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"

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!

Dr Gaynor is the real deal. It is amazing that an MD is embracing the healing power of music.

the material on this is great, but.... THE SPEAKER IS SHOUTING. His tone is NOT relaxing. I wish I could demand a refund.

I thought the Meditation CD was good, though some of the meditations were quite short. I would probably choose different goals for the guided meditations than were on the CD (Radiating Harmony, Creating HOpe, Infinite Light, Inner Peace), but they were OK. The Music CD - well it all depends on why you bought it whether you might like it. I thought it would be good to use during a Reiki session - not so! It's too upbeat to be used in a relaxing Reiki or massage session. It might be pretty good for Tai Chi or something like that. The music is nice, just not what I was looking for.

A thoroughly good meditation CD and I have listened to many over the years.
The voice is relaxing and complements well the background sound. I highly recommend
this CD.

I can not praise Dr. Gaynor enough for his efforts on behalf of those of us suffering with cancer. His work is a blessing!
