The sounds from this CD are amazing for meditation or massage. The sounds vibrate deeply within me, slowing my heartbeat, and floating my spirit on waves of bliss. At times the sound is almost electric, deep and thrumming, causing my nerves to resonate. This is my favorite CD for massage. I can leave my body in the capable hands of my massuese, and let my spirit travel to another level.

In my humble opinion, the best Tibetan Bells or bowls cd I have heard is Benjamin Iobst's "7 Metals". It is easier to listen to.

Although I like Becher's offering - don't get me wrong, I do own it and play it - I just think that Iobst's is more listenable and has a better meditative quality. Sometimes Becher's sound patterns seem redundant and almost annoying.

I also highly recommend the crystal bowl offerings of the "Crystal Voices". These have an even higher vibration, that is a more spiritual/mental effect on me, but they too can be annoying if you are not in the mood for them.

For Tibetan Bowls, I have heard about 8 different cd's and I consider Iobst's the best. But Becher's isn't bad.

I use this CD and his other release for meditation. This artist in a different level than the rest tibetan bowl players. This CD creates a deep level theta trance. The ironic part is that it holds you there throughout the CD.

Not only beautiful but effective, I find listening to this cd very helpful to meditation. Last evening I felt the bowls were ringing me.

As a professional Reiki practitioner, I am always looking for music that will enhance the feeling of safety in the work space. The depth of connection to the (Tibetan & Nepalese) bowls that Becher has keeps him from forcing his own 'direction' on them, allowing the bowls to reveal their nature and effect. Becher undoubtedly knows a lot about how the sounds emanating from the bowls affect both halves of our brain, but for somebody who doesn't and who simply wants steady, unforced music/sound (without recognizable melody or demanding rhythm) through which a person (practitioner or client) can truly relax because s/he feels safe, 'Tibetan Singing Bowls' is a wonderful find.

The first cut does contain a short higher-pitched rushing crescendo of a Chinese gong, which is a bit of a startling shift in the atmosphere (and possibly makes that piece less appropriate for Reiki work or meditation) -- hence the four stars.

This is what I expected and needed. I have other singing bowel cds and this fits in nicely. I use it to help me work on my clients in deep tissue massage body work. I also use it to relax myself.

I liked Danny's "Tibetan Singing Bowls" the first time I heard it, and I've noticed it gets better each time I listen. I think that's a mark of an exceptional recording. It's what I call "melt music"; helps me melt into my chair as I listen, totally relaxed.

Track 1 in particular, "Prasantatma - With A Quiet Mind," works well as a musical overlay onto a meditation/relaxation entrainment track you can make with Neuro-Programmer 2.

This album's quality is apparently not unusual for Danny. I'm finding another of his albums, "Healing Crystal & Tibetan Bowls," to be similarly growing in my estimation each time I hear it.

I don't get it...Maybe there's nothing to get.

I did get a head ache however. *shrugs*
