5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for first rate relaxation and sleep!, June 5, 2005

This review is from: Brainwave Symphony (Box Set) (Audio CD)

These cds sound like simple classical music, but they do indeed assist you to enter different states of mind. For best effect, wear stereo headphones. But even without, you will find it easier to relax, sleep and meditate. If you don't like classical, the Brainwaves Suite has a new age/environmental sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the listen, October 16, 2004

This review is from: Brainwave Symphony (Box Set) (Audio CD)

My curiousity was well rewarded when I first listened to these four CDs. The symphonic music is seamlessly recorded, accented with tone notations that are easy on the ear and peaceful on the mind. This set is at the office, on the iPod and the home computer, and loaned to others on a regular basis. They have flavored prayer services and supported pastoral conversations. Make good presents, too. Worried about subliminal suggestion? Well, if clearer thinking and thoughtful reflection is subliminal thinking, then you will get the message each time you listen to these recordings. Other recordings by Dr. Thompson deliver just as these do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Took a nap during labor, January 16, 2007

By 

Proud mother (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brainwave Symphony (Box Set) (Audio CD)

I used the first CD in this collection (Alpha) to assist me during the labor and delivery of our daughter. I put it on our ipod and listened to it over and over during the labor process. I actually managed a light nap during active labor and had very little pain throughout the process. It that doesn't tell you that it keeps you relaxed and able to meditate, I don't know whatelse might convince you. The recording is great, the music lovely, and it does what it claims to do. I highly recommend it!
