MUSIC and WELLNESS

Mysterium Music's "Love Shack” Brings Healing Music, Breast Cancer Benefit to Wellness Expos Across the U.S.


Music producer and singer Trisha Bowden and her record company are on a nationwide mission to share the power of healing music.  Mysterium Music - a resource for healing, rest and revival – has garnered three Grammy-nominations in as many years.  The creative executive wants you to hear the magic for yourself at her festive “Love Shack” listening booth, coming to a wellness expo near you soon!
     
A blissful smile adorns the face of a young woman relaxing on festive foam pillows, oblivious to the foot traffic in the aisle just feet away thanks to the headphones she wears, a music player resting in her hand.  She is taking a sonic “timeout” in the fun, relaxing “Love Shack” of Mysterium Music, which will be accessible to the public this weekend, October 16 – 18, as part of the New Life Expo in NYC, NY.  

The record label’s founder, Trisha Bowden, says she enjoys when people approach her with specific health challenges, so that she can program the iPod with just the right mix of rejuvenating music and invite them to kick back and relax.  People are surprised, she says, to experience music as something more than entertainment, even though medicine men and women have incorporated music into their treatments for centuries.  For Bowden -- a singer herself -- creating music for healing, rest and revival is a mission that she takes as seriously as her desire to support others on their journeys.

“I live in a little bit of heaven by a lake in Hanover, PA” she explained in a call from last week's Mind Body Wellness Expo in Oaks, PA.  “We built an intimate recording studio, a special place to express and record our music and the music of others, which we share around the world.  They are musical works of art for healing and rejuvenation of mind, body, spirit and soul.”

In the past few years, Mysterium Music has earned three Grammy nominations for its music, embracing 10x-Grammy nominee Peter Kater, and most recently, debuting the critically-acclaimed Agrelia’s Castle album Elders and Ancestors, featuring roots/rock keyboardist Paul Brown (The Waterboys). The latter title is a tribute to all the compassionate mentors that the husband/wife duo met along their own cancer journey; it is poignant, uplifting and hauntingly beautiful music that they suggest be used as a soothing “tool” for any stage of living or dying.

In the booth, the reclining woman’s eyes flutter open, and she looks about at the crowds. “I was absolutely transported,” she says, to Bowden’s delight. “I don’t ever want to leave here,” she exclaims, picking up a copy of one of the label’s best-selling CDs titled Light Body, “But if I have to go, then I’m taking one of these with me!”

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, the label will donate $5 of every Elders and Ancestors CD sold during the expos to benefit Breast Cancer patients. 

Bowden enthusiastically welcomes expo goers to stop by for their own customized Sonic Soothing(c) session. This weekend’s The New Life Expo is in New York City's Penn Plaza Pavillion, 401 7th Ave New York, NY, 10001.  Last week, Bowden attended the popular Body Mind Spirit Celebration at Colorado Springs City Auditorium, 221 East Kiowa Street, CO Springs, CO.  She's excited to "pack the Shack" and take her music mission to the Big Apple for

Bowden also hopes to meet caregivers, healing centers, and other like-minded entities for collaboration and creative partnerships. To learn more about Mysterium Music, Trisha Bowden or any of the music, visit www.MysteriumMusic.com
