Download Album: Infinite Ocean ($15.00 or $7 per track)
Buy CD: Infinite Ocean ($19.95)

The music on this CD contains three meditative journeys that will sooth and transport the listener to a relaxed state of being.

Each track is 23 minutes in length.

The first track features ocean sounds, enchanting Indian flute and a powerful mantra from the Upanishads. This mantra (Poornamadah) was revealed by the sages who understood that sound and vibration have the proven ability to bring tranquility and strength to the heart and mind.

The Second track is instrumental and features the beautiful bamboo flute.

The third track is nature’s perfection: the soothing sound of ocean waves.

The ocean waves, ancient chanting, soul-stirring flute and deep ethereal drones will transport you into a peaceful and relaxing state, where the mind is free and the spirit is calm.

This music is perfect for yoga, meditation, relaxation and as an aid to achieving deep and restful sleep.

The Meaning:

Poornamadah:

Om Poornamadah Poornamidung
Poornaat Poornam-Udachyate
Poornasya Poornamaadaaya
Poornamevaa-Vashishyate

That is Infinite:

That is infinite. This is infinite.
From that infinite arises this infinite.
And that infinite remains infinite.

- Isha Upanishad (and Brihadaranyaka Upanishad)
- Translation by Tulshi Sen, from Ancient Secrets of Success

“The wave on the ocean and the ocean itself are one.
The spark has all the power to become the same blaze as the fire that generates it
So the infinite source of all life has implanted itself in the heart of human consciousness
Just waiting to be awakened” – Prosad – inspired by the teachings of Tulshi Sen.

Surfing Video

Hello Friends and Fans,

When I was in New Zealand last year I met a great surfer named Luke Darby.  He lives right on Piha beach with awesome flatmates Matt and Dana.  You can see the waves right from their balcony and if they are breaking just right you can be in the surf in about 30 sec.  The day I arrived happened to be one of the best days of the summer!  Luke also happens to be an aspiring film maker and he got some great footage that day and created an amazing video using my song, “I Am Free”.  I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.  It was an epic day of surfing that I won’t soon forget.  Here is Luke’s website: http://www.zepher.co.nz
