Contemplative Practices- great tools for great living!

“Deep Calm” CD by Christina Hildebrandt
In 2017 I brought my singing bowls to The TANK in Rangely, Colorado. This is a 65-foot tall empty water tank that has become a recording mecca for sound artists. The sounds of the crystal singing bowls are magnified, bathing the listener in an ocean of vibration! My intention in making this album is to use the power of sound vibration to help you create the shifts you need in your life.
