If you are looking to uplift your mood-or your consciousness-listen to Shaina Noll. This new CD, You Can Relax Now, is as charming as Songs for the Inner Child, her first. Again, each piece is sung with simplicity, love and clarity. Sheer elegance. The recorder, cello, guitar and piano add richness.
I've always felt that Shaina simultaneously sings to two universal themes within us: the vulnerable inner child and the expansive realized One. She's doing it again--holding our hand as we proceed on the journey.
Shaina writes to the listener: ..."each of these songs deeply supported me in making the transition from a life based in fear to a life based in trust." Her accomplishment with that transition resonates in the way she sings each song.
I use Shaina's collections to soothe myself or help my friends relax at difficult times. I heartily recommend this CD for your library, for the quiet times when you want to connect with the Divinity that you are, and the Divinity that surrounds you.

Shaina Noll's musical talents are an important piece of the beauty of this CD. Her voice is clear, pure, and seems effortless and unforced at all times. The arrangements are wonderful, soothing, and relaxing. But to me the most powerful part of this is the spiritual energy and healing love which infuses every song.

Shaina's CDs are an important and powerful part of my own healing journey. As with so many people, I find myself often struggling with fears and doubts."You Can Relax Now" is perfect for those times, offering what I experience as lullabies for adults, powerful because there is nothing artifical or inauthentic in them, but they are straight from Shaina's heart. At times they contradict my old recordings so exactly that many healing tears come. At other times I simply remember to breathe again, more deeply. When I need to, I can imagine myself curled up in her lap, being sheltered from the storms of life.

The qualities of unself-conscious, un-held-back genuine tenderness and love and reassurance expressed in these CDs are quite rare in my experience. They could only have come from her dwelling in the truth she sings. She sings as if there is no one to impress, no one to convince, no one watching and judging, just a pure offering of love. What a precious gift!

Since I first played this CD I have listened to it with my children every night as they go to sleep. This recording is truly a masterpiece! Soothing to the heart and yet musically so beautiful. The harmonies move my heart. Shaina and Richard have so masterfully but together some beautiful work. You can "hear" the love they have to share with the world.

The CD "You Can Relax Now" invites its listeners to slow down,
and allow themselves to be soothed by Shaina Noll's angelic, nurturing voice and gentle, contemplative music. Shaina accompanies herself artfully on piano and with rich harmonizing vocals, and is supported by other talented musicians as she weaves together storytelling and chants offering the message that 'All Is Divine'.

This spiritually inspired and eloquently soulful CD has a clarity and simplicity which, while very relaxing, is also deeply moving.
I particularly like listening to it in my art studio, where it helps me sink into a quiet place in myself that supports creative
inspiration and expression.

I highly recommend this beautiful CD as the holidays approach. Its
serenity and affirmation of the Divine in each of us, is a welcome
alternative to traditional seasonal music.

My experience with Shaina personally has been so pleasant. Even though I am only a fan she has been kind to answer my e-mails and questions I have. Shaina's music comes from years of personal work and also caring for her children. You can hear the love she shares with her husband through his contributions to her latest recording, You Can Relax Now. I am a minister/therapist in the upstate area of SC and regularly use Shaina's music to soothe my patients and encourage them to relax and meditate. It helps them into a place where they can open up in our sessions and begin to heal. My own experience has been one of healing as well and I have spent many hours listening to Shaina Noll's haunting, soothing melodies from her Singing Heart. She has through her music helped me along my own journey with Spirit and the qualities of her music have healed my heart and mind and opened the well of my soul. Shaina's music tells us we can relax and live at Peace as we were intended to all along. What a relief!

I love this CD! The music and Shaina's voice is so soothing and beautiful! In fact I ordered all her CD's and listen to them all the time. :-) Ann

This is another copy of a CD I have owned for years. I have listened to these songs repeatedly for years. Shaina Noll has a very soothing voice and the songs speak to such deep seated needs.
