SOUND MASSAGE

This is a CD I want to fall all over an love on. But, given the problem it has had since day one, I should totally be rating it lower. But, I'll get to why I didn't in a moment. So I bought this 3 years ago, but because life got just a little crazy for me around that time, I didn't get around to writing a review at that time. But today I was at a practice and philosophy training for my son's music therapy, and it reminded me that you know, it would be a good thing to nurture myself a bit right now with some sounds that are balm to my soul, and this is one of the CDs I pulled out. And this in particular I wanted to try some songs tonight, because I was hoping it would help mellow out my little man before bed time. But initially, I bought it because I heard "Floating to Forever" on one of my Pandora stations, and I just fell in love with how relaxing that song was. And at that time, I needed all the help I could get in that department. Boy, did I.Anywho, So you hit track one, Mating Call, and it indeed does start out sultry, transitions into notes of longing, exhilaration and enticement, and I thought...ok, appropriate name. You hit Harmonic Heaven, and it is so super soothing I wanted to melt into a puddle onto my couch, and only thoughts of all the things that could go wrong with my son kept me conscious. Yah, it's that mellow, even my little guy tonight grabbed my hand and tried to drag me to his bedroom door halfway through it. Score!Next up, we have Touch of Grace, and it starts out with tones that evoke images of innocence and rebirth for me, sun dappled forests, and then a very abrupt, nasal "ee, ee, ee, ee" as the CD gets stuck and won't progress forward. That's the problem it's had since day one, when it came with a broken case, and I'm guessing that the small scratch that happened during shipping damaged that part of the CD. It is of course, very jarring when it occurs, and given that this is a CD to promote relaxation and healing...I can't just lay back and relax, I have to make sure I skip track 3. Because a stuck CD and the noise it makes is definitely a tension producing noise for me.I do find the remaining songs to be enjoyable, soothing, and relaxing. And if I weren't typing right now, I'd probably be zonked out. It's that soothing. I should probably rate it lower given the scratch and the damaged condition it arrived in, but I've put up with it for 3 years, so I figure...you know, I just value the rest of it, life was crazy, and these things can happen. Things were crazy enough at that time that returning things wasn't anywhere on my horizon, and I don't want to hold this too much against the CD, when it could have happened during shipping. But it does effect my ability to fully enjoy and use the product, hence the deducted star. Otherwise, I totally love it.

I needed it for my relaxing facial room. It was very soothing. This is important to me when treating a client.

There is nothing Dean and Dudley have done that I don't like! A genuine master of peace and tranquillity. If those are two things you want to bring into your life then I cannot recommend Deans music enough. Special thanks to all the sellers who are helping to bring this!

Too much riffing and noodling by solo instruments….Not relaxing.I was expecting more of an ambient experience.

I heard this CD at the reflexology massage that I go to and loved the music so much I bought the CD.

If your new to massage therapy, or a veteran, and have never had the privledge of listening to Dean Evenson, then you are truly in store of a magical journey of self discovery. If you go to soundings of the planet. com you can experience this even more. This cd from beginning to end takes you on a journey, that you hope never ends. Don't believe me, buy it and see for yourself.

Ok

Beautiful relaxing music. I play this to relieve stress and lessen the pain from Rheumatoid Arthritis. Puts me to sleep. Helps me to cut back on pain meds.

Die Musik-CD Sound Massage von Dean Evenson habe ich bei der Akupunktur kennengelernt. Sie gefiel mir so gut, dass ich sie mir schnell bei Amazon bestellt habe. Nun höre ich sie mehrmals am Tag auf CD-Player beim Meditieren oder vor dem Einschlafen. Ich finde diese Musik mit Harfe, Querflöte, Keyboard wunderschön, sie regt meine Fantasie an. Dann stehe ich an der Pazifikküste von Südamerika und höre die Brandung rauschen. Oder ein anderes Mal träume ich davon auf den Seychellen am Strand zu stehen... zauberhaft, traumhaft und vor allem entspannend.Diese Musik fährt mich herunter vom Alltag, löst Denkblockaden..... die Wirkung dieser Musik ist noch besser als buddhistische Zen-Meditation.Ich kann diese CD zum Entspannen und träumen sehr empfehlenswert. Sehr angenehme und schöne Musik.

Excellent relaxation music for setting a spa atmosphere. Calming and sounds of nature will put you to sleep. If you like flute, birds chirping, and waves, this is perfect. Dean Evenson has great works!
