Overtone Chanting Meditations - Jill Purce

• Sample Group Chant from Overtone-Chanting Meditations (0:34)

Chanting brings about a state of calm and clarity, a sense of peace, quiet and relaxation, a reduction of pain in the body, a sense of order in everyday life. Jill Purce reveals the rainbow colours of the voice by the ancient shamanic vocal practice of overtone chanting. She makes audible the natural harmonic spectrum of the voice so that the ethereal angelic bell-like tones of the voice are heard floating above a continuous bass note of the deep voices of the chanters. Listening to this meditative recording is an ideal practice for meditation and learning this ancient shamanic vocal technique. It is deeply relaxing, used by countless cranio-sacral therapists, massage therapists, and healers, who report dramatic healing effects it has on their patients.

Recommended by Dr. Deepak Chopra to his patients and students:

"Jill Purce's chanting will help you discover the magical and mysterious in you. Through these chants you will encounter your sacred self and your life will be changed forever"
— Deepak Chopra
