7. Violet - Lotus Flower. The final track Adie and I created for Nature's Rainbow is based on the Crown Chakra note of 'B' and features a Singing Bowl to begin with. The Harp and Koto String begin with a 'question and answer' musical conversation. A blend of Wind Chimes and soft Pads create the solemn mood of the piece. All notes from other tracks appear in a short growing section halfway through. Beautiful Bass and Pizzicato Strings lead to a thought provoking end. The solo Violin pulls at your heart strings and makes this track quietly intense and calming. This track takes us on the journey of the lotus flower and reflects on how similar our own life’s journey is. It leaves you feeling calm and peaceful and choosing to trust your life’s journey. ♥Anna-Christina

6. Indigo - Night Sky. Track number six from Nature's Rainbow took Adie and I into the night sky! We used a soft bell sequencer to create the feel of stars twinkling in the sky. Based on the Third Eye Chakra note of 'A', we created a gentle flowing piece of music with a female Choir, Woodwind instruments, Pad sounds, Sound Effects, Strings, Harp and a Basson. This track opens your thoughts to the majestic infinite beauty of the night sky. It leaves you feeling humbled, blessed and full of hope, knowing you are a child of the universe blessed with infinite possibilities and potential. ♥Anna-Christina

5. Blue - Blue Lagoon. A pulsing Drome and Sample sounds are at the heart of this uplifting track. Based on the blue Throat Chakra note of 'G', this is the fifth track from Nature's Rainbow album. Guitars, Bass Arpeggios, Strings, Acoustic Drums and an Air Whistle give the music a vibrant feel. It also features Harp, Vibes and a Soft Pad. This track flows over you cleansing you from head to toe, leaving you feeling invigorated and alive, shouting Yes to life, Yes to adventure, Yes to being true to yourself. ♥Anna-Christina

4. Green - Grass. Based on the green Heart Chakra note of 'F', this is the forth track Adie and I composed for Nature's Rainbow. The music in this track has a soft tribal vibe. Brass instruments lead over a low continuous Bass drum pulse. Halfway through, the track grows with the introduction of Conga Drums and Staccato Violins. The Brass section proudly builds towards the end. This track reminds us the earth is the heart of our planet and pulsates with the cycle of life. It leaves you feeling grounded, peaceful and unconditionally loved and loving. ♥Anna-Christina

3. Yellow - Sunshine. This is the third track from Nature's Rainbow Mindfulness Meditation for Teens album. Based on the yellow Solar Plexus Chakra note of 'E', Adie created a drum loop which set the whole track in motion. We used a Koto String giving the music a slightly oriental feel to it. The pulsing Bass line is reminiscent of a heart beat. At around 2 minutes, the music shifts and begins to grow into an uplifting melody which builds up, creating a positive, energetic feeling before dropping into a new section of music to end. This track reminds you that you are a radiant being of light and caresses every cell of your body with warmth and love. ♥Anna-Christina

2. Orange - Orange. This was the second track Adie and I wrote for Nature's Rainbow. Based on the orange Sacral Chakra note of 'D'. We merged a soft Bass with a French Horn, a String and a gentle Pad sound to create the beginning section. This track features three different guitar parts played by Adie. These appear one by one throughout the track, then layered together at the end. Adie's guitar parts inspired my soft Tapped Wineglass and Piano melodies. This track is filled with the zesty spirit of an orange and leaves you feeling energised, refreshed and full of zest for life. Listen to a sample below. ♥Anna-Christina

To celebrate the release of Nature's Rainbow Mindfulness Meditation for Teens album, this month, I will be posting links to the downloads with a little insight into how Adie Hardy and I created the music in each track. I shall begin with the first track we made.
1. Red - Rose. Based on the red Root Chakra note of 'C', a gentle Warm Pad runs throughout the whole track giving it a spacious yet powerful feel. We used a combination of soft Bells, a Singing Bowl, Harp and Strings to form its soothing sound. A solo Violin enters towards the end of the piece before it returns to the gentle melody of the Flute. This track is filled with the warmth and beauty of a red rose and its message of unconditional love. Click on the link below and have a quick listen! ♥Anna-Christina

Nature’s Rainbow (Mindfulness Meditation for Teens) album has been designed to nurture and inspire young minds. Created by the author of the Magnificent Me Magnificent You series Dawattie Basdeo, each track nurtures mindfulness of the world around us and explores what we can learn from nature and empowerment of the self.
The music has been specially composed by Anna-Christina and Adie Hardy. Each track has its own flavour that complements and enhances the guided meditations written and performed by Dawattie Basdeo. Unlike other meditational music, the music has been created specifically for each colour of the rainbow, gliding between the ebb and flow of the words to aid the unique listening experience. The music is based upon the resonant note of the chakras and is designed to connect you with your inner peace. The album is now available to pre order.
