Zen Heart - two hours of beautiful, mellow, spacious, heart-centred music created for deep relaxation, yoga and journeying. Original music created by Adrian Freedman in collaboration with international artists.
Listen to the gentle, lyrical sounds of the shakuhachi, Native American flute, kora, handpan, sounding bowl, yangqin, erhu, kaval and monochord.
Many of these pieces have already been released on previous albums, but they are brought here together in a unique music set designed specifically to accompany yoga practice and states of journeying and meditation. Soothing sounds send a signal to the brain to relax, and transport the listener to a beautiful place of quiet focus and inner landscapes.
