I'm adding this since I was unable to understand how to edit my review of August 12, 2005 for this CD.

After writing my review for Creating Inner Peace and Calm by Glenn Harrold, I listened again to the entire CD and noticed that use of the music is more pervasive than I had thought. It is, however, very subtle and appropriate - not sickeningly sweet music that beckons to you to "relax already." More importantly, the music doesn't wear on you or sound sentimental. Also, there are subtle sound effects that enhance the relaxation experience. Creating Inner Peace and Calm is definitely a CD worth owning or buying as a gift for a loved one.

(1) Glenn Harrold (who has a pleasant English accent) speaks with the aplomb and control of a professional actor. Also, he is obviously a talented person with very high standards and impeccable integrity.

(2) Glenn Harrold (a professional musician and hpynotherapist) wrote, performed, and recorded all of the background music as well as the words in a completely integrated way.

(3) Use of music is very limited, coming near the beginning and end of two approximately 28 minute segments. Total time: about 59 minutes.

(4) The CD can be listened to as many times a day as you like, and you will still benefit and not be bored.

(5) The suggestions given, though some are lofty, seem eminently practical and make the CD an amazingly efficient use of your time. In other words, if you're going to spend time completely relaxing, why not be told things which will help you accomplish more with less effort during your regular activities - i.e. live a better life?

(6) The CD is designed to produce a feeling of inner peace and calm that will stay with you after the CD is finished. It achieves its goal.

(7) The suggestions are not obtrusive. If you've exhausted, you can still listen and benefit. He even tells you it's not necessary to pay conscious attention to his words.

I had bought Glen's CD - Guided Meditation a while back and loved it so much that I bought a couple more of his CD's. I listed to this on my IPOD during my lunch break and felt so peaceful, calm, and happy soon after. I came back to work and was very productive and focused yet calm. I really recommend this to anyone who wants to feel peace, happy, and positive.

I have one other Glenn Harrold CD on healing your body. I like this one on creating peace within during all these stressful world and local events. I like the second session on this CD as I really don't feel I need the long explanation he gives on abdominal breathing that is presented on the first of two relaxation sessions on this CD. His British accent is very soothing for me and most of the time I am sleeping before the completion of the talks.

This does work, it does calm and it helped get rid of jittery nerves. Great item.

Don't buy the download (of "Creating Inner Peace and Calm"). It comes from [...] and sounds watery and is in mono! These excellent Glenn Harrold self-hypnosis recordings rely heavily on directional effects. At least the refund was handled with a quick phone call.

Glenn Harrold has the perfect voice for meditation tapes. I love all his CD's.

When I read all the five star reviews, I knew I had to have this CD. But when I tried it out, I was a little disappointed. It did help me relax, so it does work. But I wasn't able to reach the same deep levels of peace and relaxation that I had gotten from another CD progam--The FAST Technique for Stress Relief by Dr. Ronald Nathan. (EXTREMELY relaxing and calming CDs by the way!)

Even though Creating Inner Peace and Calm wasn't as helpful as I had hoped, I will probably give it another try. I mean, it did have an effect. Maybe the results improve the more you use it.

Did it work?! Not sure....but forced me to rest and listen for a while which is not bad for a start

I tried every day for over a week to listen to this CD. I rarely got through the session without "popping out" because of something he said in his nasal tone of voice, or, worse, because of his occasional lapse into bad grammar.

I have several relaxation CDs that I love. I won't be going back to this one.
