Tao of Healing is a lofty bridging of cultures through musical dialogue - the flute, the guqin, and the guitar. It is a simple calling of worlds across the digital airwaves. When Dean Evenson of Soundings of the Planet and Professor Li Xiangting of Beijing, China, first met, they recognized each other as kindred musical spirits from opposite sides of the globe, yet communicating perfectly through the universal language music. The silver tones of Evenson's flute mirror the haunting and exotic sounds of Professor Li's ancient seven stringed zither. For the first time since he began recording albuims in 1979, Evenson has not included natural sounds with the musical mixes, letting the music itself communicate the peacefulness of nature.
Tao of Healing is the third in the Sound Healing Series that Evenson has put together. Featured prominently in all of the series in Scott Huckabay whose sensitive guitar fingerings dance across his six strings with a harmonic touch, enhancing the subtle rhythms of the other instruments.
This music is ideal for use in conjunction with the many and varied Chinese and Eastern Healing Arts such as Tai Chi, Feng Shui, Acupuncture, Qi Gong, Reiki, Yoga, Meditation, and Massage.

Rev. Robert Walmsley
(Tao of Healing) - The third release in Dean Evenson's Sound Healing Series offers the peaceful and meditiative silver tones of Evenson's flute mirroring the exotic and magical sounds of Professor Li's guquin (an ancient seven-stringed zither). In addition, Scott Huckabay's intimate guitar stylings are present to further enhance and add depth to this extremely relaxing and healing music. Immediately upon hearing this release, I placed it in my personal line up of relaxation/healing music to caress my soul in sleep on a nightly basis, and give Tao of Healing top marks across the board for massage, meditation, relaxation, and healing applications.
