Artists' Hall of Gratitude

~Johannes Linstead (Sevaji) ~

Picture

Why do we like Johannes Linstead (Sevaji)?

Johannes Linstead (Sevaji) is one of our absolute of favorite artists here at The New Gaea Foundation, but he has won a permanent place in our work and our lives.  Johannes is an award-winning, multi-instrumental artist and composer who creates music that we like to term "holistic".  His Latin guitar pieces can either help us to relax with the smooth, slower tempos or find a boost of energy with the more fiery, dance-inspiring, "gotta move" rhythms. We have found that Sevaji's pieces are perfect for yoga and some meditation settings.   

The truly unique element that draws us to the music of Johannes/Sevaji is the holistic nature of the sounds of his songs.  In composing his own pieces, Johannes weaves a rich tapestry of sounds that combine in such a way as to nourish the entire body with energy.  As many of us are well aware, especially those of us in the Healing arts, sound has a vibration and an energy.  At the Foundation, we have observed that the energies of Johannes' melodies come into the body through the Heart chakras then radiate throughout the body from these Heart centers.  The rich and complex alchemy of sounds Harmonize and Balance the chakra system alleviating stress and dissipating stagnant energies.  While the slower melodies relax the body more quickly, the faster ones seem to eliminate the stress and stagnant energies more rapidly.  We like to use a combination of both tempos in our yoga instructions, and during breaks in our classes and other instructions to help our students stay focused, energized, and Balanced.  At other times, we find the delightful simplicity and elegance of Johannes' piano album, "Dreams Go By", a perfect background for our activities.

For those who are accustomed to nourishing the body through meditation, we highly recommend Sevaji's instrumental pieces, along with the slower, smooth Latin guitar songs.  We have also found some of these compositions to be uniquely multi-dimensional in nature.  

Aside from being an exceptional musician and composer, Johannes is also a KRI Certified Kundalini Yoga instructor, Healer, and author (Buddha in a Business Suit).  He teaches yoga as his schedule allows, and at times offers spiritual retreats at his Divine Earth Ashram in the Dominican Republic.  

Thank you, Johannes (Sevaji), for sharing the outstanding excellence of your talents, your genius, your spirituality, and your work well-done, for they are Joy and inspiration to all who partake of them.


For those of you who are new to Johannes' gifts, 
we hope you enjoy a little taste of them shared here.... 


This magical melody is entitled "Healer's Trance" from Sevaji's Everlasting Joy album.   Close your eyes, listen with your Heart, and see where it takes you.... 

One of our favorite slow Latin guitar songs is "Ilusion" from Johannes' album "Guitarra del Fuego".  Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy this beautiful song. 

"Journey to Alcazba" from the album "Mediterranea" is a breath-taking example of Johannes' incredible skill as a guitarist.  It is easy to see why his is referred to as the "Guitar of Fire".  It also serves as a testament to the reasons why he has won numerous awards worldwide, including "World Artist of the Year", "Guitarist of the Year", "Best World Album" award (several times), and many others.  

From the album "Dreams Go By" comes the wonderfully happy melody, 
"Drops of Joy".

Update November 2017:

Johannes' latest album, entitled "Azul", is yet another incredible addition to his many accomplishments.  While this album is being referred to as his best yet, we find it difficult to compare with Johannes' other Latin guitar albums.  Each one is unique.  Each one has its own flavor and style.  Each one provides a rich and deeply stimulating soundscape.  "Azul" offers all this and more. 

One should always listen to music that resonates and Harmonizes with the energy field and the chakra systems, as it enhances one's health and well-being.  This is one of the reasons why we Love all of Johannes'  music - Latin Guitar, piano, and music for yoga.  The harmonies and energies of his compositions provide what feels like a full body massage for the energy systems.  The melodies leave the listener relaxed yet rejuvenated, while helping to bring Balance into the chakra systems at the same time.  Any of his albums are wonderful for music therapy.

Well done, Johannes.....and thank you!!  

With a Zen-like sound, "Flows Like Water" speaks of other worlds in distant places.
In the title track, one can experience the intricate dance between Johannes' fiery Latin guitar and the equally fiery violin played by Vasyl Popadiouk.  
Don't forget to breathe as you listen!
