Pamela's "Joyful Journey" Music CD

Donation protected
Do you love listening to music but find lyrics distracting when trying to concentrate at work, express your own creativity or let the stress of the day go?

Do you spend time trolling through You Tube looking for the perfect piece of music to complement a high vibe mood but by the time you find something you’re left feeling frustrated?


“Joyful Journey” CD has been lovingly crafted to relax the mind and lift the spirit, so you have the perfect background music to get in a feel-good mood whether you’re focusing at work, socializing with friends over dinner, creating in the studio or just bopping around the house.


The intention of “Joyful Journey” is to inspire the experience of peace, healing and a higher level of consciousness in all who listen to it.


Influenced by years of listening to relaxation, meditation, and massage music, this album moves through tracks that are meditative, uplifting and enlivening. It’s wonderful music to listen to when working on creative projects, when you want to raise your energy level or just experience some peace.


Hi! I’m Pamela Catey and here is the story of “Joyful Journey” CD and how it came into existence…


I realized the most relaxing, soothing and flowing music I liked for massage therapy had three qualities: it was repetitive, often played in the same key and on acoustic guitar.


When I discovered a new open tuning for guitar, I immediately had to try it out. To my surprise and delight, the song  "Gypsy Journey", came out whole and complete in one sitting.


Soon thereafter more songs came pouring out and I fell in love with this magical, droning, open tuning that sometimes felt Celtic and other times felt East Indian.


After hearing these songs, musician Joe Gagan encouraged me to record them. I am grateful for his support as my co-producer on the album.


During the process, I became inspired by David Hawkins book "Power vs. Force" and decided to calibrate the CD to an energetic level of peace. I enlisted the help of modern-day Shaman, Dr. Ray Mazon, and through kinesiology we tested every song, instrument and musician to be in alignment with the intention “to inspire the experience of peace, healing and higher level of consciousness in all who listen to it”.


What started out as original instrumental acoustic guitar music that was beautiful, uplifting and fun, "Joyful Journey" CD transformed into something more expansive with the addition of world class musicians.


Here is a list of the instrumentation and musicians recorded.

Pamela Catey- 6 string and 12 string acoustic guitar, classical guitar
Jon Gagan- Fretless Electric Bass, Bowed Upright Bass
Joe Gagan- Electric Guitar and Guitar Effects
Marc Clark- Percussion (Udu, Dumbek and more)
Deborah Barbe- Cello


This project was completely self-funded including paying all the other musicians recorded until the launch of this crowdfunding campaign.



However, the project got pushed to the back burner on and off for many years due to fear, self-doubt, not being a financial priority; a move from New Mexico to Michigan, etc. 


But it’s my dream and desire to get this uplifting, high vibe music out to the people who will appreciate it. 


It's time for this CD to be released into the world so it can be felt and heard by people like you.


In order to complete this magical project, I need your love, help and support.


With the support of the first round of contributors, I was able to hire a cellist to record on two songs, pay for recording, and editing of the album. Most of the remaining expenses are for mastering, graphic design and duplication.  


Here is the estimated budget to complete the project:


Phase 1: Recording- Done.

Phase 2:  Mixing Estimated Cost = $600 
Actual Cost = $600

Phase 3: Mastering Estimated Cost = $800  
Actual Cost = $1500

Phase 4: Artwork and Graphic Design Estimated Cost = $1000

Phase 5: Duplication Estimated Cost = $1000
Actual Cost = $618

Other miscellaneous costs: processing and platform fees (7.9%); packaging & shipping; etc.

MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT REWARD LEVELS


If you live outside the continental United States, please add an extra $5 to help offset the additional cost to ship the physical CD to you.


What is an Accelerated Evolution Session?


An Accelerated Evolution Session is a verbally guided transformative experience that allows you to dissolve inner conflict, emotional and mental blocks and non-serving beliefs, allowing the natural emergence of peace of mind, flow and effortless peak existence.


It’s quite remarkable how in a single session you can quickly and effortlessly relieve mental and emotional stress fully and permanently by removing inner resistance.


It’s completely possible to dissolve deep – even lifelong- blocks and confusions that keep you from enjoying your full human potential.


If you’d like to transform fear, stress or anxiety into peace and liberation or breakthrough limiting patterns that prevent success, choosing this reward level is an amazing opportunity. All sessions are held over the phone or if outside the U.S. we can connect via Skype or Zoom.



What Can I Resolve with an Accelerated Evolution Session?


Any fear including phobias, any chronic problem that sabotages you such as procrastination, overwhelm, self-doubt, etc.


For the "Unleash You" Reward- you’ll receive 2 Accelerated Evolution Sessions that are specifically focused on dissolving the blocks that are holding you back from fully expressing your creativity. The first session will be focused on dissolving probably one these fears- (i.e. fear of being judged, fear of being criticized, fear of rejection, fear of being visible, not feeling good enough, etc.). And the second session will most likely be focused on dissolving the disharmony created from a message you received from someone else that is still impacting you today. Each person is different, so we start with where you are.



Here’s What Others Have to Say About Receiving an Accelerated Evolution Session...


“I had the phenomenal experience of an Accelerated Evolution Session with Pamela, and it was life changing at a core level. I knew intellectually what my block was but with Pamela's process I was able to FEEL the block and get it resolved so I can move forward with my dreams in life. Thank you, Pamela.” – Bobbie Gray


“I'm left feeling amazed after my Accelerated Evolution Session with Pamela today, and I would recommend it to others! I learned so much about myself and everything shifted in the way I was feeling. I started out completely overwhelmed in every area of life.

After we talked about what my current struggles were, Pamela expertly guided me and I saw, heard and felt things that opened my awareness. I was left with 3 action steps to take that I didn't know were a priority before my appointment with her. I take with me the visualization of calm energy that helps me in every moment to be intentional about what I focus on and it made me feel empowered. 

The overwhelm I was feeling previously, completely disappeared! I feel better physically, mentally and spiritually. Thank-you Pamela.” - Chantelle Neufeld



What Kind of Massage Do You Do?


I've spent the last 21 years of a professional massage career developing a relaxing, integrated therapeutic massage. If you like deep pressure, deep tissue massage with someone pressing hard directly on a knotted muscle, I'm NOT the massage therapist for you so please don't pledge this reward. It isn't because I can't do that type of work, it's because I don't believe it serves you long term.


If you want to relax your mind, body, and spirit while receiving a medium to firm pressure massage and feel amazing afterward, I'm your gal. Yes, I can get you out of pain and I don't have to make you sore for 3 days afterward to do it.


I incorporate a lot of different modalities into a session because I've extracted the most effective techniques from both Eastern and Western modalities. Most clients feel whole, connected and integrated by the end of the session because that's how I've approached and treated them during the session. You'll feel AMAZING!



Accelerated Evolution Sessions and Massage Sessions can be scheduled immediately after making your pledge and are expected to be scheduled and redeemed with 90 days of purchase. If you have any concerns or questions, send me a message.


Thank you for supporting me in getting this high vibe, healing music out into the world! After you've placed your order, be sure to help get the word out by sharing on Facebook and/or Twitter.
