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.

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.

I have recently been suffering from insomnia due to my advancing age. Sarah's voice and tone, narrative, and pacing was was just the ticket to help me relax and become drowsy. I really enjoy the music and the beach sounds; they were transporting to a surprising degree. I would highly recommend this CD for women suffering from peri-menopausal insomnia.

I got this CD to listen to at night, and sometimes during the day. I LOVE the narrator's voice and the music. It was interesting to learn all these different ways to relax, breathe, visualize... I use these techniques all the time during the day, and I really feel like I am changing the way I think. I feel more relaxed and more in control. It may sound funny, but I had a meeting that I was dreading, so I started picturing myself the meeting being relaxed and saying what I needed to say. I think that it really helped!

I got the other Airy Melody CDs for my daughters and feel as if we are all learning to live life in a more positive manner. I am glad that they can learn these things at a younger age, and that I can learn these things now. Thanks Airy Melody!

A friend told me about Airy Melody CDs. I went to Airy Melody's website to listen to these CDs before I bought them... and I wound up buying all three CDs! I LOVE all three of them! They have made our lives so much easier, and have been a real lifesaver. Sometimes I have walked through the house and heard all three CDs being played, a different CD in each bedroom! That's okay with me, because I find the voice, songs, and narratives very soothing. And I feel like it is another important way for me to take care of my family.

I got "Rainbows and Sunshine" for my older child. She is just plain stressed; I think a lot of it is the everyday stress that all children have today, and the fact that she has been the target of bullies a few times. Also, her younger sister is sick a lot, and that is scary. She loves the music and narratives, and listens to the Rainbows and Sunshine every night before bed. I hear her singing the songs about Rainbows and Sunshine sometimes, and she does the breathing when she is stressed at school. We also used the visualization techniques to help her prepare for a dance recital and an oral report at school.

She is waking up less with nightmares, and wakes up in a better mood. The other day she woke up grumpier than usual, and I realized we had forgotten to play the CD. I also find the CD relaxing, and enjoy the narrator's soothing voice, and relaxing songs about nature.

I bought "The Swan and The Mermaid" for my youngest child, who has been diagnosed with Ehrles Danlos syndrome and IBS. It is almost impossible to describe what it is like to deal with chronic illness with a child, but if you are parent who in the same situation you know what I mean. Anyway, she LOVES The Swan and The Mermaid. She uses the techniques in kindergarten, and we listen to it on the way to hospital for tests and sometimes during the tests. She adores the stories and the music. When she is home sick, I also put it on.

Sometimes my older daughter listens to The Swan and The Mermaid too. (Originally she did this to help her younger sister, like Airy Melody suggested in the CD insert. They said it is a good way for a sibling to help another sibling who is sick, it benefits both kids.) However, even though it is for younger children my older daughter likes it too!

Finally, I bought "Waves and Light" for me and my husband. At first he listened to help with extreme abdominal pain, which they finally discovered was his gall bladder. (His surgery stressed us all out; thank God we already had our CDs!) He said that the musical narratives helped him relax and feel less pain, and I know they helped me feel less afraid with every thing going on. I listen to them before bed, and sometimes when I wake up in the night. I love the soothing voice and peaceful music. They help me relax and go make to sleep, usually before the CD ends.

I can't recommend these CDs highly enough! If you aren't sure, go to Airy Melody's website and listen to the samples. I feel these were a very wise investment for my whole family. They make our lives easier, and I feel good knowing that we are all learning the latest techniques for coping with stress. They really help with surgery, hospital procedures, chronic illnesses, and everyday stress!

With two cuts...it is a calming, guided imagery sort of CD. Not bad, not great--but good for anyone who has never done this. IF you are looking for a higher level of this technique, might be redundant.
