I came across some highly spiritual/meditative music a couple of months ago, and wanted to share it with everybody. Something this wonderful just can't be kept to myself! :) I enjoy the CD so much that I went onto Amazon.com and wrote a review for it.
Instead of once again writing a description of the CD and music, I'll just copy my Amazon review into this blog post…
Zen hip-hop, blessed beats, rapturous rhymes, beatific beats, esoteric lyricism, silent music, yogic rap, spiritual spittin'... None of these labels really do Mt. Sinai's music justice, and the CD title of "Beyond Words" is truly fitting (in more ways than one).
If you never thought rap or hip-hop could be meditative, or highly spiritual, you're in for a huge surprise. For most people on the spiritual path, new-age & spiritual music tends to be used as background music for meditation, but while listening to Beyond Words you'll quickly realize that the music IS the meditation. Because the lyrics come out in rap form, they're fast, and your mind/consciousness will be 100% focused on them. Of course, this would be meaningless, and even deleterious, if the lyrics were of a negative nature, but Mt. Sinai has spent 15 years studying and practicing various spiritual teachings, ranging from Buddhism/Zen, to nonduality, to Hinduism, to Christianity, to Freemasonry, to Greek philosophy, to "the law of attraction", and the music is a reflection of that.
The moment the music is turned on, your mind will be drawn in and effortlessly focused (like Buddhism teaches) on the level of consciousness/energy from which the music springs (which is Nothingness, yet Allness). This is music for silencing the mind, and leaving oneself behind.
If you're into spirituality, and you've never liked rap before, you'll almost certainly enjoy this album anyway, because it's the essence from which the form arises, not the form itself, that truly matters.
From a spiritual point of view, this CD can't be recommended highly enough. As I write this though, a hardcopy of the actual CD isn't available through Amazon.com, you can only download the MP3's (and only if you live in the U.S.). If you live outside the U.S. like I do, you can find Mt. Sinai on MySpace and purchase the CD that way.

And while we're on the topic of music, just a few days ago I added an Amazon aStore to my website, recommending a huge list of my favorite powerfully uplifting spiritual music. From classical, to Hindu, to Buddhist, to Sufi, to Christian, to chant, to opera, to classic rock, to reggae, to folk, to gospel, to new age, to bamboo flute, to jazz, to fusion, to adult contemporary. There's a wide range of genres in my personal music collection, and whatever your tastes might be, you're bound to find something new to bring even more joy and peace into your life.
