The Dr. Karen Show

My special guest this week is 33 BOWLS. Hans plays the Tibetan Singing Bowls, 33 of them. Hans' compositions, deeply intuitive and spiritual as they are, are subtly structured like a musical Pythagorean braid, imbued with as much Reason as feeling. What I perceive is not another talented New Age dilettante creating trance music to zone out the listener, but a brilliant composer and technician whose mastery of the intellectual, physical, and spiritual aspects of music has created works that will delight those seeking "vibrational medicine" as well as those who appreciate "classical" music. The production itself is technically flawless: tonal resonance and a quiet, almost fugal complexity underlie the soothing oceanic flow of sound. And this comes forth with crystal clarity. Others have produced excellent recordings with the bowls, but Hans plays these with a deep respect for their sound and their antiquity, evoking (and invoking) past masters of these sacred instruments. With these recordings, he becomes a living part of that lineage.(This review is from Amazon, written by David Bell.) Wellness is the new fitness, and wellness extends well beyond the physical boundaries of the body. To bring about changes in our state of personal health and well being, it is important to look at ourselves as a whole person - in body, mind, and spirit. Too often we compartmentalize and look at only one component rather than the relationship of the different components to the whole. Balance, Clarity, Focus, Feeling Good, High Energy Levels, Peace, Abundance are all words that describe the elements of wellness. Join us as we talk everything wellness. We will open our show lines to listeners and take your questions and comments too!
