Instrumental New Age Meditation Track Feature: Allan Susoeff, Jr. (Exastis) -Third Eye: 852 Hz

Allan Susoeff, Jr.’s “Third Eye: 852 Hz” focuses on your perception center. I like to refer to it as the all-knowing voice inside, heightening your self-awareness and allowing you to receive information. Like the aperture of a camera with one sound, the seeing eye is wide open.

As the bell rings, the chimes tingle, the singing bowls echo with a resonant tone, and the acoustic piano begins its sojourn over the softness and flexibility of the synth’s colors.

The orchestrations resemble a choir, with a brief, faint birdsong sound in the background.  As the compositions gather momentum, you feel an energy and strength that gives you the secondary sight —the only thing you can envision.

The realizations of the chakra are in full bloom with this 852Hz frequency. This is five minutes and twenty-one seconds of pure audio bliss, ending as it began, with the bell as its focal point.

Third Eye: 852 Hz:

The third-eye chakra, or Ajna chakra, is the sixth of the seven primary chakras in the body. It is our “perception center,” and is believed to be the seat of the soul and the gateway to higher consciousness. The sixth chakra is also associated with light, clarity, understanding, and spiritual insight. It is typically the focal point of concentration during asana and meditation practices. The Solfeggio Frequency of the 3rd eye chakra is 852 Hz, and the key signature and chord is A Major.

Instrumentation: Piano, Rhodes 88 electric Piano, flute, oboe, synths, pads and strings, singing bowls, chimes

Instrumental New Age Meditation Track Feature: Allan Susoeff, Jr. (Exastis) - Peaceful Return

Allan Susoeff, Jr.’s “Peaceful Return” serves a specific purpose in his meditation exercise. This track is designed to guide the individual who has been using the music and frequencies to open and heal the chakras into a gentle, gradual awakening state, providing a clear and informative transition.

Notably, the beginning is absent of the bell chiming, indicative of a starting point for meditation. The piano begins as other instrumentation is added quickly, including the pan flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet, 1st & 2nd violins, viola, cello, contrabass, synths, pads, and strings. This is in addition to the singing bowl that you have become accustomed to hearing in previous tracks, which have been instrumental in guiding you through the meditation process.

The tempo is quite different in this track as well; it has a more rhythmic base and stronger orchestral movements, which are meant to engage you. These elements are specifically designed to energize the listener and guide them back to the waking state of consciousness.

It is indeed a “Peaceful Return” to consciousness and a most beautiful and healing way to do so.

Peaceful  Return Artist Notes:

Often, a “wake-up” song at the end of meditation is used to gently transition our mind from a state of deep relaxation or focus back to the usual waking state. Its purpose is to help avoid startling your brain, making the transition smoother, and ultimately to reinforce any positive feelings or insights gained from the meditation.  This song is almost entirely orchestral and is explicitly composed to nurture feelings of inner peace and contentment, combining that with the incredible magnificence of our innate human right to claim.

Instrumentation: Piano, pan flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet, 1st & 2nd violins, viola, cello, contrabass, synths, pads and strings, singing bowls, timpani, cymbals, orchestral chimes, crotales, bar chimes.

Just two short weeks after the release of his first album, Extasis, in 2019, Allan experienced another quantum leap in life: a heart attack. He emerged from his double bypass surgery with a newfound appreciation for music. The intricacies of instrumental collaborations alone brought new meaning to Allan in the art of creating music. Since then, his focus has been solely on instrumental music that is not only ambient but also uplifting and positively empowering.

Featured Track-Sample The Cat-The Weather

Sample The Cat is a 3-piece American band from Berkshire County, Massachusetts, featuring the powerful soul vocalist Kendrah Bellevue, melodic rock guitarist Steve Dalton at lead and the prodigious Bryan Brophy on keys. Their latest release is a hauntingly beautiful track titled "The Weather." 


The music is a step away from the fusion of jazz, funk, and soul that they perform so well. They are gradually getting enough tracks together, all original, to release a full album.


The timing of this release is perfect for those feeling "The Weather." Not everyone is jolly this time of year, and the last two years have been challenging. The music speaks the truth and lifts your soul.


"The Weather" is a beautiful tapestry of sound and voice to bring the message home with conviction. Sample The Cat wants those suffering to know they are not alone. Music like this soothes you and gives you inner peace and a reprieve from the crazy world around us. As Kendrah sings from her heart and feels the song, her voice's strength and emotion permeate the equally outstanding music accompanying her.


So stop for a few minutes, listen to the words and music, and give in the spirit of humanity to help others less fortunate.


The track speaks volumes for those suffering from depression and the "Winter Blues." They ask you to donate anything you can here in support of mental health.

Track Review: Richard Spasoff-Spirit of Truth

Richard Spasoff feels and intimates his own "Spirit of Truth." The track is different than any contemporary or easy listening that you would hear.

I would call it avant-garde; there is no other explanation other than undefinable.

From my view and my listening pleasure, undefinable is a welcome challenge. It is a fascinating piece that will require more than one listen.

The song features ambient textures layered around a singular acoustic piano and relaxing synths, provided by Cheryl. And to make it all complete her amazing chanting voice. Cheryl creates all of her music by herself and is not afraid to experiment and try something new.


"Ithaca" is a superb new age track meant for deep immersion into our soul and spirit. Healing is here for the taking and in 3:11 minutes you can find yourself at the doorway of enlightenment. Fair warning, you will want more! If so check out here albums her Website
