Book Description
Sound therapy has been found effective in treating a surprising range of health challenges including heart disease, arthritis, stress, emphysema, and more. On Self-Healing with Sound and Music, bestselling author and physician Dr. Andrew Weil teams up with sound therapist Kimba Arem to offer listeners a powerful new tool for healing on two CDs.
On CD 1, Dr. Weil discusses the latest in medical research that demonstrates how music heals the body and mind. CD 2 gives listeners a complete "sound journey" into expanded states of consciousness optimized for healing. Through an integration of binaural beats, natural sounds, indigenous and classical instruments - and a state-of-the-art recording process called "holophonic technology" that creates a three-dimensional healing space - listeners experience "prescription strength music" with the power to influence every system of the body.
Customer Reviews:
Intellectually stimulating and relaxing.......2007-10-11
These two compliment one another in providing valuable information on the natural healing abilities sound current provides to listeners. I appreciate both Dr. Weil's and Kimba sharing their personal stories leading to their beliefs in sound as a tool for relaxation, expanding intelligence and creating space for healing in the mind and body.
Kimba offers a variety of instruments making the tracks quite different from one another. This musical experience takes you through the elements of nature. A few tracks have light, background chanting while most of the CD contains ambient instrumental sounds.
Soothing mind, soothing soul, opening heart........2007-09-13
When you play this CD you first notice that is speaks to your mind. Then you notice that it speaks to your soul and while soothing both mind and spirit. But what comes next is the real treat; it opens your heart and you expand to ride the vibrations of sound that Kimba has created for you. And it does feel like she composes and plays just for you. This is a must-have CD crafted by two very gifted teachers.

I use this CD all the time at work to help me get in the focus zone.
excellent.......2007-04-05
I like the fact it's a 2-part CD- one explaining the vibrations of musical tones and their relationship to the chakras and how binaural music works on the brain. The second CD/the music is excellent as well and I found it extremely relaxing, not distracting as other CD's that proclaim their ability to relax you when in fact your attention is too much on what you're hearing. You find yourself easing in to a deeper state of relaxation because of the music-not inspite of it.
outstanding.......2007-03-08
This cd is wonderful. Dr Weil has a very calming and soothing voice - I love it!!!
Book Description
One of the world's oldest unbroken spiritual traditions is that of the Bön people—the indigenous people of Tibet, whose teachings predate the arrival of Buddhism. These traditions have survived political persecution and upheaval thanks to the efforts of a handful of dedicated lamas such as Bön lineage holder Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. Now with Tibetan Sound Healing, practitioners can connect to the ancient sacred sounds of the Bön practice—and through them, activate the healing potential of the natural mind. The Bön healing tradition invokes The Five Warrior Syllables—"seed" sounds that bring us to the essential nature of mind and release the boundless creativity and positive qualities that are fundamental to our natural consciousness. Through the medicine of sound, practitioners learn to clear obstacles on the level of the body, the energetic and emotional dimensions of being, and the spiritual consciousness. Through this integrated book and CD learning program, Tenzin Rinpoche gives users the tools to access wisdom and compassion and use the vibration of sacred sound to cultivate the healing power within the body's subtle channels. Lama and Bön meditation master Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is renowned for his gift of rendering ancient texts in a warm and clear way to his Western readers. With Tibetan Sound Healing, he reveals the secrets of Bön sacred syllables and invites us to join him in sound to purify the body, connect with our inherent perfection and completeness, and to awaken spiritual virtue.

Powerful but simple sound healing tools for everyone.......2007-09-11
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche invites the reader into the realm of sound healing in the Tibetan Bon Buddhist tradition via the Five Warrior Syllables and the Tsa Lung Exercises. The combination of text and CD meditations aid the reader, especially one new to sound healing, to readily duplicate the sacred sounds while visualizing the intended effects of the sounds. The sounding of the Five Warrior Syllables in conjunction with their accompanying meditations aims straight at one's inner core and energetic channels. Their use clears mental, emotional and physical blockages and opens the energetic channels. As a result, one's true inner nature reveals itself and at the same time impacts the world at large. These Tibetan Bon seed syllables are powerful but simple tools to include in an ongoing sound healing practice or for introducing beginners to the healing benefits of incorporating sound into their daily life.
This book teaches an active form of Tibetan healing with sound meditation.......2007-05-07
One can use the "Five Warrior Syllable" sounds and other sound meditation techniques taught in this book-with-CD for healing, to clear internal blocks your life,and to manifest realistic action steps to create change in your life.
By doing this daily practice, spiritual life and daily life are not kept separate, but form one transparent circle of doing and being.
I am new at practicing this active meditation, using the instructions in the book-and-audio CD (included), supported by my teacher Gabriel Rocco, a senior student of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.
I find this daily practice powerful for me in making concrete action changes in the way I live my life, and healing (not curing) my experience with cancer.
You do not have to be Buddhist to understand or make use of the valuable sound meditation practice.
The author is a teacher in the Bon tradition of Buddhism, with a Center near Charlottesville, Virginia. They offer teaching workshops.
Tibetan Sounds for Life.......2007-03-09
Since I bought this item I have used it often for meditation and found it extremely helpful. It is easy to follow, it shuts off the thinking mind and there is a refreshed feeling afterwards. I had several friends listen to the CD and they were delighted with it. They have now decided to get it and to use it as their main meditation method. When I bought it even though I have meditated for years I knew nothing about the chakras. This gives one an experiential understanding of the chakras and helps one to open oneself up to the special experience. I absolutely recommend it for the beginner or the advanced meditation student.
Transformative practices.......2007-01-17
having practiced the methods in this book for some time it is fantastic to finally to have the support here with me to use anywhere any time. I highly reccomend doing the practices in this book.
Book Description
Every life form is made up of vibrations that coincide with the harmonic frequency to which all life is attuned. The vibrations of the body easily go out of tune when a person is exposed to physical or emotional stress. VIBRATIONAL HEALING THROUGH THE CHAKRAS provides the most up-to-date information on the use of vibrational tools such as crystals, aromas, sounds, bodywork, and homeopathy to help the body remember its own healthy harmonic resonance. Author Joy Gardner offers this in-depth look at vibrational healing for people interested in improving their own health and well-being, as well as those who want to become practitioners of this gentle art. Explore how to use vibrations to release old dysfunctional patterns in the body-mind and replace them with new patterns that resonate with the body's own healthy frequencies.
Customer Reviews:
Vibrational healing through the chakras.......2007-10-04
Great book. You need to own this book. Gardner has really done her homework. I was amazed how much info is in this book. I actually started in the middle of the book, read a few chapters and now I have started from the front. I have learned a lot of new things, and things I didn't even think about. The only thing I disagree on is where Gardner wrote about Sundances. Perhaps the dances she has been to do no pierce but I have seen piercing and know many who do pierce. Other than that the book in a AA+ in my book. You will not be disappointed in the book.
Packed with Info.......2007-09-06
This book is loaded with very useful information. I've referred several people to it for a variety of reasons.
It is sort of a clearing house for a number of healing modalities so it's useful as an overview. It doesn't offer in-depth information on any of the subjects covered, but has many references for further reading and research.
I would catagorize this book as a starting point if one is wanting to learn about healing with light and color, sound, crystals or aromatherapy.
Best Book EVER in Vibrational Energy.......2006-11-12
This is a all in one compendium of Vibrational Energy healing techniques. The author has a candid way to relate emotional defiant feelings and also reviews all the technical knowledge behind the facts in a "oh so simple language". I've already recommended it to 4 other friends (2 of which are healers). I love this book and I love you Joy!!!!
Thank you giving us as a gift, a share of your knowledge!!!
Vibrational Healing.......2006-04-25
Joy Gardner does not just write about the various healing modalities - she has spent a lifetime working with them. Vibrational Healing Through the Chakras is the result of Gardner's years of study, steadfast research, and working with her clients. An open mind, and an open heart, have served her well on her journey, which has included work as an herbalist, crystal healer, death and loss counselor, sound and aromatherapy healer.
Gardner starts out by stating that all of life - animate and inanimate - is, by nature, vibration. The human body is made up of a series of frequencies that form a harmonic and balanced whole when a person is healthy. Physical or emotional stress alters the bodies vibrational nature. The nature of vibrational healing is to help the body remember its healthy vibrational state. Healers use a combination of modalities to help their clients understand the underlying cause of their dis-ease, to release the energies that need to be released, and to realign their energy bodies.
Our chakra system acts as the "control center" for our energy systems. When the chakras are balanced, our bodies experience their natural harmonic resonance, and we experience a state of good health. The ideal is for all seven chakras to be open and balanced, with no one chakra operating in an "in charge" mode, unless it was so indicated (and this would be for a limited time period). Gardner presents excellent background information on vibrational therapy, including work by people like Nobel biochemist Ilya Prigogine, neurophysiology and psychology teacher Dr. Valerie Hunt.
It is interesting to read Gardner's discussion of the chakra system, which can be found incorporated into many different cultures. Reading this book was like taking a walk back in time for me, with names like Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Barbara Ann Brennon and other researchers/healers peppering the pages. The placement of the chakras, the parts of the body that they govern, their spinning nature and color associations are all presented in a very straightforward manner.
Each modality is covered in its own section, for easy reference. In the section on light, color and frequencies Gardner begins with the statement that every sound we hear is filter through the three primary sounds of our nerves, muscles and blood. Everything that we see is filtered through our personal electromagnetic aura. There is an excellent in depth section presented on the electromagnetic spectrum, and how it functions. One of the things that I found very interesting in this chapter was how important sunlight is to us, and how important it is to not wear any form of glasses when we are in sunlight, unless we must. Cellular response to both light and color is also addressed here.
In the section on color, Gardner begins by commenting on the ability of color to bring joy into our lives. (Conversely, in the well documented area of SAD, lack of sunlight has been shown to have the ability to bring on depression.) Color healing has as its goal the strengthening of each color in our aura. Working with color-charged water (something so simple that I had never even heard of, or thought of!), and the use of specific colors in specific areas of the face (which acts as a microcosm of the body) are only a couple of the ways that Gardner presents for placing color in our lives.
Healing with voice (sound) is something that I have worked with myself, and was one of my favorite chapters. Mystics from many cultures agree upon the absolute power of sound. Sound has a very spiritual connotation - it carries the history of a people through their song and dance, a venue that to our discredit we are allowing to fade away. Toning, sounding, or what is termed the "primal scream" is on way of releasing bent-up energy from our bodies (energies that are being held in our muscles and bones). Through systematic abdominal breathing, we can easily clear and ground our systems. I am definitely a chart person, and there is an excellent chart at the end of this chapter associating the seven chakras with specific colors, notes and tones.
In the section on aromatherapy, Gardner goes into the spiritual and magical uses of aromas, such as burning incense or wearing perfume. Essential oils carry specific frequencies, which can be used as aids in healing. One of the things that I appreciated about this chapter was the precautions about the use of essential oils - how to best use them, and when not to use them. Recipes are given for creating oils for specific use, such as the prevention of fleas in animals and the removal of odors, as well as for healing.
In the section on healing with crystals, Gardner goes into the spiritual and cultural use of crystals, which include healing as well as acting as carriers for wisdom. (In my practice as a Tarot reader, I have my clients hold rose quartz crystal during their readings. It acts to open their hearts to the reading, it acts to protect them, and to carry the wisdom from the reading home with them.) I loved the lists that were presented for building a Beginners Kit, and a Crystal Healer's kit. There is also a common sense view on cleaning/clearing crystals, and their use as jewelry (with some interesting indications on when NOT to wear certain stones). Basic layouts are presented for working with clients and crystals for healing/balancing, and with crystals in association with specific chakras.
At the end of the book is a comprehensive glossary and recommended reading list.
Between the hard line research presented here, and the stories Gardner shares from her own life, and from her clients lives, this is an excellent book. A good place to start when investigating vibrational healing, and a good book to have for reference purposes. Students of all levels will find this material interesting, and easy to place into use in their lives.
Book Description
Many excellent books teach God's principles of finance. Perhaps one or more of them has helped you lay a strong biblical foundation for carrying out your money management responsibilities. But as you try to apply those principles to making real-life investing decisions, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by jargon and the sheer number of investment possibilities.
Sound Mind Investing is a carefully created "next step" guide that helps you put Godly principles of finance in motion. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced investor, you'll benefit from stepping across this bridge between "theory" and "action". Each user-friendly lesson is written in everyday English and filled with helpful visual aids.
The first edition of Sound Mind Investing was a Gold Medallion Book Award finalist in 1994, and won the endorsements of such respected Christian teachers as Larry Burkett, Ron Blue, Adrian Rogers, Charles Stanley, and others.
This book can help you chart your financial future by using the same concepts that have made Austin's newsletter America's best-selling investment newsletter written from a biblical perspective. Whether you invest a little or a lot, these biblical principles apply to you. In short, he's made learning about investing as painless as it's going to get.
Customer Reviews:
Still a Good Source of Financial Advice.......2006-08-14
Yes, things have changed in financial investing since the book was published in 1993. However, the practical biblical wisdom is still appropriate.
Among the investing that still apply today that Austin Pryor mentions include:
1. A Biblical Blueprint for Building Your Financial House on Solid Rock.
2. Investing That Glorifies God and Values His Majesty.
3. Investing That Glorifies God and Builds His Kingdom.
4. Investing That Glorifies God and Upholds His Righteousness.
5. Investing That Glorifies God and Seeks His Wisdom.
6. Investing That Glorifies God and Enjoys His Blessings.
Again, while investing has changed some since the book was published around 13 years ago, the biblical principles mentioned in the book are still relevant and will still be years down the road.
Read and heed the wisdom found in this book. Recommended.
Managing Money with a Sound Mind.......2003-02-18
In the foreward of the third edition of "Sound Mind Investing", Larry Burkett writes "...I endorse the integrity and honesty of Austin Pryor. Obviously you, the reader, must evaluate his advice yourself. No one individual has the right advice for everyone, and anyone can, and will, be wrong in the changing economy we live in. But if you will spend the time to read carefully the counsel Austin provides in this book, you will find it both time and money well spent."
I agree wholeheartedly. After having read numerous introductory texts on money-management from a Christian perspective, this book is the most comprehensive and readable text of the lot.
Austin's book is divided into 6 Sections:
1) Getting Debt-free. The author considers this the first level of financial fitness, an equivalent of laying a proper foundation upon which to build. At this early point in the text, he discusses the importance of tithing in your plan. Austin writes "we are not commanded to give generously. Rather, our giving is a test of sincerity of our love and our willingness to trust in God's utter faithfulness" (based upon 2Cor 8:8,9:8). Austin goes on to say "When you pray about your giving, may I encourage you to give to the full measure of your gratitude and cheerfulness. And continue to ask God to enlarge your heart toward Him so you can eagerly embrace the sacrifice needed to give all the more."
In addition, budgeting as well as the dangers associated with the misuse of credit cards are discussed.
2) Saving for Future Needs. This includes the principles of saving money in a secure, low-risk emergency fund (financial planners recommend 3 to 6 months living expenses; Austin recommends $10,000) as well as in an accumulation fund for big-ticket items that you anticipate purchasing within 1 to 5 years. He also includes advice on preparing to help your children to finance their college or technical education. He believes that, if parents have the financial means, they should consider helping with the expenses of a college education for their children. Emphasis is given to the benefits of investing for your children's education as early as possible. Powerful examples are given. Note that Austin believes that children should be responsible for a portion of their educational expenses as well. Advice on where to invest this money is given, including but not limited to Ed IRAs and 529 plans.
3) Investing Your Surplus. Once you are debt-free and have adequate savings in an emergency fund, the author believes you can then begin to take educated risks by investing your surplus in mutual funds. This section is a primer on investment basics and mutual funds.
4) Diversifying for Safety. Austin is a strong proponent of building an age-appropriate,diversified portfolio through mutual fund investing. For the typical investor, he advocates "dollar-cost-averaging" or "value-averaging" strategies versus market-timing strategies, although he does admit venturing into market-timing strategies in his personal investment approach (He did this professionally in the past, but does not recommend market-timing for the average investor. Reasons are given). This book includes a short quiz that enables the reader to see what their personal tolerance is for investment risk. Once you determine your tolerance level, Austin leads you through determining your appropriate portfolio mix and shows you how your mix should change as you go through the various financial stages of your life.
5) Retirement Countdown. Austin wants his readers to have a realistic view of their needs for retirement. He discusses how to properly lower your investment risk as retirement approaches.
6) Investing that Glorifies God. The book ends with a section entitled "Investing that Glorifies God, a Biblical Blueprint for Building Your Financial House on Solid Rock". This section is priceless. Austin essentially reminds the reader of the importance of an eternal perspective, and that our investing should glorify God by acknowledging His sovereignty, valuing His majesty, building His Kingdom, upholding His righteousness, seeking His wisdom, and enjoying His blessing.
Please consider the counsel given in this book. I have and it has changed my financial life.
Highly Recommended.......2001-07-18
This is an awesome book! It is helpful for the beginner as well as someone who already has a "foundational" knowledge of finance. It is easy to read and understand and yet gives you a wealth of information. I read it cover to cover and even now often find myself using it as reference for making financial decisions. A must have for anyone interested in getting their financial house in order in a manner that is honoring to God. Worth every penny and more!
Sound Mind Investing is great.......2001-07-07
After trying to invest on my own,with mixed results; I've come to have a real admiration for the years of solid experience and great insight in Sound Mind Investing. The market perspective, great research and wonderful world view rate this book tops for me.
SOUND MIND INVESTING HAS HELPED OUR FAMILY.......2001-07-02
Austin Pryor teaches all of the basics of investing in this one book. The principles he teaches have already helped me. I trust his wisdom and knowledge. This book is well worth the money you'll spend for it.

Book Description
"Sound is more than simply a medium of artistic expression. Sound has practical and powerful applications in the real world."
Mantras, or simple chants, are short phrases packed with energy and intention--specifically designed to generate powerful sound waves that promote healing, insight, creativity, and spiritual growth. Healing Mantras is the practical, how-to guide that makes the strengths and benefits of mantras available to everyone. The transformative power of sound has been passed down to the present from the sages of India, the classical scientists of ancient Greece, and the medieval monks of Europe. Mantras, sounds, and chants have inspired, comforted, and mended the lives of individuals, religious orders, and even entire cultures. Even though the science and discipline of chanting and formal prayer are practiced in every religion around the world, this is the first time that ancient Sanskrit mantras have been explained and adapted to Western needs.
One of the few Western experts in Hindu and Buddhist mantras, Thomas Ashley-Farrand has practiced mantra-based spiritual disciplines for twenty-five years. In this illuminating book, he explains how and why mantras work and shows how to use them for everything from controlling habits to overcoming fear, from curing specific ailments to finding inner peace. In each of the more than fifty mantras, all translated from the original Sanskrit, Ashley-Farrand unlocks the power of every word, explains its appropriate application, and tells you how to pronounce it in easy-to-follow phonetic symbols. Inside, you'll find mantras for
- Health - Worldly Success - Habit Control - Protection - Grief - Anger - Controlling Fear - Personal Attraction - Wisdom - Concentration and Mental Clarity - Healing Life Issues - and more!
These mantras can be repeated aloud or in silence and can be used by people of any religion or spiritual practice, "as you wash dishes, as you drive on the freeway, as you meditate, or as you cook." Sound can help and sound can heal, and Healing Mantras now makes this sound medicine available to everyone.
Customer Reviews:
The world is sound - .......2007-04-04
This book offers a wonderful view into the world of using sound to heal the body, mind, and soul. It provides an excellent foundation for understanding the power of mantras.
When I purchased this book (about four years ago), I had a lot of problems with my eyes. I used to get ulcers on my cornea, and no doctors were able to explain why this happened. I discovered a mantra in this book, dedicated to healing the eyes. After practicing this mantra for a few weeks, my eyes began to feel better. After a few months, my eye doctor was suprised to find a noticeable improvement in my eyesight. Since practicing this mantra, I've only experienced one more corneal ulcer (about two years ago).
Since then, I've incorporated many of the mantras found in this book into my daily life.
Peace be with you! Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti!
Good book to keep in handy.......2007-01-05
A good book for those who interested in transcendental meditation. It explains very well about the using of mantra.
A Phenomonal Book.......2006-10-20
This book is a vault of wisdom. The author has made the intricate mantra work, easily understood in a profound way. I have searched long and hard to understand the use of mantras, encountering little more than a brick wall time and time again, in my search. This author has taught me not only how to climb the wall, but to walk through it. A commendable book, that I recommend to all, with great excitement.
TWO WORDS: THIS WORKS!!!.......2006-09-24
I used the Lakshmi (for prosperity) and Ganesha (for removal of obstacles) mantras from this book to help me find a job. My unemployment benefits were about to run out and I wasn't finding anything. Despite no background in the industry I am now in, on the 40th (the last) day of my practice, I was hired in an entry level position that will soon lead to more money. Previously, I was getting second interviews, but losing out to other people with more experience.
There is nothing in my resume to suggest that I had an office background or barely even computer skills. I am looking to take a class and explained that in the cover letter and interview. Yet the woman who interviewed and hired me, for some reason, thought I had an extensive background in both! I can't help but feel that the mantras helped me overcome this significant barrier hiring-wise. Now I am using a Saraswati mantra from the book to help me with the learning curve of my new job and another mantra from the book for self confidence and strength which feels VERY powerful and I only just today starting using it. [I also improved my chances of getting hired by scheduling my interviews when the moon was NOT "void of course." See Jim Maynard's Celestial Guides or other resources to know when this is.]
I feel I am only just scratching the surface of what this book can help me do in a variety of areas of my life. I read all kinds of metaphysical books and try to adjust my thinking, but find it hard to break old habits of being fearful or limited in my thinking. What I love about this book is this: it gives you something concrete to DO everyday, twice a day that seems to work, regardless. I spent $13 on a mala to help me count my mantra repetitions and probably did only about 20 minutes of work twice a day. If I had done even more, I think my outcome would have been even better. Yet, from where I started, this is a huge victory for me.
As the author of the book states, mantras don't take the place of, in my case, doing the usual job search actions. However, there is no doubt in my mind that using mantras made all the difference in the outcome. It even, I think, steered me around a deceptive, (what I thought was a) sure-thing job with another company. It turned out that they had gone through five people in a very short time in the position. Not a good sign. I'll leave the descriptions of this book to other reviewers. What I wanted to know when I was deciding to get this book and looking at people's reviews of it was what their outcomes of doing the mantras were. I hope mine will help others to get this book and take this fantastic journey!
The power of the Word........2006-08-16
I attended one of Mr. Thomas Ashley-Farrand meetings in Los Angeles and was impressed by his humble (esoterically speaking) way to communicate his truth. I read the book, Healing Mantras: Using Sound Affirmations for Personal Power, Creativity, and Healing, and started using the mantras immediately in my service to humanity, the result is amazing. I have all the books, I practice chanting mantras regularly, and I can see the miracles with my own eyes.
Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha was my key.

Book Description
Volume One opens with Dr. Chopra discussing how language shapes material reality, influencing our beliefs and behavioral responses. He continues with a reading of sacred verses taken from The Bhagavad Gita, providing context and interpretation for contemporary listeners. The ancient verses provide knowledge and clarity — their power evoked through the very sounds of the words themselves. As one listens closely to the verses, their insights, intuitions, and physiological responses are revealed, bestowing peace, harmony, love, and healing. In Volume Two, Chopra reads a selection from the Vedas, the ancient collection of Sanskrit hymns and prayers. The Rig Veda is a classic Indian scripture filled with praise to the gods, the elements, and the bounty of the earth. Beginning with the hymn of creation and ending with the hymn of immortality, he takes listeners on an unforgettable journey across the vast expanse of consciousness.

Fantastic AudioBook! .......2007-06-27
This AudioBook is great! Inspirational, Soothing, and Informative! I have listened to this set a number of times, always finding something new. Deepak Chopra is a true master of pen and spirit.
Meditation Intro.......2007-05-13
If you're practicing Transcendental Meditation and have gone to a few lectures on TM, maybe even a residence course or two, you've probably been introduced to the Bhagavad Gita. Deepak tells the story of Arjuna and the conflict facing him as he goes to the battle field, the role of Krishna and ties this all together in a profound revelation of what the transcendent field is. It is an excellent refresher of some of the lectures given by Maharishi. Of course, Maharishi conveys the story from a different level of consciousness, the God level. Deepak tells the story more from the "awake" field of consciousness which is effective for non-meditators. He conveys the deeper meaning behind the stroy to great effect nevertheless. The means soooo much more, however, if you learn the practice of TM. This reading is also good for sidhas too as Deepak also brings out some pointers for this practice as well. This is also an excellent CD even if you'r not a practicing TMer. Deepak teaches meditation to the listener by using the breath as a mantra. The only drawback is the background sitar music. It's ok just for the first few times, but Deepak should say that in actual practice, the only condition for meditation is practicing it in silence.
This is a Monumental Work of Beauty, Grace, Joy, Truth.......2005-08-18
Wow. This has to be one of the most important things I will have ever heard and I recommend it for these features ...
1 - Dr. Chopra explains how language is the vibrational dynamic that brings the unmanifest into form
2 - The music of India is beautiful and moving as it interweaves his speaking and reading
3 - He explains how the Gita (Song of God) in whichever language we are hearing it can raise our vibration or growth rate or consciousness - however to say that I am not sure - can enhance our spiritual progress, yes that's it, just by the very words that contain sacred intention and sacred sound ... in any language ... and he explains why ...
4 - Then he reads and comments upon the Gita in a way that only a greatly awakened god-realized soul can do ... and as he does this, he makes the story fit our lives as it was always meant to do ...
5 - He shares some of the ancient hymns and myths that were handed down orally for thousands of years before written language ... in doing so, he brings into present time the great beauty faith devotion and healing intentions of the ancient seers or rishis of India ... and really, it's good enough for goose bumps and tears ...
I cannot thank him enough for doing this ... it's a work that I found once on tapes, part of this three CD set, and thought it was very beautiful ... those old tapes were lost and recently I remembered the effect they had ... of raising my vision to the beauty and truth of our lives ... each and every one of us ...
There's a fabulous line that comes up a couple of times ... the saint and the sinner are just exchanging notes ... the saint has sinned and the sinner will be saintly and I don't need the burden of judgment ...
Right on ...
Beautifully done...Highly recommended.......2004-09-24
Listening to Deepak Chopra's resonating voice, accompanied by subtle background Indian sitar music, is a healing experience. Also, his brief explanations of the verses is illuminating. I find I frequently play the CDs while working or resting. It is even relaxing to play while cooking :-).
I first checked this out as a tape set from the library. It was so wonderful that I bought my own copy on CD. It starts out with an interesting lecture on the use of language and how the Bhagavad Gita is constructed such that listening to the verses raises healing.

Best fitness/nutrition book I have read.......2006-08-06
I have found this book to be the best on the market when you want quality information concerning nutrition and exercise. I have highlighted so many pages to reference back to. David goes into detail on so much plus there are color pictures. I also purchased his book The Ultimate New York Body Plan but found this one more practical and attainable in reaching my goals. After reading this I can see why he is known as a fitness guru, and this book has sound advice that can be beneficial to attaining a better body!
Good Program.......2006-07-25
This is a good program for people who want to get in and stay in shape without spending half of their life at the gym. You do need to spend some time building your own program sheets using the info in the book. I also bought his "Ultimate New York Body Plan" (it reflects on my obsessive streak that I'd buy both!)and I think that program would be difficult to implement for most ordinary mortals. Buy this one!
Great muscle toning/sculpting book!.......2005-07-20
There are plenty of basic and advanced versions of exercises divided by body part. The book has many pictures that clearly illustrate the exercises. There are plenty of body weight exercises, as well as with weights. I found this book to be very helpful in creating an exercise program!
Perfect.......2004-09-21
There's a reason why Heidi Klum and other supermodels seek David out for his training skills. He not only focuses on the physical and nutritional elements to fitness, but also the mind and motivation. It's like having your own personal trainer right in your home and for much less money!
Just what my body needed.......2004-09-13
I am a fitness freak and a fitness and dance instructor. I am always looking for a new way to challenge my body and take it to new extremes. This book really gave me an understanding of what I need to do to take my body and its strength to the next level. It is comprehensive and easy to understand. I reccommend this book to all my friends and anyone who is looking for a good fitness trainer but don't have the money for a live one, whether you are just starting out or you are stuck in a rut. He has developed workouts that fit your body type too, which makes it even more of an ideal workout because you can zone in on slimmming your trouble spots.
Book Description
Schafer contends that we suffer from an overabundance of acoustic information and explores ways to restore our ability to hear the nuances of sounds around us. This book is a pioneering exploration of our acoustic environment, past and present, and an attempt to imagine what it might become.

The most important book on sound in 150 years........2005-03-12
When R. Murray Schafer first published TUNING OF THE WORLD (the subtitle of this edition) in 1977, it had a stunning and lasting affect on musicians and recordists throughout the world. Every facet of this work is important to know about and the narrative still reads like a contemporary novel - impossible to put down and never dated. He informs us how to re-train our ears to listen better and more wisely. He defines, for the first time, the soundscape and the myriad ways it fits into and affects our lives.
This book is seminal to my work as a naturalist and sound designer and I have read it many times in the past three decades. It is that important.

Book Description
Since 1991, Dr. Mitchell Gaynor has been achieving remarkable results by integrating music, vocalization, breathing, and meditation techniques in his work with patients. In The Healing Power of Sound, he presents his sound-based techniques for self-healingâtechniques that anyone can use, whether faced with a life-threatening disease or simply seeking relief from the stresses of daily life. Numerous studies have demonstrated the health benefits of music: it can lower blood pressure and heart and respiratory rates; reduce cardiac complications; increase the immune response; and boost our natural opiates. Gaynor shows how, when integrated as part of a mind-body-spirit approach to wellness, music can play a significant part in maintaining a healthy lifestyle or in healing serious disease. The Healing Power of Sound includes twelve exercises involving breathing, meditation, and "toning"âusing pure vocal sound to resolve tension, release emotion, and spur the healing processâthat can be used by anyone to improve health and quality of life.

I bought this book after reading about it in the New York Times on Thanksgiving. I can understand through the amazing stories and techniques that the power of sound can be used every second of every day. Dr. Gaynor's book changed my life.
Informative and Uplifting!.......2005-07-25
Written by an M.D., here is a wonderful example of how conventional medicine can be greatly enhanced and complemented by other modalities : and this specifically is a wonderful example of the healing power of sound and music.
Book Description
If you took your hands off the steering wheel of your life (or at least relaxed your grip a bit), what would happen? On Let Yourself Go, Arjuna Ardagh invites listeners to find out, as they discover how to identify and dissolve the hidden points of view that obscure the true nature of reality and the essence of what we are. The first full-length audio workshop from the author of The Translucent Revolution (New World Library, 2005), Let Yourself Go illuminates why all beliefs are "contractions in consciousness" that create the illusion of separation. It explores Unresisting Experience—a powerful technique for dismantling limiting belief structures, and how to surrender to a life beyond belief and open to "the wisdom of not knowing."
