I’ve been listening to the song Weya The World many times over and find that it creates the most beautiful heart expansion and flow of love. It feels like heart medicine.

I love your CDs!!!! I have one in my car and I listen to the music every day! It is the best healing music!
Stacey Leigh Mohr – The Wave, Holistic Journal –
Each piece seems as if it is a prayer that takes you on a journey through the sacred sounds of ancient peoples. I have listened to this album intently, absorbing the healing beats, chimes, chants, and lyrical flutes, feeling the healing energy. I have also listened to it in the background, while driving, and felt calmed and soothed by the end of my journey, even without listening directly to the music. “Weya the World” is an especially beautiful and moving piece that I could listen to over and over again. If you are looking for some unusual music that will move you on a very deep level, I highly recommend “Weya” by Rene’ Jenkins.
