Reiki Healing Waves CD

An ideal album for anyone seeking a space filled with peace, serenity and healing! Reiki Healing Waves will take you on a meditative journey of sound that will soothe, calm and relax you.

Parijat’s musical background includes a mix of formal and explorative training. He spent a period of time learning the classical fundamentals of guitar and mandolin, then moved to India where he learned to “think-outside-the-box” and develop a more nuanced signature sound. With Parijat’s second release for New Earth Records, he takes a sonically different but tonally similar approach to his composing. The music is less Asian influenced than BUDDHA GARDEN, instead favoring soft, pleasant new age music comprised of guitar, keyboards and piano. REIKI HEALING WAVES is similar to his former album in the mood it creates—the music is light and soothing and ideal for healing work. As a bonus for practitioners, Parijat includes chime sounds and regular intervals to signal hard position changes.

--Music Design

New Earth Records has a knack for releasing great new age music but even by their high standards Reiki Healing Waves is a particularly excellent piece of work. Playing guitar, piano, keyboards, bells and percussion, Parijat paints one peaceful musical landscape after another (there are eight tracks, all but one between seven and eight-and-a-half minutes). Soothing synthesizers flow underneath a pastoral guitar refrain on the opening “Hearts Awakening,” while piano and guitar plaintively duet on “Healing Senses.” Lush keyboard washes fluidly flow under piano and guitar on “Forgiving” and the title track features soft but insistent Gamelan-like rhythms percolating gently over somber keyboards. “Return to Yourself” lightens the mood with cheery plucked string keyboards, sunny guitar and lilting flute. As is the case on many Reiki recordings, a struck bell tone signals the time period to change positions and these are adroitly incorporated into the music flawlessly. Your Reiki masters and practitioners should consider this a “must have” as should anyone who enjoys warm accessible new age music for relaxation and de-stressing.
