Well, Emile had a great time vending last Sunday at the CT Astrological Society's quarterly psychic fair. Plenty of new folks were met and it was good to see some old familiar faces too.
As for the website, if you look around you can see I've been making a lot of updates and changes. On the "Touch of the East" page where all our Japanese incense are located, you can now find several books on Hindi deities as well as our carved crystal Dorjes, Phurbas, and Ganesha figures. Look for incense burners here too!
Updates and additions to our CRYSTAL page as well. And hey, we now have a completely new CRYSTAL SKULL & CRYSTAL BALL page. Mostly just skulls as of the time of this writing, but soon I plan to add some stone spheres, crystal balls and bats...and maybe some surprises too? Check back and see!

Serene, harmonic, mystical... these are just a few words to describe the experience of listening to Shaman Bowls from Temple Sounds. Produced and performed be Emile de Leon and Joe Texiera, the album features an atmosphere that's almost otherworldly in it's meditative bliss. From subtle vibrations to the more abrupt chime of the bowls being lightly struck, a plethora of tones are produced, each bringing the listener closer to inner balance. The album is one hour in length, making it idea for meditation, healing practices or Reiki. Tibetan bowls and overtone chanting comprise the first eight tracks, the final track also incorporates light tabla beats to gently signal the end of the session.
CD $17.95
