If you like music to relax to or read a good book to, then this album might be appropriate. However,for music that would be useful for meditation or trance work, this or any album by Deva Premal I would not recommend. Her songs are repetitive and uninspiring. And given the album covers and pretense of mantra chanting, this is not ethnic to say the least. I'd recommend Russill Paul's yoga cd's instead.

I first became aware of Deva Premal's "Embrace" in my Yoga class and finally went out and recently got a copy of this CD.

This music combines Mantras with eclectic music which draws from many styles. Deva Premal has one of the most incredibly beautiful and sincere voices I've ever heard and I find that this music truly reaches inside my heart and elevates my spirits.

It's wonderful music not only to practice yoga with but to hear at any time.

I can't recommend this CD highly enough, it is a truly wonderful gift of music and I am looking forward to getting more of her CDs.

Namaste

Terrific music - Deva's voice is so fluid and enjoyable. I sing along all the time - especially love the last song that just touches me at the core. I wish I had a translation for the indian words. Overall, I can listen to this cd over and over.

Deva primal is a unique mixture of her own interpretation or manufacture of mantras and using the Book "Healing Mantras" ISBN: 1564557359 for inspiration. An added plus is the repetitiveness of her songs instead of changing the mode every five minutes or so. Thos album is not necessarily a classic but a hybrid of classic and contemporary to close the gap between the two worlds. There are better representations in both worlds but that does not distract form this great contribution.
Naturally each listener will select there own favorites, depending on circumstances and mood. Most of the time mine is "shree ram jai ram jai jai ram om."
Reading the insert will add to the appreciation of these songs. It tells of her background and the purpose of each song or chant.

This is some of the most amazing music I have ever heard.

Ever get a song stuck in your mind and Love it there? That's what Embrace is like. I just can't get enough. I left it at work over the weekend and actually missed it! I listen to it at work with headphones, and it gets pretty hard to remember NOT to sing along! Its beautiful, sweet, relaxing and upbeat.

You can find eight minutes and fifty-two seconds at the start of your busy day to chant with Deva Premal a most powerful Medicine Buddha healing chant "Teyata" contained on this disc; you owe it to yourself! Fill the "empty" moments of the day and stop mind-chatter with something useful and transformational. Highly recommended!

Deva Premal's, "The Essence", was there for me when my life dramatically changed. Now, with this new release, I find myself drawn to this music. Her unique voice is soothing, the music sometimes hypnotic. It's easy to become lost or part of the mantra. For quiet time, I light a candle, some incense, and sing along. It is wonderful!
