Second album from the Four Elements (Earth) by Nick Ashron. Earthdance is an instrumental celebration of the four seasons of nature that link with the cycles of spiritual growth and developement, i.e. SPRING - Birth/Rebirth, SUMMER - Experience, AUTUMN - Reflection and WINTER - Initiation; when all that has gone before is re-evaluated internally and is manifest on another level the following Spring.
Earthdance follows in the footsteps of one of Nick Ashron's most popular albums The River Song Suite, with gentle acoustic guitar invoking the healing spirit of nature, but includes more powerful instrumental tracks with additional piano and percussion by Steve Jay (at Merlyns Cave Studio).
This CD is ideal for use in healing, meditations and visualisations - especially for grounding, connecting to the Earth and sending healing energy to 'Mother Earth'.

"Absolutely stunning. Listened to it at 6am door wide open, birds chirping and having breakfast from feeder. Completely lost myself. I felt I was in the music, so relaxed and grounded. When it finished I was walking on air. Had a DR's appointment and for the first time in years my blood pressure was perfect. Keep them rolling Nick." TOPAZ (Dee Ann Blackmore)
