5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the most heart-soothing recording ever released, November 28, 2004

This review is from: The Divine Gypsy (Audio CD)

When this recording was first released on cassette in the 1980s, it quickly soared to the top of the charts at "alternative" distributors. Its delicate, ethereal sounds touched all who heard it. When it played in the background of our book shop or at a yoga class, everyone insisted on acquiring a copy. Energy-sensitive individuals would spontaneously comment on how they could feel first their heart centers opening and then the higher centers.

I do not know how much credit belongs to the sensitive arrangements by the (anonymous) musicians and how much belongs to subliminal effects impregnated in these melodies by Yogananda... but I found it one of the best ways to introduce people to music as a healing modality (through direct experience - not having to explain in words). One friend said he could always bring his blood pressure down 10-15 points at the end of work by sitting back and listening to a few tracks from Divine Gypsy.

For those of you who already have a copy, you might want to try listening through headphones. I was astonished the first time I did: the eyes insisted on closing themselves and were drawn upward toward the point between the eyebrows. The soothing sensations spread across the forehead and up over the scalp - a perfect antidote to a mentally hectic day!

1.0 out of 5 stars Dissappointed, March 20, 2007

This review is from: The Divine Gypsy (Audio CD)

I was expecting more from this cd. It is all keyboard piano sound and not very good sound at that. If one wanted to make music based on the piano, why would anyone bother with a pathetic keyboard. I suppose if one knows nothing of music this might be fairly interesting. I was more annoyed than relaxed when listening to the cd. I was hoping to find something soothing that I could listen to when I go into labor. I am glad I heard it before that time comes. I may have taken it and thrown it accross the room!
