Tranquil Harp Paul Baker

Peaceful relaxation and meditation music performed on the Celtic harp by master harpist, Paul Baker. This one of a kind CD contains eight improvisations designed to soothe your spirit, ground your body and open and tune your mind. Each improvisation correlates with a different chakra of the body and a chart with practical exercises is included. Recorded in a temple in the Santa Monica mountains, the pure acoustic sound of 'The Tranquil Harp' offers the best of body/mind/spirit integration technology with a musical format that uplifts and inspires. The sound of the harp has not been enhanced with added reverb or effects so you hear the wonderful true harp sound interacting with the building's acoustics.
