5.0 out of 5 stars Well apart from anything tou could hear before..., November 30, 1998

According to Jhon Beaulieu, the body can be tunned like a musical instrument. After lisening with my soul this recording I definitely aggree with Mr Beaulieu. Definitely he knows what he is talking about... This album consists of the sounds of tunning forks but it is not "music" for entretaiment if you think so you will definitely be disappointed with this album. This CD is for cultivate true lisening to meditate and to help you recover your health. I have not found anything better to meditate. Thank you John for sharing your knowledge with us...

This is a wonderful CD if you are looking for something that will really help focus and clear your mind. It isn't music, but is rather a healing and centering experience.

I like to play the CD and absorb the sound waves! Great for anyone the least bit interested in the effect of sound vibration on the body. Listening to the CD, and feeling it will really help clear you out.

This review is from: Calendula: A Suite for Pythagorean Tuning Forks (Audio CD)

A few years ago I had the opportunity to experience an aura tuning using tuning forks. Having been a classical musician for 17 years, the pure tone of tuning forks had always seemed magical, and I was instantly fascinated by the concept of using tuning forks to tune the human body. Imagine my delight when I discovered this CD!

Though I only received my CD last night, I already love it. As soon as the first track began I felt transported into a world of sound and vibration reminiscent of my classical music days, but on a more esoteric level. The sounds seem to effortlessly penetrate into the deeper recesses of both mind and brain, touching your very core.

The first track, Harmonic Clouds, is aptly titled: a very meditative "floaty" piece, as if floating in clouds of pure sound. The Harmonic Dances (tracks 2-7) are tinkly and fairy-like glitterings of crystalline tone, like the lovely candle and gift shops my mother and I used to visit at Christmastime when I was a child. "Unison" takes the sound deeper, a feeling of being deep underwater, followed by eight tracks that are each an exploration of various musical intervals -- all of which seem to suspend time. The final track, Angelic Conversations, evokes a sense of sitting on a shady porch on a balmy summer day with a delicate breeze tickling the windchimes. Lovely!

As other reviewers have commented, this CD is not "music" per se. Rather it is a journey into the fascinating realm of pure sound, where the listener may enjoy a mystical sojourn into inner worlds more vast than can be seen by the mere human eye.
