Harmonic Meditations - David Hykes

David Hykes’ Harmonic Meditations app has the rare musical power to help heighten consciousness just through attentive listening. Hykes is the legendary composer and musician who introduced Western audiences to the “throat singing” of Tuva, Tibet, and Mongolia, collaborating with the Dalai Lama and the Gyuto monks. The universal sacred music he has developed, the Harmonic Chant, is centered on the possibility that “the heart can open to its true, deepest level, the mind can find its luminous original nature, and harmony is omnipresent.”

Here are ten compositions that can help open you to deep states of expanded consciousness, in resonance with the vibrational frequencies of the cosmos itself. Experience seven Harmonic Meditations recorded in a vast underground water cistern near Seattle, suggesting the unfathomable echoes of the universe itself.

“The Silent Ground” premiered with the Harmonic Choir in New York for NPR’s re-inauguration of the Winter Garden opposite Ground Zero. Two soaring tracks chosen by incarnate lama Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche for his feature film Travellers and Magicians conclude the app as a special bonus.

“David Hykes and the Harmonic Choir have mastered a spectacular and little known technique of overtone singing … hearing it is an experience everyone should have.”
—The New York Times

“His music is ecstatic to behold and yet also contemplative, woven of the divine light and pure energy that dreams, prayers, and all beings are made of.”
—Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening to the Sacred
