Beyond is a series of four albums featuring prayers, mantras and lullabies from the religions Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam and Sikhism. The project started in 2009 together with the music therapist Regula Curti and the mantra singer Dechen Shak-Dagsay.
The first version of the Beyond album included only a spoken intro and some interludes from Tina. Because of it's success, it was expanded with additional Buddhist prayers performed by Tina. The second album Children Beyond was performed by thirty children from different cultures and nations, Tina, Regula and Dechen. Beside the spoken spiritual message from Tina, she also sings together with all other artists on some songs. Love Within is the third album, featuring the same singer like before, plus the Hindu singer Sawani Shende-Sathaye. Tina starts with the spiritual message and a breathtaking interpretation of Amazing Grace. The track Mother Within includes a new version of the Tina written song I'm A Motherless Child, which was already recorded by Ike & Tina Turner for the album Outta Season. The fourth and last album from the project is Awakening Beyond, including Regula Curti from Zurich (Switzerland), Ani Choying from Kathmandu (Nepal), Dima Orsho from Damascus (Syria), Sawani Shende Sathaye from Pune (India) and Mor Karbasi from Jerusalem (Israel). Tina speaks only the spiritual message but don’t sing on any track. All four albums were re-issued as a Collector’s Box for the occasion of Tina's book My Love Story in 2018.

The track Mother was for a short time a digital download, released just in time for Mother’s Day on May 11, 2014 to promote the third album Love Within. The second and last single from this album was Heavenly Home with a much shorter and more up-tempo mix than on the album.
