Cari's music is absolutely beautiful and uplifting. I like every song on the disc. Every time I listen to it, it rekindles every thing I've learned through The Four Agreements. She has a beautiful voice. A must have, especially if your into Don Miguels' work.

Listening to Cari's music lifts my heart and opens my voice to the sweetest and beautiful lyrics and feelings. Experiencing the words and the melody as it move over and through my body is tender and strong ... like the soft beat of a butterfly's wings. Cari's music just feels sooooo good!

Cari Cole's voice and music inspires me to dance my heart like an eagle soaring. I re-member my sense of my freedom and deep love each time I listen. Her message is one of healing for the planet and when listened to often can remind each one of us to pay attention to what's most important and have so much gratitude in our lives

I become intoxicated by the sounds of artists like Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin, Sinead O'Connor - and most recently Norah Jones. It is their ability to formulate a perfect balance of pop, rock, R&B, blues and/or jazz combinations that can mezmerize me for hours. Cari Cole is to be congratulated and added to this roster of amazing talent. It is true that The Circle of Fire is a celebration of the teachings of don Miguel Ruiz, author of the NY Times bestseller, The Four Agreements. It is equally true that the CD transcends its message to lead you on a musical journey that will transform you.

When I first heard this record played at my friend's house, I was blown away. I asked my friend to lend me the cd, but she laughed and said "no way, get your own. I don't wanna be without it!" Throughout the day I couldn't get the songs out of my head. I am so glad I found this cd.
Cari's vocals are stunningly beautiful. She sings very authentically with no hype , no gimmicks. The piano, guitars and drums are layered perfectly. They don't interfere with the power of her songs, but accent them tastefully. At first I wanted to listen to Heaven over and over again but after listening through the rest, i have to say they all are gems. It's amazing that the album doesn't have any radio play that i know of yet but just a word of mouth following.
The record is also recorded so well. The production and "sound" of the record is aesthetically drop dead gorgeous.
It not only inspires me vocally, musically and sonically, but I have found that the lyrics help me to rise above situations that normally get me down or frustrated. A must have!

The Circle of Fire CD has become my saving grace in bumper to bumper traffic jams (and anywhere else I get frazzled). Cari Cole's amazing vocals and lyrics instantly and effortlessly transport me to a place that is calm and relaxed, even during the most hectic days. If you want a a delightful way to center yourself and remember how wonderful life really is, then this CD is for you. It will take you to heaven.

This is absolutely a piece of jewel to keep. I do not understand why our pop culture do not play the music in regular radio channels (well, maybe I just have not listened to the radio enough). The songs Cari Cole sing in this album is something you enjoy when you re-listen. Cari Cole truly has a beautiful voice. For some people, singing the prayers sometimes help them experience the words in a more powerful way because it involves more senses. This album truly helps us to experience love and peace.

My favorites are "Whenever the Time is Now", "The Circle of Fire Prayer" and "The Lord's Prayer", though all others are wonderful as well. All songs are mellow yet suthing.

For "Whenever the Time is Now", I especially like the part about "Whoever you are is enough, Whatever you have is perfection, Whoever you are with is the one". These are the words we need to be reminded when turbulent times come when we always need to have more and better. For "The Circle of Fire", I will always remember the four words we want to bear in mind, which is gratitude, love, loyalty and justice... and these words begin with us.

Some songs are beautiful in melodies but not in words. However, these 10 songs are beautiful in melodies and artistic in words. May you experience love and peace while listening to this CD as well?

Life in general can pose some great challenges. No one is immune. It is always inspirational to 'witness' a human being who has managed to significantly transcend through years of hard work and self examination. Obviously the warrior within was not allowed to become lazy but rather gained in strength and clarity--to arrive at the point of giving. This is what I hear and what I have received through Cari's music.

At the time I purchased this CD, I was going through some difficult changes in my life. I listened to Cari's CD several times a day, for weeks. It reminded me of the "Beautiful Life" I was living which included the shifting structure. I would wake up in the middle of the night and I would hear myself, from with-in my dreams singing this healing music to myself. Cari's music is magic. Miguel Ruiz's insprition is alive...

Both Cari's voice and the instruments on this CD are pure and powerful- shamanic,religious,sweet,heart-opening and healing - combined with the beautiful healing messages of Don Miguel Ruiz. Will be using this CD for dance events and healing workshops. Here in Brazil,paid $10 customs fee on top of price for CD. That hurt until I listened - I would pay $300 for this CD if I had to!
