5.0 out of 5 stars My Heartfelt Review for "The Tranquil Harp", May 22, 2004

I am continually amazed by the healing power of music. Especially harp music. As those who know me know, my healing from a debilitating stroke came about in large part due to the improvisational healing harp of one man: Paul Baker.

Mr. Baker is such a talented person. He could have chosen to record albums using his vast knowledge and technique on the large and impressive concert harp, piano, or organ. However, for posterity, he chose to record improvisations for healing on the smaller and more personal celtic harp.

How does one capture the essence of such music in words? His two albums, "The Tranquil Harp" and "The Ladder of the Soul" are groundbreaking in their simplicity and breadth. And each one has its own unique place in my life.

"The Tranquil Harp" helped me most in my physical healing. Its music is very basic, simple, and gentle. It has brought, and continues to bring, growth and strength to every part of my physical being. To play it is to bathe in regeneration and light.

"The Ladder of the Soul" continues this healing on the emotional and spiritual planes. It connects our essence to the divine in such a way that we emerge purer and more aware of our true being and purpose in this life. This is real health. Divine health. What a gift to be brought to us by one man. This album is so aptly named as it proves that the harp truly is "the ladder between earth and heaven," connecting us to the divine safely and lovingly.

Thank you, Mr. Baker, for sharing yourself in such a way that allows all of us to unfold in ourselves and in the world with true happiness and peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meditative Magic, January 31, 2002

I have used this CD now for over a year, and play it frequently when I work with clients. It makes a marvelous background with which to do guided imagery work. I was so delighted at the results I had with my clients that I donated a copy to the UCLA Medical Center for their use in the Oncology Outpatient Clinic. The music has a way of calming my clients, many of whom are a dealing with life threatening illnesses. I highly recommend it for those in the healing professions.

I just love this cd. The music is beautiful and ethereal. I turn it on just as I am going to bed and I go right to sleep, whereas if I am not listening to any music I will sometimes lay awake for an hour or more. I think I am usually asleep by the time the third song starts. "Tranquil Harp" makes me feel like I am falling asleep in heaven. It is a very addictive sound, you will want to hear it all day long. A wonderful gift for anyone you love!
