Review: The Sound Healing Collection (Six CD Set)

Did you know that our cells and molecules are tiny radio transmitters and receivers? Sound can be a powerful healer ...

The therapeutic power of sound, more specifically of music can be miraculous. Get Six sound engineers together who know this and we could quite literally move mountains. The power of music is something that musicians and ancient mystics have always known. With this Aquarian-age and universal frequency shift, the scientific community is now "waking up". It is an extremely exciting time in our world because it is changing. Many believe that a new "awareness" will allow this transformation to be one of positive change, planetary alignment, atonement and brotherly love. A new day when our beautiful planet is in harmony - an image that fills my heart and connects my consciousness to the core of our world that is clearly seeking balance.

As our earth seeks resonance, let us all do the same. It is our divine right to re-align in harmony, allowing health, wellness and joyfulness to take place.

The healing power of sound has never been easier to experience. Sounds True has put the best of the best together with this collection. Before exploring these six sound engineers a part of this set, let's look a little deeper into Sound & Vibration Therapy ...

Universal Law: Light, Sound and Vibration

Sound therapy can be simply be described as a noninvasive, energy-based, alternative health approach to wellness.Vibration is a primary force in the Universe and the basis of sound therapy. Vibrational healing is nothing new and revolutionary, as it has been practiced in many forms all over the world for thousands of years.

To begin, everything has frequency and vibration - everything. Everything in the universe is energy. Nothing is really solid, although it may appear so. Rather everything in our world is made up of microscopic particles vibrating at such a fast rate that they appear solid. This is true for living and non-living items alike. Everything is alive with tiny particles of life that are in a constant moving state, creating vibration. This is the Law of Vibration, a law of nature that states that nothing rests, everything moves; everything vibrates.

If there is a vibration, you can be sure that it is creating its own unique sound. The very core of the being is a vibration. Even our thoughts have a vibration. When we think we are sending out a sound. It is possible to increase the speed at which the molecules in our bodies vibrate, through our thoughts of love, joy and gratitude.

Our emotions actually effect the shape of our DNA. We can also think our self into an illness. When we think, which is a sound, it resonates the frequency around us to our "thinking" sound. The mind is a tool of the soul. Do not get the two confused. Another aspect of dis-ease (meaning disharmony in the body or illness) occurs when the mind and the soul are in conflict with one another.

Sound has the power to heal. Sound can transform physical matter. Sound can raise vibrations and therefore bring the body back into a healthy harmony. Interesting, isn't it? We are all powerful co-creators of our reality. Healing is possible, but you first must welcome it. In order to heal you must allow yourself to do so. So give yourself permission right now to do so. Repeat and affirm the following statement three times, "I love and respect myself. I welcome healing to take place".

The Collection

The Sound Healing Collection brings together leading musicians in the field of sound and frequency healing: Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, David, Ison, Steven Halpren, Ph.D., Dr. Joseph Nagler, Sylvia Nakkach, and Life in Balance. Listening to healing sounds, vibrations and music can have dramatic results, and all you have to do is listen. An intention of healing with the energy of love helps the process along. This six CD set has a style that will resonate with everyone, six hours of inspiring, relaxing and healing music. Each CD offering its own special blend of healing magic.

Music For Brainwave Massage

The first CD is entitled "Music For Brainwave Massage", by Dr. Jeffrey D. Thompson, D.C., B.F.A.. This album is actually intended to to alter brainwave function and states of consciousness. Embedded sound frequency patterns, altering right and left signals and primordial sounds of nature work in harmony with a talented musician and composer. He is recognized as a worldwide expert in the field of brainwave entrainment frequencies incorporated into musical sound tracks. Mr Thompson has established a method for using modulated sound-pulses for Brainwave Entrainment intent with changing states of consciousness for healing the mind, body and spirit.

This is one of my favorite discs in the collection. I never "tire" of listening to it and can easily play it for weeks at a time, without intermission. It puts me in a good moon ... I mean mood ... and keeps me there, feeling warm, focused, calm, cool and collected. One of my favorite CD's of this collection, I never take it out of the ten disc player.

Relax

The second CD, "Relax", by David Ison is one of the more emotional moving pieces, for myself anyhow. It tends to trigger highs and lows, even exposing great sadness and sensitivities at times.
David Ison is internationally recognized as a pioneer in extending the healing effectiveness of sound, meditation and self realization. He is a musician, composer, mediation teacher, published author, the creator of the Musical Body, The Harmonizer and the Ison Method, along with dozens of other transformational musical programs.

After a serious car accident Ison was injured so bad that he broke his back and was unable to walk. Intent on healing himself, David refused pain killers and surgery, instead using an energy-based meditation technique to slow down his breathing to create a deep state of relaxation and then to direct his body’s vital force to the injured areas of his body. He walked out of the hospital, inspired to create transformational musical tools that would create the same kind of deep benefits he experienced while recovering.

Music For Healing MInd, Body & Spirit

Lucky number three is entitled, "Music For Healing MInd, Body & Spirit", by Steven Halpern, Ph.D. This CD takes me to distant galaxies, visions of dancing on keyboard synthesizers while waves of light are emitted from frequencies that sound almost too good for the human ear to hear. If the speakers are up high enough I can feel some of these notes in my teeth ...

Steven Halpern, Ph.D is an award-winning composer, speaker, recording artist, author and producer. He has been named by Keyboard magazine as "one of the 10 most influential keyboard artists of the past 50 years." Steven discovered secrets of combining ancient sound healing traditions with quantum biology and energy medicine to produce recordings that present the proper vibrations, supporting deep levels of healing by employing the mind and body's wisdom and genetically programmed ability to heal itself.

Music for Rejuvenation

Another emotional stirring CD in this collection, "Music for Rejuvenation", by Dr. Joseph Nagler is the fourth album of this "collection of the brightest six." This is actually one of my least favorite's of the set, and although it begins with a bit of an emotion kick, I find myself turning it off by the time track three rolls around. I certainly do not plan on listening to this album as much as the others, if at all. It is too "brassy" for my taste. It also has moments of uncomfortable sadness and emotional, whining piano and violin that pours from the speakers, making it difficult for me to listen to.

Joseph Nagler, D.A., C.M.T. received his doctorate in music therapy and is currently a Professor of Music at Queensborough Community College. He is an author, music therapist, musician and researcher. He is currently researching the use of music to promote language development with autistic children.

Inside

The fourth disc, "Inside", by Silvia Nakkach, has been a resident in my ten disc player for months now. I cannot get enough of it. It feels healing listening to the beautiful melodies, vocals and acoustic textures. This is by far my favorite of the entire collection. Shamanic and multi-cultural influences are woven together with the sacred voice of Silvia in the spotlight. This deeply healing, world music score is graceful, spiritual and heart touching. A penetrating album that encapsulates the essence of a true healer, a natural healer. Centered and relaxed, I immediately feel at peace with myself, my world and God. Silvia has a voice that is angelic, healing, elegant, soul-soothing and heart opening. Her heart pours with emotion, yet she sings with control, strength, poise and inner balance. Truly a work of art ...

Silvia Nakkach,M.A.,M.M.T. Is an award-winning composer, a former music psychotherapist, educator, singer, author, multi-instrumentalist and voice-culturist. She has been a pioneer in the field of sound and transformation of consciousness and is a recognized authority on the healing power of voice, music and sound. She is the founding director of The Vox Mundi School, an international project devoted to teaching and preserving indigenous musical traditions and combining service, spiritual practice and music.

Crystal Bowl Meditation

Sixth and final disc of this Ambient, healing collection is "Crystal Bowl Meditation" by Life In Balance. This is another favorite in the the collection. The Life In Balance pair are pioneers in ambient and trance-inducing electro-acoustic music. This touring duo, husband and wife team - Amin and Steve Sciulli, create a hypnotic, textured sound that is easy to relax and meditate to. The music has a magical sound, blending golden sparkling, pixie dust as it touches our dimension, alchemy, crystals and bells. The vibrational force causes my speakers to rattle at times. The work of Life In Balance is impressive, as they use ten crystal bowls in this album to create the sacred healing sounds. I enjoyed watching them on you tube, as I have never witnessed crystal bowls being played with such beauty. The music touches me different, after seeing them in action.

Life In Balance merging sacred instruments and modern instruments. Ami and Steve Sciulli are sacred sound healing musicians who use quartz crystal bowls and electronically enhanced world flutes to create an environment for healing, expansion, and relaxation. A national touring duo, Steve Sciulli and Ami Sciulli have played with Deepak Chopra, Krishna Das, Rusted Root and the Drepung Gomang Tibetan Monks.

Closing

If I had to pack light for a weekend trip ... or even a year, this collection would be traveling with me. I know I cannot go wrong with it, everyone loves it - everyone. Out of the entire six hours of music, there are only a few songs that I did not care for. It helps trigger the response of love and relaxation - a winning combo for an alchemical miracle to take place.

I love this CD set and my clients do too! It's great music for bodywork, meditation and relaxation. I highly recommend it. Remarkable experiences have been reported with the use of sound. You won't regret adding this set to your collection. For more information, please visit Sounds True.
