Artist Ashana Bio: Divinely-inspired, the music of Ashana transports listeners to transcendent states of deep peace and inner healing on the gentlest waves of devotion and compassion. The pure voice of ASHANA and the celestial sound of the crystal singing bowls blend together in a sublime alchemy that has the power to deliver the listener, literally, to the angelic realms. Here in this state, all that is unnecessary and untrue falls away revealing the pristine essence of Divinity that lies within.
Breaking new ground, Ashana blends her signature sound with Sanskrit and Sikh mantra, Tibetan and Native American chant, a song of devotion to the Virgin Guadalupe in Spanish, a hypnotic version of The Prayer of St. Francis, and an angelic choir of voices singing music inspired by 11th century mystic, Hildegaard von Bingen. This is the music of the new paradigm, birthed through sound and vibration from that all-embracing, tender pure source from which all religions spring.
With certainty, all who come to hear “THE INFINITE HEART” will be lifted to a place of pure peace, comfort, and unconditional love, where true healing awaits
CD- The Infinite Heart: Breaking new ground, Ashana blends her signature sound with Sanskrit and Sikh mantra, Tibetan and Native American chant, a song of devotion to the Virgin Guadalupe in Spanish, a hypnotic version of The Prayer of St. Francis, and an angelic choir of voices singing music inspired by 11th century mystic, Hildegaard von Bingen. This is the music of the new paradigm, birthed through sound and vibration from that all-embracing, tender pure source from which all religions spring. “The Infinite Heart” is the fourth collaboration between Ashana and world-renowned producer, Thomas Barquee (Snatam Kaur, Seal), whose masterful and sensitve arrangements weave Ashana’s pristine vocals and crystal singing bowls into an extraordinary sensory experience of musical prayer. With certainty, all who come to hear “THE INFINITE HEART” will be lifted to a place of pure peace, comfort, and unconditional love, where true healing awaits.
CD-Beloved: The eagerly anticipated follow-up to Ashana’s highly acclaimed debut CD, “All Is Forgiven,” “Beloved” is a love song to the heart. Tender, joyful, gentle, and breathtakingly beautiful, the music of “Beloved” is a healing balm for the soul that will lift your spirit and carry you on waves of love into the arms of the Divine. Featuring Ashana’s stunning angelic vocals and the luminous sound of crystal singing bowls, the songs on “Beloved” reflect a deep sense of compassion, vulnerability and lyrical sensitivity. Heard on this album is one of the most hauntingly beautiful interpretations of the Lord’s Prayer, sung in the original Aramaic, ever to be recorded and an exquisite rendition of the Gaelic prayer, “Deep Peace”. Co-written, produced and arranged by Thomas Barquee, “Beloved” blends sacred song, chant, mantra and crystal singing bowls into a musical prayer for the heart, inviting you to step into grace and be bathed in pure love.
CD- Jewels of Silence: This extraordinary CD, when played during bodywork, prayer, meditation or before sleeping, quiets the mind and gently carries you into a state of deep rest and relaxation … to the very center of stillness within your being. Divinely inspired, transcendent music for healing, meditation, and deep relaxation, “Jewels of Silence” is an incomparably beautiful recording of great depth and exquisite sensitivity. Perfect music for the journey within … for prayer, yoga, reiki, bodywork and rest, “Jewels of Silence” features Ashana’s angelic vocal improvisations, crystal bowl playing and the vocal and keyboard artistry of Thomas Barquee, accompanied by bansoori flute, esraj and santoor. With each successive track, the listener floats into deeper and deeper states of profound relaxation. The exquisite music, accompanied by the constant droning of the crystal bowls, shifts brainwave patterns almost immediately into alpha, theta or delta states, quieting the mind and supporting meditation, rest and dreaming.
CD-All Is Forgiven: On All Is Forgiven, the resonant, pure-tone frequencies of pure quartz and alchemical crystal singing bowls are uniquely combined with vocal sound, toning, and the singing of mantra, chant and song. This exquisite alchemy creates luminous healing music that is profoundly peaceful and soothing, and can gently lead you back to your center so that you may reconnect with your Divine higher self. It was never my intention to create a CD of music about forgiveness. The songs that emerged came as a surprise to me, a gift which continues to lead me down a path of miracles, healing and transformation. All Is Forgiven is a reflection of my process of surrendering, remembering, forgiving and awakening to the Source of Love within. I pray that this music will serve you well on your own journey.
