Editorial Reviews

Review

I started using Waves and Light in middle school. I had stomach aches and panic attacks, so I used the breathing and pictured the light to calm down when I was nervous. My mom and the school nurse agreed I could keep a copy of this in the nurse s office. My panic attacks aren t as bad as they used to be, but I still use the things I learned when I am anxious. I listen to the CD at night to fall asleep, and I use the visualization to help me practice for presentations. I love the music, the waves, and the soothing voice of the narrator. I have given a few to friends, and they say they help them too. I don t know what I would have done without this! ----- High school student, Small town in MA

I highly recommend these soothing recordings to parents. They are well produced, with age-appropriate imagery and peaceful music. ---- Dr. Daniel P. Kohen M.D., Pediatrician, Professor, Award-winning author and researcher.

I worked on the transplant floor at Children s Hospital Boston. We were worried about a teenage boy who needed more and more pain medication to cope with pain. We knew he could not be released until he started using less meds. He asked for the medication every four hours. So after three hours, we started playing Waves and Light. His requests for pain meds lessened, and he continued to use this CD to help with his recovery, and was eventually released. ---- Theresa Moran, RN. Mendon, MA

I use this CD when I am stressed about work (which is most of the time because we are down-sizing), or when I have a big presentation. I use the visualization part to help me prepare for meetings and presentations, and the CD also helps me fall asleep. ----- Steve Wilson, Los Angeles, CA

We would highly recommend these CDs not just for children with special needs, but for adults that need some extra help to relax. ---- Assistance Dog for Autism: The story of Clive and Murray and their travels....

ABOUT WAVES AND LIGHT

Waves and Light are peaceful narratives that help teens and adults (ages 11 to adult) relax, heal, and fall asleep. Each narrative was developed with doctors and features different music and mind-body techniques to appeal to a wider audience. Waves, set to strings, flutes, and gentle waves, features progressive muscle relaxation exercises and a calming beach walk. Light, set to acoustic guitar and soft strings, features mindful relaxation, visualization, and light imagery. In addition to stress management and relaxation, these recordings have proven to be a valuable tool for teens and adults with insomnia.


Use at bedtime to help listeners fall asleep more easily, sleep better, and sleep through the night!
Use as a bedtime CD to quietly fall asleep in a relaxed state and wake up in a better mood! Listeners also wake up less with nightmares and night terrors.

Safe for hospital use; nurses in Boston Children s Hospital use them on the transplant floor to reduce anxiety, manage pain, promote healing, and help patients fall asleep at bedtime.
Patients in hospitals tend to be more sensitive to certain types of imagery. Our review process, which included child psychologists in Dana Farber hospital, ensures that our imagery and suggestions are not apt to trigger anxiety in medical settings. ....Dr Daniel Kohen recommends that you preview any narrative if you plan to use it for a child; you know your child better than any one else!

Great for travel!
It can be hard to fall asleep in a different place! This CD can help you maintain a consistent routine when you travel. Play it for your child, or listen to it yourself, on the airplane or on vacation. You (or your older child) will fall asleep more easily with positive thoughts and images.........You should never listen to a relaxation narrative when you are driving, or if you are the one flying the plane!

This CD teaches the same visualization strategy that Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls to help win their championship!
It can help you cope with stress and anxiety, and enhance performance at home, school, or in sports. This CD teaches mind-body reduction techniques that you can use at home, school, work, in medical settings, or to prepare for interviews and meetings. This CD has also proven to be a useful tool for listeners with special needs such as ADD, OCD, PTSD, and autism.

Created with pediatricians using scientifically proven techniques !
The narratives on this CD were reviewed and edited by experts. Each narrative utilizes different age-appropriate relaxation and healing techniques, such as guided imagery. These techniques have been clinically proven to relax; help listeners quickly fall into a peaceful sleep; reduce anxiety and depression; accelerate bone and tissue healing; help manage pain; reduce the incidence of asthma and IBS attacks; reduce the incidence of night terrors and nightmares; reduce nausea in patients undergoing chemotherapy. .. the list goes on and on!

Music designed to help invoke the relaxation response.
The accompaniments to these CDs were written at the tempo that has been shown most likely to invoke the relaxation response through a phenomenon known as rhythm entrainment .

WHY WAIT TO MAKE LIFE EASIER... START NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Airy Melody product; I highly reccomend it!, January 25, 2009

This review is from: Waves and Light (AGES 11 to adult) adult/children relaxation CD created with doctors as healing/bedtime CD for homes/hospitals. Guided imagery for anxiety, insomnia, asthma, surgery, IBS, ADD, PTSD, OCD, cancer, job stressâ€| PREVIEW at airy-melody.com (Audio CD)

I love Waves and Light; it is very relaxing! I play guitar myself, so the first thing I noticed was the musical arrangements in Waves and Light. I really like the guitar in Light. I find it soothing especially with the soft keys. I don't really like some of the canned midi music out there, so it is hard to for me to listen to some things because I can't relax with that music. But this music is beautiful and very relaxing!

The narratives themselves are also effective; they help me wind down after a stressful day at work. I also use some of the "mind-body techniques" when I get stressed at work. It is interesting how well they work; they really do slow my mind down and make me feel less tense.

This is another great product by Airy Melody; I recommend it! Even a musician will find this relaxing.

5.0 out of 5 stars 10 stars - The BEST of all relaxation CDs, April 20, 2010

This review is from: Waves and Light (AGES 11 to adult) adult/children relaxation CD created with doctors as healing/bedtime CD for homes/hospitals. Guided imagery for anxiety, insomnia, asthma, surgery, IBS, ADD, PTSD, OCD, cancer, job stressâ€| PREVIEW at airy-melody.com (Audio CD)

This is the 3rd CD I tried with my 10-year old daughter, who often can't get to sleep because of stomach aches caused by anxiety.

IT WORKED LIKE MAGIC - within 5 minutes she had gone from moaning and crying to calm, and 10 minutes after that she was ASLEEP!

The woman's voice is soothing but not cloying and the directions on muscle relaxation are clear and easy to follow. The wave sound effects are clearly artificial, but it's just background, so it doesn't detract from the quality of the CD.

We tried the Indigo Dreams CDs but they are too young for my 10-year old and didn't give very good directions on muscle relaxation. The stories on them are fun, so I don't feel like they were a complete waste of money, but if you want the best relaxation CD - get Waves and Light.

A friend got me this CD when she found out I needed surgery. The night before my surgery I really needed to unwind so I played Waves and Light. Within a few minutes I felt myself being drawn into the music; my heart was beating slower and I felt more relaxed. I'm sure it helped speed up my recovery and I still play when I need to unwind.
