Performed by Lloyd Richards (Didgeridoo), Sarah Hopkins (cello & overtone singing) with students from St Joseph's school in Childers (Queensland, Australia) playing Harmonic Whirlies & Choirchimes.
"The celestial sounds of the bells & harmonic whirlies send blessings all around the world. The sound of the Didgeridoo, so ancient in origin activates the earth's songlines offering healing & sustenance to Mother Earth. The cello melodies activate our heart chakras offering us healing & sustenance. As we're bathed in the 'Blessings for World Peace' we remember that we are indeed all one ; & we remember that world peace actually starts right here & now in the hearts & homes of each & every one of us." (S.H. 2005)
