The first of the Reiki Healing series released in 1999. The Cho Ku Rei is the first Reiki symbol one is attuned to and focuses on issues related to the physical body. My intent with this musical composition was to create an authentic sonic representation of the symbol itself, with the hope of creating a resonant field in which one could immerse themselves and attune to the vibration of the Cho Ku Rei, whether the individual was a Reiki practitioner or not. The symbol on the cover mirrors the original traditional form.
The composition uses a non-standard tuning system called the spiral of fifths tuned to C256, which is rarely heard in western music. Besides following an immersion in the study and direct experience of the Cho Ku Rei symbol on both a personal and metaphysical level, this composition employs principles and techniques from sacred geometry and the Schillinger system of musical composition to convert the relationships found within the Cho Ku Rei symbol into sound, which was then intuitively composed and arranged into a pleasing musical form. The main proportions at play are within the 5:3:2:1 series, the first of the Fibonacci numbers following the Golden Ratio.
