• Heart Chakra Meditations (Audiobook, 2005)
  The transcendental, humming pulse of consciousness can be heard in the center of the fourth chakra: the human body’s heart center. As this chakra is balanced and energized, faith, devotion, and harmony in our relationships unfold. Here, world renowned drummer and author Layne Redmond offers Chakra Meditations: Opening the Heart—two CDs specially recorded to purify the heart chakra, and fine-tune our receptivity for love at the core of our entire being. On CD One, Layne offers listeners a complete series of pranayama exercises, guided meditations, and a unique shavasana (relaxation) practice to balance and tone the heart chakra. On CD Two, she presents a masterful chanting practice that blends Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist traditions, and is the perfect accompaniment to meditation, massage, yoga, or trance work. Also included is a 20-minute recording of the human heartbeat— a powerful healing sound that opens our hearts, and connects us to all of! life.

• Chakra Meditation: Transformation through the Seven Energy Centers of the Body (2004)
  Layne Redmond gives readers an interactive journey through the seven vital energy centers (chakras) with Chakra Meditation. Accompanied by an interactive CD, she teaches us the traditional practices used to balance each of the chakras. These practices are designed to remove energetic obstacles and blockages in order to transform and revitalize our tissues and cells, not only to create a radiant body and mind, but also to increase that internal flow of energy that will dissolve troubling and repressed memories of the past, cleanse our minds of anxiety and tension, and increase our natural intuition.
