Album: Chakra BlossOm
Chakra BlossOM is an album about the sound journey you will be accompanied to discover the 7 main chakras through music. Our body is formed at about 80% of water and it is proven by now, that conscious sounds re-harmonise the frequencies of our energy centres, called precisely “Chakras”. In our body, there are 7 main Chakras and in this CD the Imran Khan plays seven Raagas dedicated to each of them to bring us into a state of inner peace and awakening.
Entering into the understanding of the states of consciousness related to the chakras is like ploughing the ground to make the flower of compassion blossom, of loving-kindness towards ourselves and others, so that union with all beings and with all that surrounds us leads us back to our divine nature.
