Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1 is the latest album to be released from independent music label Zen Music, composed and produced by music artist Peter Morley. It is transformative, transcendent and a powerful energy restorative soundscape experience.

It contains many of the Solfeggio frequencies – the ancient spiritual and healing frequencies – and features totally-immersive ambient atmospheres, sounds and calming music designed for deep relaxation and sleep, a blend of traditional western and eastern music, sounds and healing binaural beat frequencies.

Healing frequencies, often associated with sound therapy and Solfeggio tones, are believed to have a positive impact on physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. These frequencies, when applied through sound or vibration, are thought to interact with the body's natural energy field, promoting healing, balance, and transformation. 

In this stress-producing modern age a lot of people are turning to Bio-Frequencies to help them de-stress, manage anxiety and sleep better. This new album combines the best of the bio-healing frequencies with purpose-designed ambient calming, relaxing music. This blend is powerful, restorative and renewing.

Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1 is a specialist album designed to promote deep relaxation, and an aid for rest and sleep – using music and sounds created in specific vibrational frequencies that are considered by western science, as well as traditional eastern healing cultures to be therapeutic in nature, and therefore an aid to greater health and wellness. A large range of these so-called ‘ancient healing frequencies’ are associated with the positive health-improving benefits of emotional cleansing, detoxing and stress management.

Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1 is a collection of 15 interesting soundscapes that are individual original creations, yet as a collective, produce a concept album that can be listened to for its own worth – as creative expressive atmospheric ‘background music’ that is non-intrusive, non-disturbing – ideal for ambient listening while working or resting; it can also be used as an aid to focusing on de-stressing the body and mind, moving into a state of deep relaxation and even restful sleep. Instrumentation is a careful and creative mix of Electric Guitar, Electric 'Sitar' Guitar, Tibetan/Nepalese Singing Bowls, Windchimes, Rain Stick, Synthesiser, Church Bells and natural atmospheres (flowing water, sea, wind, rain, thunder), with resonant frequencies. For maximum fidelity, calming and healing effects, the composer recommends listening with headphones or earbuds to ensure exposure to specific healing frequencies and subtle atmospheres.

The composer and producer, Peter Morley has a degree in Film Music composition and production, as well as qualifications in Music as Therapy (Nepalese Singing Bowls), and is an internationally-qualified Therapeutic Yoga and Meditation Teacher. Using all his learned knowledge, wisdom and experience in these fields of natural healing, as well as his academic training in specialist music that can influence our emotions, and experience in producing 50 albums over 25 years, Peter Morley has crafted an album that he is very proud of and personally endorses as calming, healing and therapeutic.

"It is the biggest and most ambitious project I have produced, and I consider this latest album to perhaps be my most important work so far in creating music and sound-scapes which are specifically designed as therapy. I present to you Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1 as my most accomplished work to date".

Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1 offers the listener Healing Frequencies and Binaural Beats – an aid to deep rest and sleep – in GAMMA, DELTA, 528Hz and other calm-inducing frequencies, as well as music compositional intervals, tone-centres and ancient Solfeggio frequencies and scales that promote release from tension and stress and embody the therapeutic applications to produce deep relaxation and sleep through brain/body vibrational resonance entrainment [the synchronisation of two or more vibrating, or oscillating systems – Physical, Biological or even Psychological Entrainment, where neurons synchronise their firing patterns to an external rhythmic pattern or vibratorial (oscillating) source, and thus produce a resonance-relationship effect. Entrainment is a fundamental principle where different systems synchronise their rhythms through interaction].

Experiments with 528Hz and other known ‘healing frequencies’ have shown that exposure to music at these frequencies significantly decreases Cortisol levels (the stress hormone), and increases the Oxytocin – the hormone associated with positive feelings, leading to overall stress reduction, as well as an effective aid in improving sleep quality and relaxation – calming, grounding, and soothing to both body and mind.

In addition to composing and producing Sounds to Sleep – Vol 1, Peter Morley also created the original painting and album cover artwork.

“Singing Bowl Meditations – Vol 1”. Sri Shanthi Bhavana has created a series of Tibetan Singing Bowl tracks that can be used as preparation for meditation, or to accompany meditation practice.

The deeply resonant sounds of Tibetan Singing Bowls capture the vibratory frequencies that can assist in creating sympathetic ‘entraining’ with the brain, vital organs and the Chakra subtle anatomy. Simple, minimalist, authentic ritual bowl sounds for meditation practice.

Each individual track is designed as an aural exploration into Mind/Body connection, and an aid in developing and manifesting inner peace, tranquillity, spiritual connection and “oneness".

An energising and relaxing collection of rubbed and struck bowls in various tone centres corresponding with the major Chakra energy plexuses of the subtle anatomy, to help stimulate energy release and spiritual transformation.

“We are slowed-down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music” – Albert Einstein

"Everything in life is vibration. Health is the state of perfect oneness with the cosmic vibration. Illness is the result of dichotomy. When we are able to tune ourselves to the natural, universal vibrations, health occurs. We can think of health as a certain ‘state’ of cosmic vibration. When we are 'in tune' with that, and we are vibrating with it, we are truly happy and healthy”. – Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani

Use these Singing Bowl Meditations to gently prepare for deeper meditation practice.

A bowl hit occurs frequently (for many tracks this is every 30-seconds), as a mindfulness aid for the practitioner to help them to stay focused.

14 tracks make up the “Singing Bowl Meditations – Vol 1” collection – each track is 9-minutes in duration, and the total duration is 126-minutes.

“Celestial Meditations” – Peter Morley (Sri Shanthi Bhavana) created the original “CELESTIAL” album – his very first CD album – in 2003.

Since then it has been a highly popular album for many people, globally – and a highly successful one, selling consistently over that time. “Celestial" was never intended as a “meditation” album, more a relaxation ‘concept’ album – an aural experience, a ‘cosmic voyage’ – offering (hopefully) a contemplation on our existence in the greater Cosmos.

In 2020, 17-years later, in re-visiting this first album, Shanthi created a companion album, “Celestial Meditations” (his 23rd album) that, as a music soundscape – with its roots grounded in the original sound design for “Celestial” cosmic voyage – has its intention firmly focused on deeper, meditative contemplation, and spiritual connection.

“Celestial Meditations” – Deep resonant sounds of Tibetan Singing Bowls, Bells, Meditative Resonant Drones, Harmonium, Synth, Voice, Wind and Breath. As with a lot of Shanthi’s soundscapes that are intended for use as preparation for deep meditation, “Celestial Meditations” utilises resonant vibratory frequencies to create sympathetic ‘entraining’ with the brain, vital organs and the Chakra subtle anatomy.

“Celestial Meditations” is a companion to the original “Celestial” CD – complementary and, at the same time, a music and aural soundscape art piece that stands on its own. It is an aural exploration into the Mind, and an aid in manifesting tranquility and spiritual connection and “oneness".

5 tracks make up the “Celestial Meditations” collection – each track is 20-minutes, and the album is 100-mins in total duration.

Please Note: It is recommended that headphones or earbuds be used when listening to this album, in order to achieve the highest sound quality and enjoy the subtle tonal fidelity of the natural environment.

“May whatever merit flows from this creative work help to support the transition to Enlightenment for every sentient being”.

"Supatha Nibbana – A Path to Enlightenment" – Music for Mindful Contemplation. This album is inspired by one of the Buddha Sakyamuni’s most important discourse teachings, the "Noble Eightfold Path". The intention is to provide a sound contemplation tool (an audio connection) with each of the Eight Paths towards Enlightenment.

Suggested Uses: Yoga, Meditation, Spiritual Contemplation, Relaxation, Massage, Reiki

Eight tracks for mindful contemplation, or meditation on Mindfulness:

1. Samma Ditthi: Right View
2. Samma Sankappa: Right Intention
3. Samma Vaca: Right Speech
4. Samma Kammanta: Right Action
5. Samma Ajiva: Right Livelihood
6. Samma Vayama Right Effort
7. Samma Sati: Right Mindfulness
8. Samma Samadhi: Right Concentration

"Samma Vayama: Right Effort" Music for Mindful Contemplation. These three timed meditation sessions are especially designed for walking, sitting and meditation preparation. This album features the chanting of the Buddhist "Ti-sarana" mantra of Taking Refuge in the Triple Gem of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha – along with soothing music of Harmonium and Tibetan Singing Bowls. A Sati (mindfulness) bell begins and finishes each session.

The mantra for Taking Refuge in the Triple Gem, "Ti-sarana", forms the basis of "Samma Vayama: Right Effort", and features the chanting of Shantha Sri.

The text of the chant is as follows: "Buddham saranam gacchami, Dhammam saranam gacchami, Sangham saranam gacchami". This is the ancient Pali language for the phrase for taking refuge: "I take refuge in the Buddha, I take refuge in the Dharma, I take refuge in the Sangha”.

The single voice chant is joined by the many voices of the Sangha, giving a feeling of refuge and security to the listener. The listener may chant along with the Sangha if they choose, or simply meditate quietly as they are embraced by the reassuring voices.

The soothing vibrations created by the Tibetan singing bowls help to purify negative influences, increase positive energy and restore harmony and balance. The pure sound resonating from the singing bowls is very powerful in centring the mind and body.

"Samma Vayama" is ideal as a meditation timer – each track contains a Sati (Mindfulness) bell at the beginning and the end. Especially designed for deep devotional immersion meditation, (walking as well as sitting practice) and meditation preparation, it is also useful for yoga, or just as calming background music in restful environments, such as spas, or at home. This track is designed in three version-lengths for individual meditation requirements: 10-minutes, 20-minutes and 30-minutes… or you can play the whole 60-minutes of calming music rhythms.

A Sati (Mindfulness) bell begins and finishes each section.
