About the Music

Jewels of Silence

by Ashana

Jewels of Silence: meditations on the chakras for voice and crystal singing bowls is transcendent music of exquisite beauty, depth and sensitivity that quiets the mind and gently carries you into a state of deep rest and relaxation, to the very center of stillness within your being. Perfect for healing, meditation, prayer, yoga, bodywork.


Listen: Still Light on Water

Listen: Soulmerge

Listen: Canticle of Light

Listen: Sanctus

"Ashana and Thomas’ music first opens your heart and then gently guides you deep into the realm of spirit through the angelic combination of her celestial voice and resonating crystal bowls. The Jewels of Silence utilizes this exquisite combination to effortlessly guide you on a tranquil journey to the depths of your soul. The beauty of this CD is its simplicity – while the mind is gradually taken deeper and deeper into silence with each successive track, your consciousness is taken to higher realms within." -- Greg Schneider, HCF Creator

"This is true meditation music - from the heart calling hearts. Jewels of Silence has a beautiful alchemy of stopping me with an invitation to open my heart to Silence - to fall into Forever. I whole heartedly recommend - give yourself a gift that opens the heart." -- Tom Hatcher, MAABS

HVA NEWS FLASH!!

Stan Goldberg wins 2009 London Book Festival Grand Prize Award
[January 6, 2010] Congratulations to HCF Member, Dr. Stan Goldberg, author and hospice volunteer!! The London Book Festival chose an unlikely book for its 2009 Grand Prize Award, Stan Goldberg's memoir, LESSONS FOR THE LIVING: STORIES OF FORGIVENESS, GRATITUDE AND COURAGE AT THE END OF LIFE (Shambhala Publications-Trumpeter imprint). What made it unlikely is that it focuses on end-of-life issues while most other entries dealt with lighter more entertaining topics.

Why was it chosen? The judges said they were "overwhelmed" by the impact the book had on them. Their views mirrored those of one reviewer who wrote that the book "will change the way you live the rest of your life."

the suncoast programs run around $150. However, the main thing you need to start with is a small group of your already seasoned direct patient volunteers to assess if you have the interest you need to start. Remember, somethings an executive commite…
