My meditations are born from years of practice as a Reiki Master Teacher. They are crafted with love and expertise to bring moments of balance and serenity into your life.

Japanese Temple Meditation
Accompanying this meditation are temple bells, buddhist chants and sounds from nature. These were recorded in Japan.
Track Duration 8:12 mins
Koto (see note below) – played by Hiromi Moffat. Hiromi is an accredited master of Nagauta Kinekatsu Group (Traditional Japanese performing arts)
The tune is called ‘Oborozukiyo’ 朧月夜 Night with a Hazy Moon
When listening to these meditations, rather than set expectations, open your mind and
relax into the sounds. There is no spoken word. The wind chimes at the
beginning can be used to ‘settle’ yourself. Go with the flow until the second
wind chimes indicate the end of the meditation.
I am grateful to my Clarsach mentor, Isobel Mieras MBE, for her support and kindness.
The koto is the national instrument of Japan. They are roughly 180 centimetres (71 in) in length. The most common type uses 13 strings strung over movable bridges used for tuning, different pieces of music requiring different tuning. Koto strings are generally plucked using three fingerpicks (tsume), worn on the first three fingers of the right hand.
