Product Description

AGES 11 to ADULT

Relaxation/healing stories developed with hospital pediatricians and
child psychologists to help older children and adults cope with medical
procedures, psychological problems, surgery, insomnia, and everyday
stress; and to help activate the body's natural healing process.

Waves and Light are peaceful narratives designed to help people (ages 11 to
adult) relax, heal, and fall asleep. These narratives were developed with the
help of hospital pediatricians and child psychologists to help older children and
adults cope with medical procedures, hospital stays, and everyday stress;
and to help activate the body's natural healing process. Each narrative 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.

The compositions in both pieces were recorded at the tempo that has been
proven to be the most effective at evoking the relaxation response through a
scientific phenomenon known as rhythm entrainment.

This CD is ideal for people who:
* Are sick or hospitalized
* Have trouble relaxing or falling asleep.
* Have siblings, parents, or chldren who are sick or hospitalized.
* Have ADD, ADHD, OCD, separation anxiety, depression, or panic disorder.
* Are undergoing change such as a new school, new child in the family, move, or divorce.
* Are having a hard time at school or work.
* Are traveling.
* Are afraid of the dentist, doctor, the dark, nightmares...
* Are suffering from PTSD after a storm, military duty or other traumatic experience.
* Are undergoing medical treatment such as surgery or chemotherapy

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

By	Bob Owen "Bob Owen" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

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 This CD really helped me with my surgery, January 28, 2009

By	Sally Libbey (LOS ANGELES,CALIFORNIA) - See all my reviews

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.
