Editorial Reviews

Effective for: Relaxation * Yoga * Massage * Tai-Chi * Home Base * Meditation * Down Time Stress Reduction * Reducing Hyperactivity * Sleep Rhythmic Pulsing for Speech & Reading * Biofeedback The Soothing Pulse is designed for adults and adolescents and consists of: A continuous, pulsating beat designed to synchronize--or entrain--the left & right brain hemispheres. Two interlacing drones. A bass drone (i.e., continuous, meditative sound) intended to ground us, and a light, melodic drone designed to quiet our thinking mind, helping to create a sense of peace and flow. A rhythmic, guided entrainment script that escorts the listener through a progressively deepening state of relaxation. The tempo begins at an up-beat, lively pace then gradually descends to a tranquil, soothing cadence. A series of thought stopping, meditative affirmations that emphasize restful breathing, flowing, and letting go. Contents: Track One Guided Relaxation with Soothing Pulse Music (22 minutes) Track Two Soothing Pulse Music (22 minutes)

I attended one of Dr. Ortiz's presentations on Asberger's. I am a child and family therapist who also happens to have AD/HD. This CD is absolutely phenomenal in it's ability to put me in a complete state of relaxation! Never before have I been able to wind myself down so quickly. One of the best purchases I have ever made! And I second the suggestion to never listen to this CD in the car. :)

I also purchased this CD at a workshop Dr Ortiz did on working with Asperger Syndrome children. The tape is described as being "designed to synchronize and gradually slow down our internal rhythyms, leading to a state of nstural ...body relaxation" instilling a "state of deep meditation and ... mind body rejuvenation." This indeed it does. Only so very, very well that my often skeptical husband now insists on listening to the the tape almost nightly to help him wind down from a stressful day at the office to a state of peaceful, restful sleep.

The music featured on this CD is based on Dr Ortiz's technique of Pulse Entrainment and consists (as it is described on the inside jacket) of:

"(1) A rhythmic, quieting pulse designed to balance the left/right brain hemispheres.
(2) Layers of interweaving musical drones which create a sense of flow and serenity.
(3) A guided, progressive narration to gently relax and rejuvenate our bodies and minds."

It is highly effective and I was saddened to hear that Amazon did not currently have the tape in stock. As a Master-level clinical social worker for 31 years, I would strongly recommend this to any of my clients, especially those who have trouble sleeping or relaxing. It works!

I heard Dr. Ortiz speak at a conference and decided to purchase this amazing CD. It's true...don't listen to it when you drive because it will put you to sleep in a matter of minutes! I have a very hard time getting to sleep and this is the only thing I have found that really works. The first track is a guided relaxation & the 2nd is just the sound. Works with your body's own natural rhythm, starting out at a fast pace and then slowing down as your body relaxes. Also great for when you wake up in the middle of the night & can't get back to sleep. Try it & be amazed. He also has versions for children. If it's not available at Amazon, try his website. Sweet dreams!
