From AudioFile

This audiobook serves as a useful guide not only to toning the chakras through mantras and chant, but to what the chakras are and what they do for us physically and metaphysically. Oddly, Goldman is a poor speaker, whose voice lacks texture or resonance. He sounds more like a guy working at a metaphysical bookstore than an inspiring instructor. The author attempts to put the listener at ease and to describe and demonstrate his vocal techniques, with mixed results. Unlike most Sounds True productions, VOCAL TONING THE CHAKRAS lacks clarity and crispness in writing, performance, and production, though the packaging and accompanying booklet are well designed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vocal Toning the Chakras, July 20, 2006

If you buy this cd, it is because you understand the subject. I recommend this recording. The only flaw that I find is that in the middle of the most blissful "tunin out" Goldman comes in with a booming voice to say "Now... Tune into your..." It is startling and it takes some getting used to. Other than that, I have found it very useful and informative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to do and definitely has an effect, December 13, 2007

I've just started using this CD and I can definitely feel the sounds reverberate through my body as I sing (or chant) each tone. You do each sound a number of times for each chakra and visualise the colour for each. I have cards painted in each color or I look at something of that color as I intone each sound. It is easy to do and takes around 30 minutes for the basic exercise. (There is a shorter version too). I can feel which chakras are heavier and need work. I haven't had the CD long enougn to say what long-term effects it has, but I just need to use it more often!
