Inspirational music and songs
All of the following are my soul’s favourite musical nourishment:-
Quanta Qualia – ‘quanta’ means ‘many‘ and this description for the word Qualia is taken from the book The HeartMath Solution – ” The intelligence of the heart acts as an impetus for what some scientists call qualia – our experience of the feelings and qualities of love, compassion, non judgement, tolerance, patience and forgiveness” So much beauty in one word. I have two favourite versions:- Patrick Hawes from his album Blue in Blue https://youtu.be/xYgodwBHsH8 : and Hayley Westenra – from her album Odyssey. I play this album over and over every time I drive my car. (a link for this was not available)
Higher Ground – Barbra Streisand. Incredible voice, wonderful album, my favourites are ;- Circle, Lessons to be Learned, Avinu Malkeinu, On Holy Ground. https://youtu.be/F3S7PqzylKM
Hildegard de Bingen – Spiritus Sanctus. Beautiful choral sacred voices. I fell in love with the sound of nuns voices during the time I spent with the Dominican Sisters of St Joseph in the New Forest where they sing at each of their four daily services. https://youtu.be/LJEfyZSvg5c
Illumination – Another find of soothing Gregorian chants https://youtu.be/TWdSi0Xw4u0
Deva Premal – Gayatri Mantra. These are sacred words that resonate with your soul and are sung so beautifully. Once discovered they will lead you to many others sacred songs– if they don’t resonate with you – don’t worry – I am sure there will be some that do. (sorry this link no longer available – however there are many similar) *** https://youtu.be/BSmToj9VZ4s
Om Mani Padme Hum – peace mantra. This piece of music was playing everywhere in Bangkok when we visited in 2010 and I loved it. I was so delighted when I discovered it on YouTube. It makes me feel a sense of joy and well-being. (sorry this link is no longer available – however when you find the one below this will be very close to it)*** https://youtu.be/bbgHZWwyhcQ
When you find Om Mani Padme Hum there will be nearby the Mantra of Avalokiteshvara – very similar and equally as uplifting. https://youtu.be/6Pev6QXhmlk
Shaina Noll – Song for the Inner Child; How Could Anyone ; You can Relax now; Deep Peace; Return Again; Where I sit Is Holy; It’s a Joy; – feel the magic https://youtu.be/u0cBhdvXfJA
Sudha – her vocals are ethereal. She often performs with Shastro accompanying on flute. https://youtu.be/uyc62j0QGRc
Deep Aum – Mantra Healing Vibration – Theta Binaural Beat. (Note the most beautiful Aum symbol in the accompanying picture) from Power Thoughts Meditation Club. https://youtu.be/BV5Mceh2xVA

Madame Butterfly was my first introduction to the classics, I hadn’t realised how much I could enjoy them. https://youtu.be/mN9Dipgqdtw ***(sorry – these two links have also disappeared but there are many other beautiful versions) another favourite is O Mio Babbino Caro, also by Puccini, this was sung at my Dad’s funeral *** https://youtu.be/s6bSrGbak1ghese
John Denver was one of my favourite singers, he was a Peter Pan, a country boy with a clean image and a happy voice which still makes me feel happy when I listen to him https://youtu.be/1vrEljMfXYo
