30 sec. repeated recording does not make mantra meditation........2007-03-16

"A waste of money" is the best I can say about Charles Cannon's CD: Om - The Reverberation Of Source ASIN: B00004ZCP3. The cover is attractive and uses two of my favorite words that actually have real spiritual and metaphysical meaning; however the audio content of the CD is a misrepresentation of repetitive living yoga Pranayama Om mantra-ing. The problem is not its repetition, since that is what is done when using Om mantra, the problems is its mechanical looping of the exact same recording. It starts out very lovely for about 30 seconds and then proceeds to repeat those exact same 30 seconds over, and over, and over, again for the next 29 to 30 min.; the second half of the CD is the exact same repetitive looping as the first half except about a minute longer.

Given that listeners only get about 30 seconds of continuous mantra-ing, that CD fails to share Charles' personal vibrational relation to humane spiritual source via his mantra-ing. Perhaps he is shy about exposing his individual soul to a generic mass audience of untold numbers of which he has never met, and perhaps that wise, I probably could be too; the problem is it also fails, as a useful mantra-ing CD in that its repetitive looping is artificial, mechanical, not natural, and mildly antagonistic to human consciousness (despite the cover's quasi-scientific gibberish) - that CD takes a lovely 30 second and constrains and subjugates it to a machine looping thus droning final mix (not to be confused with the droning of musical instruments that must be repeatedly activated by humans, preferably musicians, and therefore vary naturally). So, why is that so important?

Human beings have fluctuations in their breathing, the volume of their vocalizations, the intent of and feelings during Oming all of which are very personal; furthermore, human anatomy is governed by the Divine Proportion and each of us anatomically deviate form it somewhat. In addition, part of our individual spirits are body ejected and often re-absorbed biological photons of light whose energy states coincide with the Fibonacci Series which is in turn also governed by the Divine Proportion; what this amounts to is that 30 seconds of real time recording looped over, and over, and over etc. again is truly mechanical circularity... ah......I don't recommend that CD, nor do I recommend any CD that repeats the exact same little bit of recorded mantra-ing.

A favorite continuous OM .......2007-02-08

I have several long/continuous tracks that I use sometimes in meditation. This is one of my favorites. If I'm meditating on OM, I can start by joining in on the chant and then as I go deeper I can let go of the chant and continue the meditation silently. The harmonics on this CD are particularly nice. My other most favorite in this line is Jonathan Goldman's Ultimate OM.

An enjoyable meditation CD with many uses.......2007-01-19

I don't use it for meditation or yoga, although as the other reviewers note it would be definatly perfect background music for either. The cd is a combination of the Master Charles himself and soothing rolling sounds of the ocean. Also, it's not synthetic as other compositions can often be. I use it for clearing the space in my house (works perfectly) and sometimes I chant Om to it as well, which creates a wonderful mind release and full body pleasure sensations when done for for 20-60 minutes.

Om, is one of several CDs produced by Master Charles. I have the 15 minute meditation disc as well which is quite good and another he produced called Harmonic Coherence specificially for space clearing, which is also good, although I suspect it was produced partly a response to Ken Wilber's Integral movement. In any case, it's nice to have a couple of tools do the same job.

Use headphones for a real mind treat if you're working on your computer and experience the joy as it goes to work on your cells. There are very useful free samples of all of the CDs at his site if you want to check out what they're about. As for the whole meditation delta, theta thing... I won't get into it here. There's lots of research that has been done on that and you'll find it on the web, my experience with the entrainment CDs... they're definately helpful... the pricing though on these and Holosync... well, what can I say... at $250+ a pop per level they're definately not about community service or getting them out to the masses. If you've seen those pictures of the influence of various thoughts, words and sounds on water crystals and how sound waves create patterns in sand, I have no doubt that they do similar things to our brainwaves and similarly affect our internal states. I definately feel more balanced after listening to this CD.

I've used and returned to this CD time (which I can't say for many others I've bought) and time and have found it to be exceptional value for money. I'd have no hesitation in replacing it at the list price here.

I am a personal growth coach who teaches meditation in workshop settings. While I have not used this sound track in any of my workshops, I use it myself and have found it helpful in setting the right atmosphere for meditation.

On the CD the sacred sound of OM is chanted repeatedly over the sounds of light instrumental music and the ocean. It is repetitive, which is partly why I think it is successful in inducing a very relaxed state of mind without being a distraction. I also think the natural sound of the ocean helps create a certain deep sense of relaxation as well because it is a natural rhythmic sound.

While I haven't used it in my yoga practice, I suspect it would be excellent for restorative yoga and any relaxation poses at the end of an asana sequence. I know for me it induces a relaxed state and it is one of my favorite CDs to use to quiet my mind. I look forward to trying it with yoga in the future.

While any CD or guided meditation can be a crutch, sometimes a crutch is useful. For beginners in meditation, I recommend it highly to help achieve a relaxed state of mind. However, I think it's also important to learn to achieve a relaxed state without any props.

Part of my work also involves the use of biofeedback. On the back of the CD there are some claims that it induces alpha brain states. While I haven't put this to the test with recording EEG data, I suspect there is some truth to this claim.

With respect to the music, it is not a melody that is developed. Rather the music takes the form of repeated sounds, almost like a chant. Again, this is an approach that is unlikely to distract the mind and conducive to a deeply relaxed state.

I found the price of this CD to be a bit high. However, I have used it many, many times and have never tired of it. Unfortunately, I can't say this for a lot of the other CDs that are out there that claim to be good music for meditation or yoga.

I think you can buy this CD with confidence as long as you understand what you are getting. I hope it bring you the relaxation and proper atmosphere you are looking to create for your meditation practice.

Do Not assume that One can attain a meditative State by listening to a CD, or reading a book. Listening to this CD itself WILL NOT STILL THE MIND.

The Sounds are lovely, and creates a desire to be still, but it will not create a meditative state, a trascendental state of mind. That MUST BE INDUCED BY THE SELF.

Find a Guru who teaches Pranayama, Breath Control, Kriyas.

Buy the CD to PREPARE for Stillness ....
