AnImA

Anima's healing music is an offering of peace and harmony to the Earth, and with their latest album, Light of Aluna, they celebrate the cosmic principle of "The Great Mother" who gives life to all living things.Anima's enchanting, healing, spiritual, new age music blends electronic soundscapes with acoustic instrumentations (piano, guitar, flutes, Tibetan bowls) and beautiful vocals (sacred chants as well as wordless singing) that use both deep ambience and subtle uplifting melodies to create compositions that encourage and enable meditation, healing, inner journeying, transformational mind-shifts, personal peace and relaxation/stillness.Anima is a duo based in the United Kingdom with Ali composing, performing and producing the music and Daniela composing and performing vocals and guitar. Anima's music is available in CD and MP3 format and can be purchased on their website (AnimaSoundMedicine.co.uk). Prior to Light of Aluna, Anima released a half-dozen other popular CDs (Sound Medicine, Temple of the Stars, Temple of the Heart, Crystaligned Dreams and Lemuria Emerging). In addition, Ali has two solo albums, Star Ancestory and Celestial Baptism. Ali and Daniela have both spent considerable time living with indigenous elders and teachers, studying ancient ways of ceremony, spirit medicine, yoga and the use of sacred sound. More information about the healing work they offer can be found at alunahealing.co.uk. They met in 2005, and while traveling in Mexico the following year, they began performing music together. Later that year, they rejoined in Peru, and recorded their first album together while living in the Amazon jungle and the Andes Mountains. Since then, their recordings have chronicled an evolving journey of musical alchemy inspired by ancient wisdom and the awakened heart. "We chose the name Anima because in various languages and cultures it means soul, breath, air, life force and feminine spirit energy," Ali says."The precious time that we have spent immersed within the indigenous ways of life and their living connection to the world of spirit, has deeply enriched our lives, and reawakened our natural ability to connect and work with the healing energies of Nature," explains Ali. "It's this connection that is imbued within the music that we create, and infuses it with a kind of magnetic quality that affects and touches people, and brings about healing experiences that our music is known for.
