Featured musicians:
Paradiso and Rasamayi are internationally renowned musicians and sound healers with five critically acclaimed, international radio chart-topping CDs, which have received recognition for being among the best Meditation and Relaxation (ZMR), World (COVR) and New Age (Independent Music Awards) albums. These twin flames have collaborated in projects and events with luminaries including Deepak Chopra, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Dr. Masaru Emoto, Neale Donald Walsch, Gregg Braden, Jean Houston, Lynne McTaggart, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Steven Halpern and Jonathan Goldman.
While their mystical, celestial music earns them frequent praise as consummate musicians by the most prestigious critics, award foundations and DJs of both the world of mainstream music and the New Age community, Carnegie Hall didjeridoo artist Paradiso and singing bowl master alchemist Rasamayi are fully self-trained. Beyond their function as musicians, they are ambassadors of the Sacred Sound Current and channels of their audiences’ unique frequency prescriptions to optimize soul evolution and healing.
The twin flames’ collaborative debut CD 3rd Eye Rising won the Independent Music Award for Best New Age Album of the Year, was featured in Dr. Masaru Emoto’s MyHado application, won the Independent Music Award for the Best New Age Album of the Year, was voted in the top 3 of 2011’s World Music CDs by the Coalition of Visionary Resources, the top 5 of the year’s meditation and relaxation CDs by the Zone Music Reporter, and was in the top 5 of 2011’s international airplay of world, ambient and New Age music.
Their live events are uniquely powerful and beautiful spiritual soundscapes: attendees frequently report experiences of unprecedented and profound meditation; visions of their guides, life purpose and past lives; and profound healing of acute and chronic emotional, physical and spiritual dis-ease.
Their new CD, “Attuning to Oneness: The Harmonic Ascension” features a song originally recorded by request of Humanity’s Team (founded by Neale Donald Walsch). Rasamayi is a chanteuse and Singing Bowl Master Alchemist, and a full-body channel for the many manifestations of Divine Mother.
Paradiso is a master didjeridoo artist and founder of the “5th Element Music” label, with 5 bestselling, award-winning, and international New Age Radio chart-topping healing CDs: “Healing Vibes,” “Shaman’s Trance,” “Middle Path,” “Himalayan Chakra Healing” and “3rd Eye Rising.” www.OnlineSoundHealing.com For a short video about their work please visit: www.onlinesoundhealing.com/events/

Meditation: “I express my truth with open and clear communication”. Not only chanting and singing balance this chakra but also spending time in silence tuning into subtle sound vibrations while opening up to avenues of higher consciousness. Playing a game of charades is a fun way to be in silence, too.
