Music as Medicine - Nawang Khechog app for iPhone and iPad

Ancient Tibetan teachings tell us that merely seeing an image of the Medicine Buddha or even hearing his name holds the power to heal. Now, acclaimed musician and former Buddhist monk Nawang Khechog invokes the blessings of this potent deity with the Music as Medicine app.

Nawang is one of the few Tibetan musicians today who has received the blessing transmission of these teachings. Here, he shares them with the world as a catalyst for transformation. Premier native American musician R. Carlos Nakai joins him, creating a cross-cultural apothecary of soothing melodies and healing chants to infuse this universal energy into anyone who listens.

The Music as Medicine app includes Tibetan flute, long horn, and overtone chanting; native American flute and drum; universal horn; and calming chants to restore balance and health.

"To produce original music with such soothing and tranquilizing qualities is rare." — The New York Times
