In the Tibetan healing and medical tradition, a holistic approach is essential. You can only achieve optimum well-being when you are in balance with the four external elements of the body (air, fire, water, and earth), and you are in harmony with the inner elements of your emotions and states of mind. Thus, while treating the physical aspect of a person, the Tibetan medical tradition emphasizes the importance of individuals transforming the three inner poisons: ignorance to wisdom, greed to contentment, and hatred to love. My offering to you is this musical exploration of the essence of this ancient healing tradition through a contemporary approach. Special guest artists and world premier native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai joins me, bringing his spiritual approach and native American flute music and chants, and together we have created a unique recording of healing sounds from two very different parts of the world. - Nawang Khechog
