Tibetan Buddhist mantras have never sounded as gently serene, nor been as instantly accessible to the Western ear as in this new concept which unites ageless oriental traditions with original music from the occident.
Long renowned for their healing and spiritual properties, the sacred Sanskrit seed syllables here acquire a clear aesthetic dimension, gracefully balancing both the masculine and feminine energies. Bradfield's melodic adaptations are fresh and inspired, at once strong and delicate, steering the listener away from the repetition inherent in the Mantra form and focusing instead on the beauty of the syllables themselves, empowering each sentient being who awakens in their vibrations.
The first of a series, Buddha Spirit pays tribute to the Five Dhyani Buddhas, resplendent icons for both the five human poisons and each one's transformation into a form wisdom. In a spacious, meditative backdrop of Tibetan bells, flute and piano, Anael's performances resonate with stunning purity, conquering time and space while enabling the transcending of physical surroundings to attain a clear, focused state.
Whether comforted by Amitabha's infinite light, healed by the Medicine Buddha or guided by Shakyamuni's historic journey, the invitation to elevate our potential is open to all. A truly magnificent experience for sentient beings everywhere who seek and follow a path to enlightenment.
