This CD is extremely good for relaxation purposes. I light a candle and take a bubble bath to enjoy this one. It is very thought-provoking, narrative, and imaginative yet relaxing somehow all at the same time. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for some peace.

This CD is overall very beautiful sounding CD. I have one huge gripe that bothers me though and if repeated sounds bother you I would stay away. Every single song, I mean everyone has the same birds chirping every 5 to 15 secs per song. I tend to do college work and listen to what I call Zen music it helps me stay calm and makes studying way less painful. The birds on here however bothered me right from the get go. I try to play it low so I want hear them as much and honestly after a while its not that bad, but I don't understand why in the world would they put the same sound effect in every single last song. I also think if you're purely relaxing with your eyes close this want be much of a problem but if you do thinking work while listening it can be annoying. So far Zen Garden 2 is my favorite Zen music.

the cd is so relaxing and soothing. i orginally purchased this from a wal-mart aisle sample machine, and had to buy another when i lost the first. i love to meditate to the music. i tunes doesn't have this cd, which is unfortunate as hearing it made my buy it to begin with. it is mild piano, flute, new age type.

Incredibly beautiful music! Along with "Zen Garden" this is one of my top CDs that I can listen any time over and over again. Too bad I only have 5 stars to rate it.

Going through a major change in my personal life, I was in search of relaxation music. The first time I listen to this CD, it bring the emotions out and I was in a little tears. It was a good soft release. Then the joy, healing, and soft strength filled me by this music. My understanding of life expand, and going deeper. The music seem to be able to lift me out of my small world. It's just such a feeling. Hard to describe. This is my first review on Amazon. I had only read reviews before but this one I have to share.

I bought this CD thinking maybe it may help at night to set a good calm mood before bedtime. It did just that. Played it, and I also was pleasantly surprised.

I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys relaxing music with moody strings, whimsical flutes and wonderful natural sounds. I played it so much, the CD actually wore out...lol I searched Amazon, because I had to buy it again!

I picked up this CD and was very pleasantly surprised. It is a beautiful blend of relaxing natural sounds with a mildly haunting flute and melody. It is beautiful from beginning to end. Suitable for relaxing, reading, meditating, studying, etc.

Very nice for relaxing... great for de-stressing during the hour drive home from work on the days when talk radio or commercials on regular radio only annoy me. I find it helps slow my breathing and calms my mind regardless of how tense I am when I walk out the hospital doors.

It's like a spa in the car!

Side note- the musical instruments that are high pitched make listening uncomfortable for me even at moderate volume levels. I always play this with the volume fairly low.

You can't go wrong with this cd, this is great music to listen to,especially when you are having a bad day,stressed,or just want to relax. This will bring you back to a good place. Would recommend to anyone.

I actually bought this cd about the time it came out at WalMart. I must say I have listened to this cd countless times and love how relaxing it is. You will not be disappointed if you are looking for a good zen relaxation cd, this one is great!
