Sacred Union CD Description

Coming mostly from improvisation, these original compositions blend New Age, World Music, Native American Style Flute Music and Inter-Spiritual Chanting (non-denominational), as invitations to embark on heart-opening journeys, whether peaceful or passionate — with a reverence for the Sacred in life.

Transporting melodies feature especially the wooden Native American style flute, and are sometimes accompanied by mostly acoustic instruments such as violin, cello, piano, and voice, as well as soothing sounds from the Natural World. The quieter melodies are occasionally supported by a gentle heart beat rhythm on frame drum. These melodies have a soothing, relaxing, potentially healing effect that can support meditation, yoga, massage, and other therapeutic practices; while the more passionate and dynamic melodies inspire an uplifting mood. A couple of longer flute melodies are evocative soundscapes, stirring the imagination to soar into the infinite, like a bird’s flight across the wide open sky over a vast, serene sea.

In some tracks, the use of repetition of simultaneous musical parts induces a flow state. A couple of inter-spiritual chants further build on the power of repetition as a spiritual practice to tune the heart and mind to the Divine Presence and Sacred Oneness of All Life.

Much gratitude goes to all those who contributed to making this CD a positive reality (details provided inside the CD cover).

Dedicated to the benefit of the One and All.

“I love this CD and played it over and over when I got it. Joelle’s music comes from the heart and when I play it in the house, it fills the space with a peaceful energy. I’ve been using it as background music for my energy healing sessions, much to the delight of my clients. Although I play Native American flute, I don’t usually like to listen to NA flute music. But Sacred Union is an exception because it transcends the genre with a fresh and unique sound. I’m looking forward to playing this disc until it wears out!” Celine

“Best antidepressant!! Warning side effects: may get feelings of flying like an eagle or be transported into various landscapes and traveling through time. I found myself dancing in medieval times ~~” Vivi

“I love this soothing meditative music from Joelle. Her expertise in taking us to that quiet place is so very much needed in this busy chaotic world. I listen to this cd over and over. The lovely flute and gentle vocals take me to a very soothing place. Thank you Joelle!” Rev. Yolanda
