This CD, 'Sound Journey - Deep in the Cave', assists you in attaining deeply relaxed states of consciousness, accessing not only a meditative alpha state, but also a deeper, dreamy theta state--that place between waking & sleeping where the deepest cleansing, healing, and rejuvenation can take place. And for those who are sleep deprived, this CD is designed to draw you down deep enough that you can easily drop into sleep if needed (delta state). Barb Nichols is a massage therapist, sound healing practitioner, and musician on Whidbey Island in the State of Washington. Since 1990, she has been exploring and providing Sound Journey experiences for her clients and friends. She uses her massage sensitivity to masterfully blend the Sounds of Nature with the mesmerizing tones of Tibetan Singing Bowls, a Balinese Gong, windchimes, ocarinas, and many other deeply relaxing healing instruments. You are gently guided to a peaceful, soothing place in Nature, while riding on the beautiful tones and sounds. The Tibetan Singing Bowls & Balinese Gong are amazingly potent and magical--they're extremely effective in gently, yet persistently, enticing the mind & body to let go and surrender to the beauty of the moment. Mind chatter simply disappears while stress melts away in an effortless way. There are no words on this 69 minute CD--just profoundly beautiful tones, textures, and exquisite Sounds of Nature. Barb has received numerous glowing reviews from a wide spectrum of people who are discovering many creative ways to integrate this CD into their lives. There are those who are simply looking for a way to deeply relax after work and let go of daily stress, as well as those who are sleep deprived. This has had a huge calming effect on young children who need comforting, or those who are suffering with nightmares. Meditators, massage therapists, and yoga instructors find this provides a wonderful background for enhancing the experience they are providing for themselves and/or others. Overall, this Sound Journey experience provides a way to amplify the harmony frequencies in the body in a most delightful way, causing stress to melt away, bringing you back into a state of very deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and centeredness, where you can once again feel your true essence of peace, love & joy~~~.
