3.0 out of 5 stars MORE MUSIC; LESS TALK, October 16, 2007

This review is from: Meditations & Music for Sound Healing: A Leading Oncologist Explores the Healing Power of Sound (Sound Medicine) (Audio CD)

When I started writing reviews, I deceided not to write reviews about books I didn't like. However for audios I use a more stringent approach, because once you walk out the door of the shop, you own the audio!

The contents (tracts) of the two CD's looked very interesting. But I found the meditations on CD1 to be too pedestrian. A larger disappointment occured for me with CD2. On this CD too many insturments were mixed in with chanting giving a "busy" feeeling to the pieces.

I do not critisize D. Gaynor personally. I found many interesting facts in his presentations and I like his concept of "entrainment". I believe he is sincere in his presentation. But the presentations lacked effect for me.

If yopu going to pay $20 for material in this area, I would recommend Pema Chodron (meditation), Ken Cohen (meditation and chi), Dr. Emmett Miller (mediation and medicine), Donald Campbell (meditation and music), Alan Watts (sound meditation), Jill Purce (overtone chanting)...etc.

I give this a three star rating, meaning "flawed but useful"

5.0 out of 5 stars Cancer survivor using Dr. Gaynors' methods, February 13, 2007

This review is from: Meditations & Music for Sound Healing: A Leading Oncologist Explores the Healing Power of Sound (Sound Medicine) (Audio CD)

I used Dr. Mitchell Gaynors methods of sound healing in my recovey from stage 4 head and neck cancer. I used a Tibetan brass "singing " bowl by placing it on my clavical as I leaned back in a contour chair and rang it with a cloth covered stick. The vibrations, ringing through my bones and head were my pain reliever, meditation vehicle and path to recovery. I also follow Dr. Gaynors nutrition and phytonutrient recommendations found in his book "Cancer Prevention Through Nutrition". I am healthy again after 4 years since diagnosis and plan on a long proserous life. I'll be 67 in May. I highly recommend his books and wisdom as a top oncologist and specialist in integrated medicine. T A Law

It was truly magical how refreshed, alive, and invigorated I felt after listening to this meditation CD.
Dr. Gaynor is an expert in tapping into one's body and soul to promote health and healing. Since I have also read most of Dr. Gaynor's books I can honestly say he has made the connection between the mind and body for harmony in one's health. This may very well be his best work yet!
