5 out of 5 stars Cured my insomnia.......2007-07-14

I used to rely on drugs on a regular basis to go to sleep and stay asleep. After using this CD for a month I no longer struggle with going to sleep and I can put myself back to sleep if I wake up early, or I just want to relax and sleep in. Now, I usually fall asleep in the first five minutes. Even when I use different CDs, I still use some of the skills taught in this CD, signal breath and clearing my mind. I highly recommend this CD if you have trouble falling or staying asleep.

Other titles I recommend are Listen to the Whisper in your Sleep Guided Meditation and Body Scan: Managing Pain, Illness, & Stress with Guided Mindfulness Meditation.

5 out of 5 stars Recommended Highly.......2007-07-06

I recommend this CD for Everyone-people trying to sleep, or just relax, adults, children, fearful people with anxiety and fearful fliers. It is the best CD of it's kind I have ever listened to. The narrators voice is superb and it really does the job. A resounding five stars! Kelly Austin Atlanta, Georgia

5 out of 5 stars JUST AMAZING.......2007-06-20

5 out of 5 stars Really Calming and helpfull.......2007-06-19

This CD helped me getting better, and calmer sleep. I think Ms. Shapiro deeply understands the human mind and therefore, was capable of putting together this amazing CD.

5 out of 5 stars Soundly Sleeping in Dallas, Tx.......2007-05-13

This is unlike any cd that I have ever listened to. Ms. Shapiro's soothing voice seems to cut through all my anxiety and relax me in a magical way. Ms. Shapiro speaks over a delightful selection of music which collaborates to intensify the hypnotic effect. I would recommend this CD to anyone I know.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-07-09

Excellent CD. Doreen has a very soothing voice spoken in a relaxed manner. The soft music in the background enhances the relaxed mood without becoming a focus in itself. The script she uses is concise enough to provide adequate guidance yet open-ended enough to make listining to it a very personal experience which can be listened to again and again as if it were the first time.

5 out of 5 stars Try high quality speakers.......2007-07-08

I bought this cd along with several others. After awhile this has become my favorite. It's not the words or imagery, and this might sound wierd.
I tried it out recently on a higher quality system with expensive speakers. It may just be me, but it has the effect of percodan or loritab (pain medication).
Something about her voice, on the high end speakers multiplies the effect of relaxing me, even as I'm sitting up with eyes open. On my $100 stereo it's nothing special although still my favorite.

2 out of 5 stars didn't like so don't listen to it.......2006-11-09

should have been as good as the others i got.

5 out of 5 stars It just plain works!!.......2006-10-07

This CD is a strange mix of things -- from a guided imagery trip to a tale about a boy building a wall. Whatever. The bottom line is that it puts me to sleep almost every time. I can't remember the last time I heard the CD to the end. Maybe only twice out of 60 playings.

I can still have problems staying asleep (insomnia and mild sleep apnea) but that's another issue.

My wife has a bunch of Wendi Freisen CDs which absolutely do not work for me. Where Wendi's voice grates and annoys, Doreen's voice is, "like buttah".

Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet sleep!.......2006-08-25

I bought this for my husband to help with his relaxation and sleep. Not only does he love it, but I do to! I put it in my DVD player at night, set the tv for auto shut off and Doreen knocks me out! I've been sleeping so well myself since listening to her. She has a great voice for relaxation, and I've yet to hear the whole cd! I also gave this to my mom who has problems with sleeping and she dittos what I've said.

Album Description

The soothing voice and music on this CD create a restful oasis in which to relax and fall asleep. The Sleep Easy CD is especially helpful when you are wound up from the stresses of living. It helps calm the overly busy mind, soothe the emotions, and relax the body. The CD contains both the Sleep Easy guided meditation with music in the background, as well as a track of music alone which can be used at any time for its relaxing effect. The insert that comes with the CD includes "Principles to Sleep By" which provide a backdrop to help with sleep.

Mary and Richard Maddux were inspired to create this CD by reports that many people were using their Ease of Being CD to relax at bedtime. This new CD was designed to be especially conducive to falling asleep and resting deeply.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Delivered what it promised.......2007-06-02

My husband & I were both undergoing a lot of stress that made it very difficult to fall asleep. We didn't want to take medications. I was skeptical of a CD being able to put us to sleep but I was desperate so I ordered this one. From the sample I heard on Amazon, Mary's voice sounded very soothing and the music was soft and soothing as well - not the case with some of the other CDs I sampled. The first night we tried it, we both fell asleep before the music ended. I don't even know if I was paying attention to what Mary actually said because it was her voice, not the words that was so relaxing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is having difficulty falling asleep, or even if you're just stressed out and need to relax. I think I will probably try some of their other CDs.

5 out of 5 stars Unique and Helpful for Sleep.......2007-01-02

This CD is a different approach to sleep, but one that I found very effective. This goes beyond just a relaxing meditation to a deeper process that allows you to change your unconscious patterns that get in the way of sleep. At first, I didn't notice much, but after listening a few more times, my sleep was deeper and more refreshing. Good alternative if other approaches are not working.

5 out of 5 stars I Fall Asleep Faster, Sleep Quality Improved.......2006-11-18

I am encouraged by how quickly I drifted off to sleep, faster than I usually can. The music is wonderful and soothing, and the voice is gentle and reassuring. I also notice a definite change in the quality of my sleep. It seems deeper and less easily disturbed. On days after using the CD the night before I feel more relaxed and refreshed.

1 out of 5 stars Donated it to the library........2006-11-10

We didn't like it.
The seller was great, got it to us ASAP.

5 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable, very effective.......2006-06-19

I have used this CD now for about three months. It is not only very pleasant to listen to, it is also very intelligent. Mary suggests that you not 'try' to sleep, but just relax and pay attention to your body and thoughts. As you do this, you slowly relax more and more until you effortlessly slip into sleep.

Now, when I lay down to sleep, I automatically start to scan my body, readjust my position until I feel comfortable, and observe my thoughts. As I do this, I often fall asleep without the CD.

Highly recommended.

guidance ease the mind and body creating an atmosphere where true healing occurs.

5 out of 5 stars A calming voice ..........2007-01-29

Sandy's "Deep Relaxation" CD is the first thing I listen to after a long, stressful day at work. Her calming voice, coupled with the relaxing music, helps ground me when I'm feeling lost, upset, or uneasy. I strongly encourage anyone who is looking for a healthy way to unwind or in need of a calming influence in his/her life to listen to this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Very Helpful.......2007-01-09

Deep Relaxation is the perfect way to wind down after a busy or stressful day. The music and guidance by Sandy McDermott helps you relax all your muscles, and alleviate aches or pains in your body. I find listening to this CD after a day of working at the computer or after traveling most helpful to ease tension and relax my body. I highly recommend this CD.


5 out of 5 stars stressed out.......2007-01-06

I was getting all stressed out for an MRI scan, as I'm a bit claustrophobic. However, we put Sandy's cd on during the scan, and I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep! Thank you Sandy, for getting me through a difficult situation!

Sandy's voice if very soothing and calming. I can highly recommend this cd for anyone who needs to relax during a stressful situation, or just wind down at the end of a stressful day. If you're having difficulty sleeping at night--this will do the trick!

1 out of 5 stars Horrible choice of tunes.......2007-01-22

I tried several times to listen to this and get some benefit but it was a waste of money. The music is nerve racking, not peaceful. It would wake me up not help me rest. I can't believe anyone could find this helpful. Go with Bedtime Beats or Sleep Soundly instead. I wish I could get my money back for this stinker!

1 out of 5 stars Pillow Music - Natural Deep Sleep.......2007-01-09

I doubt if this random presentation of tones and sounds has any technical basis behind it. It certainly did nothing for me. Wasted money as far as I am concerned.

5 out of 5 stars Pillow Music - Natural Deep Sleep really works........2005-08-12

I got this and started playing it when my husband and I go to sleep and we just drift off with no problems. My husband recently had surgery and was restless until I would start playing this CD and it puts him right to sleep. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to get a good nights sleep. Also do follow the recommended 10-steps to a good nights sleep which is included with the CD.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for Falling Asleep...ZZZZzzzzzz...........2005-04-16

I work all day in front of a computer and travel alot on business. By the time I'm ready for bed I have so much information running around in my head it's hard to fall asleep. My wife just picked up this CD for me and it's amazingly effective in creating a perfectly peaceful mood that allows my mind to clear, my body to relax and makes falling asleep a breeze. I've still only heard the first 2 or 3 tracks beacuse by the time they're through I'm out like a light. The music is extremely gentle and allows me to sink right into it like a warm bath for my senses. I'm planning on taking it on road trips with me as I have a hard time sleeping when I travel. I am realy happy with this CD and will be checking out more titles from David & Steve Gordon.

4 out of 5 stars The Most Beautiful Recorded Tenor Voice?.......2005-06-22

Is any recorded, tenor, singing voice as lovely as Kenny Baker's? As a child, I often heard him during the 1930s on the Jack Benny show, but have scarcely thought of him since. Amazon.com offers him on four CDs: BABES IN TOYLAND, LOVE WALKED IN, THE STARLIT HOUR and WEILL FROM BERLIN TO BROADWAY. Over the years, I have heard the recorded voices of many tenors, mostly operatic. Their fine voices were excellently trained, often to a wider range and more difficult music. But note for note, their sound as recorded is not I think as sheerly beautiful as Kenny Baker's. A splendid, unspoiled, unstrained, natural gift, put to disciplined and tasteful use! His enunciation is remarkably clear, and his musical line, perfectly smooth. He makes each song a different story, as in the six pieces here from BABES IN TOYLAND.

My claim is easy to test. This website has CDs with excerpts for listening to the best tenors of the 20th century, including Enrico Caruso, John McCormack, Giovanni Martinelli, Beniamino Gigli, Tito Schipa, Richard Tauber, Richard Crooks, Jussi Bjoerling, Morton Downey, Mario Lanza, Giuseppe di Stefano, Nicolai Gedda, Jan Peerce, Leopold Simoneau, Fritz Wunderlich, Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras. Of course, the earlier the career, the greater the damage to the recorded voice from primitive technology. Heard live, who knows which voice was most beautiful? But at least we have what earlier centuries could only imagine: lasting copies of live performances. Listen to Kenny Baker's voice on tracks 2 and 8 of BABES IN TOYLAND, and then compare.

The numbers from THE RED MILL will make you want to hear more. This operetta, also composed by Victor Herbert, was first produced in 1906, three years after BABES IN TOYLAND. "Moonbeams" (well sung by Eileen Farrell) is lovely; "Because You're You" (a duet between Farrell and Felix Knight) is quite simple but surprisingly affecting. The last two are the best: "Every Day Is Ladies' Day with Me," and "In Old New York." They are patter songs, perhaps inspired by, and surely as deft, as the ones that Gilbert and Sullivan were writing two decades earlier. Both are sung by Wilbur Evans, in a rich baritone, with perfect enunciation and marvelous comic flair. Great fun!

The selections on this CD were recorded in 1944 and 1945, then released in 1946 on both 78s and 10" LPs. For this CD, they were remastered from wartime lacquered-glass originals. Baker and Evans emerge in radiant form, surely much closer to live sound than reached our family radio via AM transmission 65 years ago. The orchestral and choral sound is less attractive. Poorly miked?

3 out of 5 stars Very, very truncated........2002-12-09

The scores of Victor Herbert's "Babes in Toyland" and "The Red Mill" are lovely classics, but the incomplete scores represented by this Decca Broadway remastering of its antiquated 78s are not the best reprentation. My advice: wait for the John McGlinn "Babes in Toyland" to be released. As for "The Red Mill", you'd do better to pick up the Ohio Light Opera's double-CD from Albany Records.

3 out of 5 stars incomplete pleasure.......2002-11-09

Two terrible mistakes keep this from 5 stars.. BABES IN TOYLAND is not complete as they are missing the delightful IN THE TOYMAKER'S WORKSHOP. Why? In THE RED MILL they use a butchered take of EVERY DAY IS LADIES DAY WITH ME. Again, why?
John McGlinn will be out with a complete BABES soon - and there is a lot of music in it - so you may want to wait.

4 out of 5 stars Finally available on CD!.......2002-08-01

Decca's 1946 album of selections from Victor Herbert's celebrated musical was a welcome addition to record libraries, covering most of the major songs plus some of the delightful dance music. The album was reissued as a ten-inch Lp in 1949. A later reissue in 1957 dropped 4 songs to fit the score on one side of a twelve-inch Lp backed by six selections from Herbert's THE RED MILL. That pairing is reproduced here but the CD contains the complete BABES IN TOYLAND program! It's nice to have it back too! Nice of Decca to give us this early Christmas present this year. But BABES IN TOYLAND is a score that enchants all year round. How strange that no other complete recording exists.

The six selections form THE RED MILL offer a nice bonus, and the selections are well sung.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful disc from the Austin-based Conspirare.......2006-11-17

    I acquired this cd a couple of weeks ago and have not been able to take it out of my cd player since. This is a quality recording of a wide variety of choral literature, all of which Conspirare performs marvelously. A truly wonderful arrangement by Conspirare's own conductor, Craig Hella Johnson, "Hard Times" is actually one of my favorite tracks on the entire cd, the gorgeous soprano solo and the powerful climax never fail to give me chills. Also noteworthy is the stunning performance of the increasingly popular Ticheli piece, "There Will Be Rest." Almost all of the literature on this disc is very good, and it is all breathtakingly sung by Conspirare.

    The only track I didn't like was the unbearably tacky arrangement of "Deep River." This is no fault of the choir as it is sung beautifully, but the singing just can't conquer the tackiness of the arrangement. I had already begun to develop a negative opinion of it as I listened, and then out of nowhere, this ridiculous wailing saxophone entered(a la Kenny G) and I was not braced for the impact. "This is really lame" is all I could think of as the sap oozed out in all its glory. He also has another go at it towards the end as well, just to warn you. This is just way too much to handle! Whenever you want ultimate cheese, adding a saxophone solo of this style is quite a simple solution. Needless to say, I skip this track every single time I come to it. However, this is only my humble opinion, and you should listen to it and pass your own judgment... perhaps this track is your perfect cup of tea!

    Aside from this one track, I am absolutely in LOVE with what Conspirare has done here. If you can muster the funds, go ahead and treat yourself to a captivating gem of choral music. Highly recommended!

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Artistry and Technical Production.......2005-10-07

    Highlights are Ticheli's "There Will Be Rest" and Whitacre's "Sleep" - certainly the best recordings of these 2 exquisitely beautiful pieces currently available and they alone made the purchase worth it. Single lowlight is the arrangement of Foster's "Hard Times..." which is lovely but ultimately detracts from the song's stark lyrical power. Although breaths are often (somewhat jarringly) audible, technique is otherwise very fine, the artistry is excellent and the technical production is first rate.

    5 out of 5 stars Picky Minnesotan approves..........2005-04-08

    It's heartening for this Minnesotan to discover a choral group continuing on the tradition of impeccable quality that my state's own now-defunct Dale Warland Singers brought to ears for many years.

    I had never heard of Conspirare, but will be looking out for more work from them! I enjoyed most every track and think anyone who enjoys sensitive, yet powerful choral singing will want to check this out.

    5 out of 5 stars Topnotch in every aspect........2005-01-18

    Finally! An American choir that can rival the greats from Britain. This CD is amazing. Not only is the artistry and singing topnotch, the production values are impeccable. Plus, it's not the standard choral repertoire we've all grown bored with. I strongly recommend this CD to anyone who loves fine singing. I hope this is just one of many CDs to come.

      Product Description

      Yoga Nidra provides a chance to relax deeply, to hover gently between the waking and sleeping states and, uniquely, to sow new seeds of positive change into the bed of our mind. The CD contains an introduction and two guided Yoga Nidra Practices, which are done lying still, at any time of day. In this threshold state of complete, deep relaxation, contact with the powerful forces of the subconscious and unconscious mind occurs spontaneously, opening the gateway for intuition to flow. Yoga Nidra offers a path towards self-realization, where we develop the ability to witness, observe and absorb. At the same time, we can sow seeds of positive change - seeds to awaken hidden capacities such as inner confidence, harmony, peace and authenticity. With care, clarity and intent these seeds can grow to become powerful directives in our lives.

      5 out of 5 stars This CD Really Works!!!.......2006-08-07

      I have read through the reviews and I'm glad I did. Not only did I find the material on the CD relevant to helping me feel more relaxed during the day, I was able to fall asleep listening to the sleep track the very first time I listened to it.

      I simply programmed my CD player to play the sleep track by itself. I'm finally falling asleep quickly and staying asleep. Getting a good night's sleep is a great feeling! The best part is knowing that I can pop the sleep track into my player anytime I have difficulty falling asleep and I'll be out like a light before it ends.

      I recommend this CD to anybody who is having difficulty falling asleep at night.

      5 out of 5 stars Dr. Walton's Stress Relief and Deep Sleep.......2005-10-04

      Usually I dont have a problem sleeping. However, I found this CD very helpful when I wake up in the middle of the night and cant go back to sleep. My wife also found it helpful. I am recommending it to my family and friends.

      2 out of 5 stars what were they thinking?.......2005-09-23

      Well, this is the first review I ever wrote. I bought this cd to help with my insomnia problem, but a little stress relief doesn't hurt either. Well, there are some interesting tips and advise on this cd, and I kind of liked the stress relief hypnosis section. The image of floating on a raft in warm water baking in sunshine is very relaxing. But he uses the same image again with the sleep hypnosis. A little variety would be nice!

      The worst part: After I finally started to doze off listening to the sleep hypnosis part I suddendly almost fell off my bed wide awake again because it was followed by a loud music and a cheerfull female voice advertising more products from Dr. Walton! What the heck were they thinking???

      5 out of 5 stars Excellent tool for Sleeping Disorders.......2005-09-02

      I belive that Theraphy, and the use of medically prescribed drugs such as Ambien, Xanax, Lunesta, are great tools to help an individual to overcome seriuous sleeping disorders, but for myself, a more Holistic approach, with relaxation and Dr, Walton's CD, as a form of meditation, has helped me enormously with my ability to keep a routine and a more consistent sleeping regimen, which has improved my quality of life, and has made me much more productive.

      This is a self-help CD I can definitely recommend. I've enjoyed great success with it. The author's voice is calming and trustworthy, his instructions are clear and - most importantly of all - EFFECTIVE. My only regret is that I didn't buy this CD months ago when a friend suggested it.
