennai, Indien.
Unter der Leitung von Ben Leinbach, bekannt von seinen fantastischen Produktionen mit Jai Uttal, entfaltet sich das Moola Mantra unter der Führung von Devas göttlichem Gesang in einer Klanglandschaft aus Sitar, Bansuriflöte, Dotar, Streichern, Piano, Tablas und ambienten Sphärensounds.
Spezielle musikalische Gäste sind Miten (Gesang), Jai Uttal (Dotar), Manose, der nepalesische Bansuri-Meister, der inzwischen ein integraler Bestandteil von Devas Live-Konzerten geworden ist, sowie Kit Walker (Piano) und Benjy Wertheimer (Esraj).
Dieses Album zeigt, wie schon fantastische Musiker über sich selbst hinauswachsen und zu neuen Höhen aufsteigen können.

Fließende ambiente Klangsphären, sanftes Glockenflirren und eine entfernt scheinende indische Zitter sind die Hauptelemente der 3 jeweils ca. 23 minütigen Stücke. Langsam versinkt der Hörer in Trance und öffnet sich dem entspannenden Energiefluss der Musik. Ideal für Reiki- und Heilbehandlungen aller Art — Hochkontemplativ.

A magical offering of instrumental music created to enhance and assist the listener in the healing process and to induce states of deep relaxation. Co-created by Jonathan Goldman and Laraaji Nadananda, internationally renowned musician and teacher of sound consciousness. Composed of 3 separate pieces, the instrumentation includes synthesizer, guitar, zither and bells. "Celestial Reiki" is a musical experience perfect for Reiki work, yoga, massage, or any kind of healing, mediation or guided visualization. This album was voted: "Best Sustained Trance Music" by Yoga Journal.

A collection of african, latin, indian drums, percussions plus a handy set of sound-effect samples in .wav format to go by in a jiffy. Extremely useful for any kind of eastern & western fusion or ethnic arrangements as against huge archives of ethnic samples.

The assorted SOUND EFFECT samples will prove worthy for various music productions.

METAMUSIC is more than music. It incorporates evocative sounds and specially blended Hemi-Sync frequencies to guide you into focused, whole-brain states of consciousness. Hemi-Sync helps you achieve and sustain synchronized brainwave activity in both hemispheres of your brain-an optimal condition for improving human performance. GAIA, a musical portrayal of Kokopelli, the Native American mythic hero who restores abundance by bringing forth the second summer rains. Deeply relaxing flute and guitar blend exquisitely with sounds of water in a soulful composition that stimulates imagination and creativity. Use "Gaia" for expanding awareness through musical imagery and self-exploration; for deeper, more profound meditation; or simply for musical enjoyment. Length: 30 minutes.

Shabd: From Sikh Scripture, the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. This is a collection of spiritual inspirations of the One Creator spoken by 7 Sikh Gurus, and 33 Hindu, Muslim and Sufi Saints, from the 11th to the 17th centuries. These writings were collected by Guru Arjun Dev, the 5th Sikh Guru.
This music takes us to our internal calm center where the storm of polarities - mind and body - ceases. By listening to and reciting the Shabd with complete concentration you can merge into a place of increased awareness and mastery of life.

The first Shabd or song is "Mangala Saaj Bhai-aa", which you can use for finding your soul mate and overcoming lonliness (Raag Bilawal).
The second Shabd "Narayan" you can use for prosperity and abundence (Raag Dhanasari).

Satkirin Kaur Khalsa is a well traveled vocal artist and teacher of the sacred music of Shabd Yoga. She has produced 10 CD’s of Mantra meditaion & Gurbani Kirtan.
Satkirin had the blessings to have studied directly with Yogi Bhajan for 34 years. She is a certified teacher trainer of Kundalini Yoga by KRI. Her speciality is Raga and the transformational power of sacred singing. Her mantra band is available to lead Mantra Jams; group meditation as well as private classes and indepth workshops on Raaga and Gurbani Kirtan.
“By the Grace of Guru Ram Das, I have surrendered myself to God, the One within all. My purpose is to be used as a Divine instrument of the transforming music of God. To me life is devotion and devotion is serving this Divine sound current of Shabd Guru.”

This music is in the Classical North Indian music systems of Raag set to the powerful meditative system of words called "Shabd". Shabd and Raag combined together give us a powerful system of notes, scales and words that give the listener an expanded experience of self. In this work, the masterful use of sound and rhythm combined with the words of "Shabd" give the listener the impact of the song as a meditation or prayer.

The first Shabd or song is Jo Maangeh, which you can use for fulfillment of every wish.
The second Shabd, Aap Sahaa-ee Ho-aa, is for overcoming addictions & destroying the enemy.
The third Shabd, Waheguru, Waheguru, Waheguru, Wahe Jee-O, you can use for enhancing self esteem.

Sacred Circle is classically-trained vocalist Amrit Kirtan's musical debut. An introspective album, Sacred Circle carries you on a gentle Meditteranean breeze with its warm vocals, rolling instrumentals and whispering flute.

The arrangements have a light Mediterranean influence, featuring guitar, gentle rhythms and keyboard ambience. Thomas Barquee is featured on the album as both the producer and keyboardist, accompanied by Girish on percussion and Domonic Breaux on flute.

Getragen von der Stimme der klassisch ausgebildeten Amrit Kirtan besticht dieses von Thomas Barquee produzierte Album durch seinen warmen mediterranen Touch.

Die Arrangements aus sanften Rhythmen, wispernden Flöten, akustischer Gitarre und Ambient-Keyboards erzeugen ein sehr intimes Hörerlebnis, und ein tiefes Verständnis für die Harmonie mit dem Selbst entsteht.

Ein Album, das die Aufmerksamkeit nach innen zieht, mit 7 sehr gebräuchlichen Kundalini Yoga Mantras für die eigene spirituelle Praxis.

Includes traditional Himalayan chants, prayers, hymns, lullabies, and inspired compositions. While remaining true to their Eastern origins, these mantras have been transformed by and for the voices, musical instruments, tastes and life rhythms of the West.

Thomas Barquee was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1963. At an early age, he studied classical keyboard and piano and became interested in pop music in his teens. Barquee formed his first band, Million Dollar Secret, in the early '90s and released one album, Under the Surface. Following the bands demise, Barquee released a solo album, Long Way to Go, which scored a European hit with "Girls Talk." While on a break from touring, Barquee released his second album in 1992, Dancing on My Own, followed in 1994 by Zulu Time. After moving to Los Angeles, Barquee took advantage of freelance opportunities, creating music for film, television, and advertising. Gradually becoming disillusioned with contemporary pop music, he developed a spiritual interest in ambient and trance music, which culminated in Temple, released on the Hearts of Space label in 2000. Barquee recorded Temple utilizing his unique vocal applications while playing all of the musical parts with the exception of percussion.

For some time now it's seemed as if the realm of wordless vocal exotica has been ruled by women - what with Lisa Gerrard, Vas, Ekova, and Adiemus singing wordless hieroglyphics. But now, Thomas Barquee follows fellow German-born singer Thomas Otten in asserting a male timbre in the proceedings. Barquee merges Gregorian ambiences, synthesizer framing, and what sounds like a glossolalia of Latin and Sufi phonemes. His attractive alto voice doesn't employ esoteric techniques. There's no harmonic singing, Mongolian throat growls, or Qawaali wails. Instead, he's like a choirboy in a state of ecstasy as he arcs across his chants, articulating an inner rumination. Favoring spare and resonant synthesizer orchestrations, distant hand percussion, and the occasional touchstone of piano and acoustic guitar, he gives his music an airbrushed sheen, creating a chromium cathedral. Though occasionally edging toward sweet sentimentality, Barquee always pulls back from the saccharin precipice.

Al Gromer Khan ist ein deutschstämmiger Sitarmeister und wurde mit elf bestverkauften Alben ausgezeichnet. Seine einmaligen Auftritte, die er selbst als Paisley Music bezeichnet “traditionelle indische Melodien verbunden mit elektronischem Ambiente eines Keyboards” haben ihm zu internationalem Ruhm verholfen.

Al Gromer Khan , has built many soundscapes from his cross-cultural virtuosity. For Sufi, he relies heavily on Indian acoustic instruments and contemporary electronics. The CD is based on the intense poetry of the Sufi and the purity of their spirituality. Khan was deeply influenced by the teachings of Ustad Vilayat Khan and his demonstration of how a small fragment of music begets new realities. He embraces Sufism that works from direct experiences and allows it to affect his music - deeply. This gentle soundscape is very subtle. The atmospheres are vacuous and large; Al Gromer Khan's sound design is flawless. The music builds and collapses upon itself continuously. Deep listeners will be fascinated by the depth of the journey. The unique soundscape will appeal to fans of David Parsons, Jalan Jalan, and Angelo Riccardi. It was a finalist in the New Age Voice 2001 music awards - deservedly so.

Das „göttliche Parfüm“ entfaltet seinen betörenden Duft nur in den geheimnisvollen Stunden der Nacht. Musik für die Dunkelheit, für die Begegnungen von Seele zu Seele. Für die Liebhaber des Außergewöhnlichen!

The God Perfume II is traditional ambient music mixed with elements of the far east. Khan uses traditional ambient elements, such as droned synthesizer chords and drowned beats, mixing them with things such as the sitar and heavenly female vocals. Khan's music is comparable to a lot of the ambient music that follows in the same vein, however in some unexplainable way, Khan's music seems more authentic.

Die Musik von Monsoon Point trägt die Schwingungsfrequenz von göttlicher Gnade. Al Gromer Khan und Amelia Cuni haben ein spirituelles Meisterwerk mit absoluter Tiefenwirkung geschaffen, welches voller Leidenschaft und unbändiger Kraft die fundamentale Schönheit des Menschseins zelebriert.

Sieben moderne Dervish Tänze.
Ein neuer Klangteppich, der den Zuhörer in eine andere Welt trägt. Al Gromer Khan, ein Pionier im Bereich der Sphären- und Weltmusik in der Tradition von Brian Eno.
