Shantha Sri – Healing Music Artist

Shantha Sri is a Buddhist yogi and healing music artist dedicated to creating specially designed music soundscapes that resonate with the subtle energy centers of the mind and body. He draws from the inspirations of Ayurveda, Dharma, and nature to create music that brings peace and tranquility to the listener. Using various world instruments to produce resonant tonal frequencies and sparse cycling melodies, Shantha Sri’s music assists listeners in finding peace within themselves and oneness with the universe by stimulating the mind toward higher states of conscious mindfulness and concentration.

Shantha Sri has just released his first specially designed-for-yoga CD, “Music for Yoga: Volume 1” – the first of a planned series of music designed for yoga practice for Asana, Pranayama and Meditation.

He produces specialty soundscapes for yoga, meditation, spiritual focusing, relaxation, spa and natural therapies, massage, and sleep therapy. He also teaches self-help guided visualization programs with his healing collaborator, California-based integrative clinical psychologist Dr. Juliet Rohde-Brown.

Shantha Sri has studied yoga and meditation in India, Sri Lanka and the US. His daily personal practice is based around Hatha and Raja yoga in the T. Krishnamacharya and Patanjali tradition, with Nada sound techniques added for helping with Pranayama breathing and Chakra balancing. He also practices Vipassana meditation in the Theravadan Buddhist tradition.

A filmmaker, photographer and healing music composer, Shantha Sri studied Film Music at Griffith University and the Conservatorium of Music, Queensland, Australia, and cinema studies at UCLA/AFI in the US. Through his music and image experimentation, Shantha Sri continues to study the emotional effects of music and imagery on consciousness.

Both film and music projects have earned him international awards.
