Review: Conscious Living Magazine
"Delicate, light and delightful...this album is designed to take you gently and peacefully into the realms of tranquility, meditation and a deep sense of well being...Each track is very individual, but linked together in a seamless harmony allowing a free flow of thought, sacredness, sound and joy to enter the soul."

Review: Conscious Living Magazine
"Gentle, simple melodies strung together to form a divine and soul reaching album...Samjjana has delivered an album that is as far reaching and timeless as Magic. Refreshing and delightful, peaceful and relaxing, dip into the tranquility presented through sound and melody."

'Gently Now' is a deeply soothing, hypnotic album, ideal for meditation, massage, yoga, birthing, natural therapies, relaxation and rejuvenation whether listened to intently or played in the background.
It features hang and Native American Indian flute, sansula and peaceful sound effects (Tibetan bowl, wind chimes, gentle stream and bird calls that transport you instantly into a serene nature setting.)
It also features exquisite guitar work by Grammy Award winning Costa Rican musician Edin Solis, who invited us into his studio for some musical exchange and spontaneously created this divinely inspired piece of genius.
Most of the album is played to a heartbeat-style pulse beat of the hang's base, with plenty of space between the notes to honour the eternal silence from which all sound arises. Also threaded through the album is the vocal theme 'Om Shanti'.
"I love the CDs! They are so so beautiful, so powerful and filled with love that I was in tears when I heard them."
Prema (Costa Rica)
"We love your CDs and they are getting played constantly at the moment! We are really happy that you will be playing at our wedding, and now that we are getting close to the birth of our baby we have loaded both CDs onto our ipod in readiness for the day!"

'Elixir' offers our ever-popular signature pieces of hang and D drone Native American Indian flute together, featured as first and last tracks ('Alchemy' and 'Advaita'). The alternating hang and flute pieces in between range from meditative and gentle (hang pieces like 'Grace' and 'Sattva' and flute pieces like 'The Peace of Dawn' and 'Canyon Echo') through to more dynamic tracks (evocative and powerful flute pieces like 'Vision Quest' and 'The Calling').
Some tracks have sound effects (wind, rain, thunder, bird calls, wind chimes, caja drum) to enhance the mood, but for the most part we have kept the focus on simplicity, allowing space and stillness for these divine instruments to stand alone in all their beauty.
Audiences are drawn to, deeply appreciative of, and uplifted by our inspirational music in the simple, soulful way we perform it and for the inner awakening it evokes. We have honoured that in our recording and presentation of this album.
"
I have used the music in yoga class and also on
our last retreat and it is fabulous, so resonant and peaceful. It really is quite magical...if you want music to relax to or for 'healing arts' it is perfect
- a really slow tempo, hard to find!"
