Weaving together soaring, angelic vocals and the celestial sound of crystal singing bowls, Ashana is one of the premiere healing music artists of our time. In fact, Ashana’s original sound pioneered an entirely new genre of healing music with crystal singing bowls. This exquisitely crafted, luminous sonic tapestry soothes and opens the heart, enfolding the listener in a transcendent experience of the Divine and a direct experience of the Soul. This stunningly beautiful alchemy has been hailed by listeners all over the world as “breathtaking” and “a Gift from Heaven.” Evolving from deep self-exploration, her style is truly eclectic. From her haunting rendition of the Lord’s Prayer in the original Aramaic, to a Sufi chant, Latin verse, Gaelic song and Sanskrit mantra and improvised ambient sound, Ashana blends Western and ethnic instruments with the unique drone of the crystal singing bowls to create the ultimate transcendent music for healing, relaxation and meditation. With producer, Thomas Barquee (Snatam Kaur, Seal), Ashana has received wide-spread, international acclaim for her CD recordings All Is Forgiven, Jewels of Silence, Beloved, The Infinite Heart and The Illuminated Path. Her CD, River of Light was selected for the first round of Grammy Nominated albums in the 2014 World Music category. At work in the studio for the last few years, Ashana and Thomas are preparing to release several groundbreaking projects in the near future. Celestial Sleep, Ashana’s latest release, is divinely inspired music that restores the nervous system to optimal states of relaxation through vibrational healing, gentle affirmations and the cutting edge of crystalline sound. An international artist and student of yoga and mantra for most of her life, Ashana has led two worldwide online group yoga meditation experiences, touching the lives of over 20,000 people in more than 50 countries across the globe. Ashana’s live performances have been called “powerful” and “deeply transformative” and she travels internationally, offering concerts, crystalline healing meditations, retreats and sound healing workshops, all with the alchemy crystal singing bowls. Ashana’s intuitive and unique vocal improvisations and crystal bowl playing have been heard in numerous international documentary films and prominent workshop leaders and spiritual visionaries feature her music widely in their programs and spoken word recordings. Ashana is passionate about nurturing the creative process to bring through just the right words, sound, melody, feeling and expression. Her musical calling came at an early age as a young girl growing up in the Bronx, in New York City. She began singing in churches and as time went on, synagogues, temples, sweat lodges and gurdwaras. Classically trained, she spent many years exploring a wide variety of musical genres including jazz, pop, gospel, musical theater and children’s music. From ancient to contemporary she immersed herself, graduating with a degree in vocal studies from the prestigious Mannes College of Music in New York City. She discovered yoga, chanting and mantra in the early 80’s and is a devoted student of Sanskrit mantra and meditation practices. For over twenty years, she has been on a deeply personal journey, studying and exploring sound healing and the voice. During this period she began working with quartz crystal singing bowls, instruments that are often used in contemplative practices to support healing, balance and well-being. Bringing these extraordinary sounds into her music and the lives of others is, Ashana reflects, “my destiny.” Performer, recording artist, sound healer and teacher, Ashana tours the world with her concerts, workshops, retreats and crystalline activation ceremonies. She makes her home near Sedona, AZ with her husband, Native Hawaiian Healer, James Kawainui, and her magnificent family of crystal singing bowls (which have their own room in the house).
