Sound healing pioneer, Dean Evenson, has created many well-loved albums that bridge eastern and western cultures. On Sacred World Chants, he brings together spiritual singers from around the world to create an album that is profound and inspiring. Excellent musicianship and diverse musical styles from many cultures enhance this musical collection, making it perfect for yoga, meditation and healing.

When so much conflict in the world today is based on spiritual divisions, this album is a prayer for peace, building musical bridges between cultures. Chanting is an ancient, universal mode of spiritual expression, often accompanied with drums, rattles and bells. The word ‘chant’ is derived from the Latin word ‘cantare’ meaning to sing. The nature of chant is often with prayerful purpose. The repetition of the words or phrases serves to internalize the intention of the song and allows the mind to focus. Some chants are called ‘mantras.’ In the ancient Sanskrit language, the word mantra means mind protection. It is by repeating a sacred phrase or mantra, that the mind is focused and idle or troublesome thoughts are kept away, thus clearing the mind for divine inspiration.
