Reiki Hands Reiki Hands CD Hiebinger, Richard
CD 97733
REIKI-Hands was created with the intention of deepening the experience of Reiki sessions and initiations. All the instruments stem from the Himalayas or Japan therefore forming a deeper connection to the roots of Reiki. The planetary tones of the Tibetan and Japanese bowls induce deep relaxation on different levels which in turn facilitate a greater opening to the stream of cosmic life-energy. The melodies of the bamboo flutes and the Koto harp harmonize the heart energies and help us to re-experience the oneness with the universe. Reiki-Hands is grounded in practical experience collected in seminars and through the creative exchange of several Reiki masters and therapists.

Roses of Peace Roses of Peace CD Hiebinger, Richard
CD 97777
Roses of Peace is a musical journey around the world, inspired by t he fragrance of the rose and played on a variety of instruments. The rose flourishes in almost all parts of the world and has a special symbolic meaning in most cultures. With its exquisite flowering scent and its special radiance, it has come to represent the heart, love and the element which brings mankind together. Meditative, romantic melodies interchange with rhythmically accentuated passages. A warmth arises embodying a heart-uplifting world of sound in which inner peace and harmony reign, a warmth which carries the vibration and atmosphere of the melodies.
