Hello how are you? Cool profile you got here. I wanted to let you know that I have just finished the yoga, meditation & relaxation album titled “Surrender of The Mind”
Surrender of The Mind is written for those of us who need to get away. Maybe we have had a tough day at work. Maybe we have studied hard. Maybe we need to reflect on certain events in our lives. Maybe we just need a moment to clear our minds and re-set our mental strength. No matter what the reason is, there comes a time when we all need to surrender our minds.
This album takes you on a musical journey like no other. Capturing the ancient sounds of panpipes, tabla, bells, sitar and many other ambient resonances for those who wish to achieve a higher state of consciousness, greater focus and self-awareness through yoga & meditation, or simply to accomplish a more relaxed and peaceful state of mind.
Please come on my profile and listen to the album, I am sure it will take you away from the mad world we are living in at the moment.
Let me know what you think of it, I look forward to your reply.
The full version of Surrender of The Mind is available on all download sites including iTunes and Amazon.
Hello ......a new instrumental track has been loaded up...."Underwater Republic part 1"....if you have nothing better to do or are completely bored out of your skull...mabe you could give it a spin sometime.....all the best
Haha you're telling me about chops? Your drummer is chop master. Also we've been wanting to include sitar into one of our songs for a while now and we wanna take lessons but your guy lives in b-town.
