I played this Cd for My mother who was then stricken with a nasty fluy and I swear it boosted not only her spirits but her physical well being. The mind can heal especially if you can relax it into a state of beauty and peace. This is the most peaceful Cd that I own. I sometimes play it while I read or write or fiddle around on the Computer. I guess that it is made for doing Massage, Reiki, Rolfing and stuff like that. I believe that it would be great for these as well for I would enjoy getting a massage or Reiki session with this gently sounding in the back-ground. But as I said I enjoy it in many other ways. In the morning and at night. It is a great Cd to have in your collection for times when you want to deeply relax and prey or meditate or just day dream. I am so surprised that Dean Evenson is not more Famous than he is compared to Enya and Yanni and stuff like that. I think that he is easilly in anybody's category in this field of New Age relaxing healing music. Try it out. I love it and enjoy it often. It is the type of Cd one can never get sick of. No pun intended. lol

Over all it was very pleasant listening. I particularly liked Emerald Sea with its ethereal beauty, so flowing and liquid with good use of flutes. Other pieces vary (Gentle Season has an Oriental feel to it).
In Far Away the sounds of crashing waves, mingle with flute music, giving a vaguely Renaisance or feeling of a harem. The final cut (I Ching) rounds out the CD with chirring bird sounds blending with flute and possibly a harp.

Evenson fans note: this is mostly a collection of cuts off previous albums.

Really a nice compilation of pieces. Sometimes new-agey meditation music can be a bit droll and cheesy. Not this one. I use it for general background music as well as meditation. Nice production, nice chord changes... it takes me away.
