Throughout this immeasurably relaxing album are the predominant natural sounds of both water and birdsong that get supported by an assortment of gentle keyboard instrumentations. From Ashron's singing bowls to Scholl's spacescape, from Shajan's pouring rain stick to the Gordon's bird and waterscapes, all lend the listener to a perfect blend of sound for bathing the mind and soothing the spirit. Sophia has the only track with vocals, but its ethereal voices are so sweet one forgives the gentle intrusion. In all, this is the Gordon's most relaxing and rewarding album for letting go. Top-notch sooth-ability!

This latest compilation of healing music from Sequoia Records is nothing less than brilliant. A follow up to their beautifully relaxing "Musical Healing" release from several years back, Perfect Balance: Musical Healing Vol. 2 surpasses the first in depth, dynamic and serenity. The majority of tracks here are mainly new releases along with a few classics from legendary healing music pioneers, David & Steve Gordon. These are balanced perfectly with some amazingly traquil tracks from such healing music luminaries as Shajan, Sophia and several new artists of note, including Bernd Scholl, whose track "Watermoon" blissfully carries the listener away on an ocean of eternal calm and Ashron, whose "Golden Light" bathes the listener in a waterfall of shimmering sound. This 69 plus minute release is superbly produed, mixed and sequenced allowing for ultimate release and relaxation and is long enough to just let it run for accompanying any healing arts session. An exceptional release.

The layers of this title are too far to imagine and yet the artists have produced something that is so fluid and serene that it is more like a journey than a CD. Absolutely perfect for the end of a long day, I highly recommend this album for anyone needing some R&R. Also check out the first of these two Musical Healing albums.

Perfect Balance is a lovely collection of inspirational and healing music. I use it for hatha yoga and it has just the right combination of rhythm and tranquility for an mindful moving practice. The Be Still track is one of the best I have heard for savasana. A must have in every yogini's collection.

This is so peaceful...beautiful. Can I say that one more time? Each and every song is unique and invokes it's own energy and yet they create a cohesive lineage of tracks. I especially love Lines in the Sand - it particularly feels wieghted to earth if that makes sense. I love the deep tones and lower notes used, makes me feel grounded. Highly recommended disk. Garden of Serenity is another that I found extremely serene and peaceful.
