SPIRIT FOR THE MILLENNIUM
by J. Bird

A new CD by the composer of CHANT. Unlike CHANT, SPIRIT is guaranteed to set the mood for any event or occasion, or even to just listen to on a Sunday afternoon. A different artist is presented on each track, providing a variety of sounds and melodies. This is also a good CD to play while driving in traffic. Take a moment and allow Spirit to carry you into the new millennium.

WALK WITH THE ANGELS - DANCEABLE JOY
by Hannah and Friends

A "spiritual" CD for all you Jazz lovers out there. The sounds are of the jazz flute with vocals, keyboards, guitars, bass, percussion and sax. This music is "high spirited" and uplifting. Take time to "dance in the Joy vibration."

THE HEALING WATERFALL AND LIGHTBEING
by Max Highstein, with Jill Andre.

So often a customer will come into Awakenings, the store where I work, and ask me for guided meditation tapes or CD's. HEALING WATERFALL AND LIGHTBEING is the number one tape/CD that I recommend. Although this was created in 1985, this remains one of the top- selling guided imagery albums in the world. Jill's voice is very soothing, assisting you to reach a higher vibration…..one of inner peace, harmony and balance. There are two guided meditations on this album. Take a quiet moment for yourself, sit back, or lie down if you prefer, and take this inner journey to your secret place of serenity

THE EDGE OF FOREVER
by Hilary Stagg

This is one of my favorite CD's, one that I use often in the Meditation Group at Awakenings. Hillary takes you to a musical sanctuary where serenity, power and tranquility await. The loving vibration of his harp will gently connect you with your soul, with the Creator of All That Is. An outstanding album for massage therapist, healers and meditators! This seems to be a time of release and clearing for so many of us as we near the Millennium. Allow this wonderful CD to assist you to go with the flow of whatever serves your Highest Good.

ANGELS OF LOVE AND HEALING
by Keith Salmon

An English guitarist, Keith Salmon plays his soft, gentle and extremely melodious tunes on this CD. Using a synthesizer, piano and orchestra, he has created a piece of music that is well suited for meditation, healing sessions or delightful encounters with the Angelic Kingdom.

ANGELIC MUSIC
by Iasos FEB/MAR 99

Another wonderful CD for Healers and Energy workers, as well as meditation, or even just to enjoy the soothing sounds of the Angelic Kingdom. This CD is particularly nice if you don't care for the changing of tracks, since there are only two compositions on the album, each of which has a playing time of 29.50 minutes. The sounds are soothing and peaceful, allowing for that gentle connection of heart and soul. What is particularly interesting about this album though, is that the Psychology Department at Plymouth College rated it the highest (by quite a margin) as being the most like the heavenly music heard by people who had near death experiences. IASOS pronounced.

ANGELS OF HEALING
by Chrystalia FEB/MAR 99

The most requested type of music at Awakenings is music for meditation and energy/healing work. This CD is a favorite of mine and thus is frequently played during my Meditation Group sessions. It contains two pieces of music, each lasting approximately 26 minutes. What most impresses me about this is its vibration. It allows you to go within, quiet the mind and experience that beautiful sense of self as it provides you with an almost instantaneous connection with the Universe. It is also a wonderful CD to play if you feel stressed and need to just sit back and release the tensions of the day. Relax and enjoy!

ULURU
by Tony O'Connor APRIL/MAY 99

(no pic) This is a wonderful CD from Australia. Tony is a multi-winning Australian composer known for his Music for Relaxation. Uluru is a monolith that is inhabited by the Nanungu people who bring us instruments such as the Didgeridoo and Clap Sticks. Also included are the piano, harp and full orchestra. The melody is relaxing and peaceful, inviting the soothing sensations of harmony that we all seek. Come and enjoy the mystical sounds of the Land Down Under.

CELTIC SOLSTICE
by Paul Winter

A new CD out of the lovely land of Ireland. This music is created with a combination of the pipe organ and the Uilleann pipes played by the historic convergence of Irish and American musicians who make up the orchestra. The female vocalist's hauntingly lovely voice is wonderful, and the music is gentle and loving, conveying the deep and sensitive emotions of the Celts. All of the words to the music are included with this album. Buy this one and listen...

HARPESTRY
, A Contemporary Collection of Artists

If you love the sound of the Harp, this CD is one you may wish "to take a listen to." Some tracks are soft and whispy, while others are delightfully enthusiastic and as high-spirited as the water sprite in your garden fountain. Many tunes are Celtic in nature evoking images and feelings of ancient rolling hills and wide-open spaces.

INSIDE MONUMENT VALLEY
by R. Carlos Nakai

Nakai brings to us another beautiful collection of the sounds of the Native Americans. He creates music that is intimate and majestic. Wind, thunder, bird song, the keening of falcons and even the cries of ravens provide a lyrical grace. The sound of Nakai's Native American flute is indeed haunting.

DIVINE VIBRATIONS
by Glenn Ballentyne

A "must have" for followers of Yogananda, this CD is the fourth album of music from Paramanhansa Yogananda's Cosmic Chants. Glen has centered mainly on the intimacy, tenderness and sweetness of Yogananda's spiritualized songs. Each melody contains the instruments of violins, harp, piano, flutes and guitars bringing you into the loving Joy vibration.

CHANTS FROM ISIS
by Nhanda Devi

A very nice album for those who enjoy working with the feminine energy. Nhanda Devi creates with this music an energy space allowing the listener to get in touch with the ancient female divine force, embodied by the goddess Isis, which guides you to your own female source and unity.

HARP OF THE HEALING WATERS
by Erik

A beautiful CD for Healer's and Energy workers. The sound of the Celtic Harp provides a soothing and relaxing environment allowing the energies to gently flow. This is an especially pleasant CD as all seven tracks maintain a peaceful sound. It is always nice for both the facilitator, as well as the client, to find a CD that is not intrusive when in a healing or energy work session. I also found this album to be very good for meditation. Since the music is not at all distracting, it allows you to make that wonderful connection with your Higher Self in an atmosphere of Peace, Serenity and Balance. I have always enjoyed soft music in the background when I read and this CD is definitely on my list of favorites.

ZEN MORNING
by Robert Slap FEB/MAR 99

For those of you who enjoy the sounds and traditions of the east, this CD will prove to be a "good buy." Some of the compositions are "drifty and bluesy" while others call to the heartbeat of Mother Earth. You get a sense of walking through a misty garden in Japan at daybreak, bringing in the vibration of the mystical east. Robert uses a variety of instruments: Kyoto, Japanese Drum, Oboe, Guitar, Gong, synthesizers and various percussion to create the wonderful world of Zen. If you are a fan of Robert, you won't want to miss this CD.
