Albums

This music was created as an uplifting and supportive audial companion for life's many challenges, transitions and metamorphosis. It has been found to be particularly healing, comforting and inspiring for people facing everything from common daily stress, disease, trauma and even the process of dying. Using the seven chakras as a map, this is a musical journey towards love, peace and acceptance that can provide significant relief and support to individuals and loved ones facing life changing circumstances.

Ligh Body CDLight Body was born out of a collaboration of ideas that Peter Kater and I tossed around after meeting and becoming friends on a whale watching retreat he put on in Maui.  We both have been drawn to the idea of helping people in Hospice with music.  This was really an idea conceived out of noticing a gap in care for those people in pain, going through change and of course those facing the dying process. This includes their loved ones.  Knowing that the sense of hearing is the last sense to stay with us as we leave our bodies, we know that the last music we hear should be comforting , remove fear, should trigger pleasant memories and feelings of belonging. With this in mind, Light Body was born. 

 Peter used the natural 7 Chakra energy pathway as a map to create a musical journey towards love, peace and acceptance. I feel very honored to have 7 time Grammy Nominee, Peter Kater, as the first artist to be a part of Mysterium Music. I also feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to be the vocalist on this CD.

Peter is an amazing producer as well as a composer and pianist, and is able to bring out the best in everyone he works with. He certainly did that for me.

We hope that Light Body, the CD, is something that music therapists, massage therapists, healing arts practitioners, psychologists, psychotherapists, hospice workers  and anyone looking for balance and peace in their practice or in their own lives can carry with them and access at any time.  Even the painting on the cover, by artist Valerie McManus, was commissioned and designed specifically for Light Body to encourage a feeling of peace and enlightenment. Relax and enjoy the journey towards Light Body.

Testimonials
 

I recently had the rare and wonderful opportunity to use new music by Peter Kater with vocals done by Trish Bowden during a Healing Touch session. This CD called "Light Body" isn't scheduled to be available until September 2012, so it occurred to me that I was the first to experience it in a healing environment. I was not disappointed! Music is a key vibrational component in all of my energy healing sessions as it sets the tone for relaxation and can provide an opening for a gradually deeper and more subtle connection between myself and the recipient. Anything too distracting can disrupt that connection. Healing is about a partnership which requires one to be grounded and focused as a facilitator for the energy to flow, while the recipient must simply be present, open and willing to receive. Trish's lovely, etheric vocals have been integrated perfectly with Peter's masterful performance on piano. Each track beautifully represents one of the seven major chakras and flows in order from the lower root chakra up to the crown. Although my hand positions were not exactly in sync with each chakra on the tracks, the CD in its entirety created the perfect ambience for our session. This first time collaboration between Peter and Trish is sure to be a new favorite for healing practitioners as well as anyone looking to calm the heart and soul.

I have used "Light Body" for my personal and professional work. This music helps ground and connect to the inner core and heart, bringing one into balance. This album is very powerful. At night I play "Light Body" as I go to sleep. I find that it increases and promotes relaxation and sound sleep at the end of the day. What better way to sleep and wake up, in balance. When doing Healing/Relaxation work, clients respond well.The more responsive and relaxed they are, the more balanced and open they can be. When we are open to possibilities, amazing things are possible and happen. This album, is just that, amazing.

If "Light Body" doesn't put Peter Kater on the new age healing music charts, I don't know what will. Trisha face it, a guy of my background ... beer drinking southern rock, redneck hell raiser. Well, if whoever were to listen to this CD didn't have a soul they would have found it, for sure, by the time it was finished. BEAUTIFUL trip, truly! I felt real good memories from my childhood come up when I was listening to it the first time. Now every time I listen to it, I can calm myself down to where I can relax and not think about my pain. I even feel I can sense what comes in the great hereafter. Thanks for sharing this with me.

This CD meant  so much to my family and friends during our Hospice transition, with my husband. He was diagnosed with small cell cancer and within five an a half months we were in hospice and lost our fight in six months. The tones and sounds that came through the CD were so soothing and  calming, I still listen to the CD when I am missing my husband and it makes me feel close to him. Trish was kind enough to let me play it during my husband's memorial service and it seemed to put a calming to the room. I will be forever grateful to have received one of the first copies. It seems as if the CD was made for my husband and me. Thank You for this Blessing during such a sad time.

The first time I listened to LIGHT BODY and used it during one of my bodywork therapy sessions, both myself and my client lost ALL concept of time! The combination of Trisha's vocals and Peter's piano takes you on a powerful "chakra journey" that defies all time and space.

The Wings of Love

Love is the wings that will carry us from life to light.
Love is what makes living possible and dying bearable,
both our own death and the saddening departures of all
those whom we have cared about.
for it is Love and only Love that bridges the abyss between life
as we have known it and life as we shall discover it after death.
Whatever love we feel, give, discover or receive in this life, that love
is the pattern, the prototype and the window to the inestimable radiant
pure incomprehensible Love we shall feel in the light, after life.......

LIGHT BODY, a chakra meditation, is a sound healing experience. Kater on piano, Bowden on vocals and McCandless on winds combine talents to offer the presence of peace.

This musical journey begins at the root chakra and progresses upward through these subtle energy centers along the spine ascending to the crown. As each center of intelligence is pierced, it becomes relaxed, balanced and charged. The result is free flow of life energy - prana.

As the meditation progresses, relaxation deepens. With relaxation, stress dissolves naturally. One experiences healing, balance and joy.

The concept of Light Body was birthed through Kater and Bowden’s collective yoga experience. During yoga, the chakras balance effortlessly, uniting body, mind and spirit. Light Body heals through nada yoga, the yoga of sound. The CD cover art depicts Peter during meditation on his beloved island of Maui. In this original work, artist McManus paints in concert with Kater’s inspiration from a deep meditative connection to Source.

“Kater’s music mirrors the great soul depth of this Silence that he experiences. Filled by the Silence, each note is a response. Here he connects to Source and listens deeply. That is what it takes to be a great artist and MUSICIAN " ~Valerie McManus

Light Body is seamlessly woven together with artistry and expertise. Great attention to detail creates the total experience.

Light Body can be used alone or as a compliment to traditional medical treatment. It is suitable for general relaxation, yoga class, Reiki, massage or other body work. It is effective as background music during guided meditations and creates a relaxed ambience in one’s living or work space. Bowden’s soothing vocals render the heart chakra worthy of looping.

Overall, I highly recommend Light Body. All are invited all to kick back, relax and journey within. (5 Stars)

Light Body depicts my inner vision of Peter Kater’s deep connection to Source. It celebrates the light of creation that animates us all.

Peter’s muse is the sun. Light Body, the painting, depicts him merging into the Divine Radiance on his beloved island of Maui.

As Peter explains, the tropical interplay of elements is one of his greatest motivations. During sunrise and sunset, the ocean and all of the elements connect in a magnificent display of Light. This fractal expansion is the perfect interplay of all elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether.

Peter is a great maestro of interpreting sound. His art in music is very evident in the silence between notes.

In those spaces he gains great depth. In the space between notes, Peter unites with Source - the Great Expansion - Eternity. This soul depth is what it takes to be a true artist.

In the silence, he listens. Each note is his response. This call and response becomes the dance his songs are made of.

This magical union through meditative insight is what he’s been called to do. No one else in the world can reflect that for him.

When one with nature, Peter experiences the depth of the ocean and rises high like the sky. His notes have colors like fire. Peter’s music mirrors the Infinite.

Like the sacred honey bee, Peter brings the divine nectar of inner peace and joy to humanity. The collective then resonates to the sacred geometry that lies therein.

This musical language speaks to all nations. His music is a frequency attunement expanding the consciousness and well being of mankind.

Peter’s connection to the Transcendent is what inspired my artistic interpretation. I painted Light Body to resonate in concert with his deep connection to Creation – that which connects us all.
