This CD is not music in the usual sense ....it is a soundscape of healing vibrations. I really think the composer,Thea Surasu, knows his stuff. My wife and I meditate twice a day. We usually listen to it while meditating in the afternoons. I find that it really helps me focus, and cut out some of that constant mental chatter which is so distracting. Thank you Thea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing soundscapes, July 9, 2002

This review is from: Singing Bowls of Shangri-La (Audio CD)

I recieved this CD recently, and i am very happy with it. Thea Surasu has done an absolutely wonderful job of keeping the sound continuously beautiful and calming, unlike some other so called "meditation" recordings i have heard. This CD puts me into a state of deep relaxation, and i have noticed that i loose all track of time. I would recomend following the suggestion in the liner notes about listening simultaneously on headphones and speakers. Just make sure that the volume of either one is not so high that you can't hear the other, and also that when the headphones are on your ears, you can still hear the speakers through them. This adds wonderful depth to the sound, and really enhances the effect. The harmonic overtones of the bowls are wonderful, and sometimes concentrating on one of them is all i need to relax. Thea also does a great job with timing the strokes of the bowls and continuous harmonics with changes at the right time. In the course of the symphony, you will feel that there are certain sounds that really aid in concentration, and Thea dwells on them for the appropriate period of time. Overall a very well done work! Thanks Thea!

5.0 out of 5 stars Soothing, Mindless, Relaxation and Healing, December 29, 2004

Thea will bring you to a place of static, soothing relaxation. The music is specially helpful for those with Monkey minds and is amazing when used with headphones (I highly recommend this). You can hear Thea's breathing but it is very soft and unoticeable once you focus on the sound of the bowls. I don't find that it interferes with the music. I have also used the music for centering, chakra alingment, and healing and it works great. Be prepared to leave the world behind when you turn the music on!
