This is a wonderful CD to help calm the mind and body. Two CD's for that price is a bargain. I listen to Stan Richardson on the shakuhachi quite regularly when I am doing yoga or just quietly reading. Highly recommended (from a fellow shakuhachi player in Japan).

5.0 out of 5 stars Peaceful, July 21, 2005

This review is from: Shakuhachi Meditation Music: Traditional Japanese Flute for Zen Contemplation (Audio CD)

The flute music is very peaceful. Sometimes flute music can sound dissonant or have quick & sharp note changes, but this CD set is meditative without any awkward moments. The flute flows like a river: with slowly changing notes and simplicity. It is like a soaring bird catching an air stream. I especially like listening to this music during shiatsu (finger pressure medicine) or a good massage.

This CD is excellent for sitting meditation. I would recommend it to anybody who likes to meditate with music. There are several cuts with times that are appropriate for standard mediation sessions.
