REVIEWS & ENDORSEMENTS
"When I first listened to "All Is Forgiven" my husband and I were driving in the car. I was thankful that I was in the passenger's seat, because all I could do was just close my eyes and be taken into the heavenly sounds. I noticed that my breathing actually slowed down, and I felt as if I was being taken into a beautiful place in my heart that was being awakened by Ashana's serene vocals, and the sacred bowls that she plays. The album is light and beautiful... but takes you right into your heart... where all is forgiven." — Snatam Kaur
"Anyone who hears even one song from "Beloved" is liable to become a fan of Ashana. a kirtan singer and gifted player of crystal singing bowls who posesses a voice so clear and pure it melts even the most reticent of hearts. "Beloved" finds Ashana teaming up with producer Thomas Barquee, who creates beautiful and sonically warm, and yet fully and invitingly spare settings for Ashana's heavenly voice to soar to the heavens, as if you've been waiting for this album all of your life without even knowing it."— Daily Om
"If there are levels of heavenly ecstasy that can be measured by those of us in human form then it must be said that "Beloved," takes the whole idea of magnificence and musical healing to the highest level. With "Beloved," Ashana has fully emerged as a truly divine artist in this ever-expanding genre of healing music."— Lloyd Barde, Aura Magazine

"Ashana's ethereal voice soars and inspires on "Jewels of Silence", music perfect for meditation, prayer, yoga and bodywork." — Light of Consciousness Magazine, Spring 2010
"Ashana's ethereal soprano voice is exquisitely paired with the crystal bowls she plays on this album of transcendental music. "Ave Maria" with the gong and drone of the crystal bowls supporting her delicately lilting vocals, is simply heavenly. Co-written and produced by the renowned recording artist, Thomas Barquee,— this album is a gift of peace to share with family and friends from all backgrounds."
— Review of "All Is Forgiven," Light of Consciousness Magazine, Spring 2008
"The first thing you notice about the amazing voice of Ashana is her radiance. An entire children's chorale seems to dwell within this one female voice-timeless, ethereal, and-in its egoless way-powerful. Her voice stays so still and centered that one becomes cognizant of the world turning around it, the music playing, the time passing, but Ashana is outside it all. Her stunner of an album, All Is Forgiven, is perfectly suited in length and tonality for a short meditation. A blissful rendition of "Ave Maria," opens with a slow three-note-chAnime series over which her vocals slowly coalesce, surging to operatic highs or holding long, healing energy tones as the music dictates. The miraculous quality of Ashana's voice, its power to soothe and heal as it soars up octaves and holds notes until they blend with chimes into infinity — comes to us like a message from beyond, bearing white radiance and creating the healing space with which we can remember true destinies and connect with the eternal grace of the present moment." — Daily Om
