Editorial Reviews

Music touches our hearts and resonates within our bodies. The right music can truly renew us, helping us to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Great musicians have always recognized this therapeutic power of music, and researchers are finally proving them right. THE SOUND MEDICINE SERIES features the works of inspired musical pioneers who are exploring music’s healing power.

Music for Both Sides of the Brain By combining soothing music with sophisticated sound technology, Music for Brainwave Massage has been shown to effect profound changes in brainwave patterns and states of consciousness-changes discernable on brain mapping EEG equipment. Throughout the flowing, peaceful melodies, Dr. Thompson has incorporated specific audio signals to create a sympathetic response in the two hemispheres of the brain. This coordination of right and left brains in associated with deep relaxation, stress reduction, creativity, insight, and enhanced problem solving.

Pioneering New Technologies

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson has been researching the effects of sound frequencies and music on the mind and body since 1981. He has produced over 50 CDs and audio tapes which are currently being used by health practitioners as well as the general public in 26 countries. He teaches Ph.D. courses in Behavioral Psychoacoustics and Clinical Sound Therapy. He also has a private sound therapy practice at The Neuroacoustic Research Center in Encinitas, California.

5.0 out of 5 stars Balance for the Right and Left Brain, August 2, 2007

This review is from: Sound Medicine: Music for Brainwave Massage (Audio CD)

This CD does what it says it does: it balances the right and left hemispheres of the brain. I've always been extremely right-brained, and have found it difficult to feel part of the world of the more predominant left-brainers. When I found this CD, I was skeptical, but I'm glad I gave it a try.

I started listening to it everyday, and from the very first time, I noticed a huge difference in my thinking. It was a big adjustment, but I kept going. Now, I'm using my right and left hands together, and seem to be more balanced all the way around. I used to grimace when faced with simple math and logic, and now it comes so easily. I'm glad to have become more acquainted with the left side of my brain, thanks to this CD.

I've shared it with others who are more left-brain dominant, and they enjoy it, too. They report feeling more intuitive and creative in their thinking after listening, so it appears that it really does do exactly what it says it does.

This particular CD does not say which brainwaves it uses. It seems to be more of a perk-you-up CD than a calm-you-down CD, though. Highly recommended.

Since consciously using "the Secret", or if you prefer, the Law of Attraction, I have landed a gig as a meditation facilitator on Wednesday nights at the church that I belong to. I often use Jeffrey Thomson's CDs for background music. I find that even without headphones, people find it easier to come to center and relax more deeply than with the other music I tried...but come to think of it, I was playing Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult, and Deep Purple...

Just kidding...

But I'm not kidding at how deeply you'll be able to go into meditation with the consistent use of these CDs. Some people make the mistake of "tacking" meditation on their "to do" list. Meditation is never something one does; meditation is something you become. In meditation, you don't try to become centered and peaceful, you realize that within yourself there is already a centered place and all you have to do is let yourself go there. In truth, this is where we all came from and all meditation does is reawaken within us something that we have misplaced in our "busy-ness".

I know this review might sound a little metaphysical but think about it, why do you want to meditate, anyway? It's because at some level, you do want to rise above the physical...you do want to find peace and inner bliss and I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you ain't gonna find peace in the world until you find it within yourself...you're not going to find Heaven in a religion until you awaken from the dream that Heaven is right where you are. There is nothing outside of you and meditation puts you in touch with that certain "something" that is speaking from the depths of your being and desires to resurface Itself in you and through you.

This CD will help you wipe the sleep from your eyes, it will help you part the clouds of doubt, and wash away the decay that we may have let accumulate upon our minds, our hearts, and our spirits.

So, if you have to "do" anything today, do this: order this CD and start to realize with real eyes see what an incredible journey you are already on.

Peace and Blessings

This is a great CD. I have used this CD and others by Dr. Thompson to decrease stress, help me relax, help me feel peaceful and help me fall asleep. Other brainwave CDs are energizing. I created a whole class topic after listening to a "Insight and Intuition" CD, and the class was good, if I say so myself. These CDs are better than drugs!
