About the Artist
It would be difficult, if not impossible, to find anyone who has had as much influence as Wai Lana in increasing the worldwide appreciation of the beauty and benefits of the ancient art of yoga. Wai Lana's internationally aired TV series has attracted a huge audience and has played a significant part in the recent substantial growth in the popularity of yoga.

Wai Lana is not only a beautiful and charming modern-day yoga advocate, she is also a highly energetic and prolific artist. She has published several books on yoga, recorded musical albums in a variety of different styles, and produced and hosted nearly two hundred half-hour television programs of yoga instruction. Wai Lana is one of the most well-known yoga teachers in the world today. Her daily yoga TV shows are regularly watched by millions of people around the world on five continents, including the United States, where her shows appear on many PBS stations around the country. Along with co-directing and hosting her TV shows, Wai Lana also works on the designs and colors of the eye-catching jumpsuits and flower garlands she wears during production. Presented against breathtaking scenic backdrops from the world-famous coastlines of California and Hawaii to the spectacular red rock deserts of Sedona, Wai Lana has become a favorite of viewers of all ages—from children to great-grandparents.

Among Wai Lana's most recent endeavors is a series of yoga exercise videos. The three-tape Easy Series is now available around the world in different languages, as is a second series called Hello Fitness. A third series, Fun Challenge, has just been released for intermediate and more advanced levels. Also being planned for the near future is a series of specialized home videos featuring exercises for athletes, for controlling or helping to prevent lower back problems, and for warm-ups. In addition to the spectacular scenic backgrounds, both the TV shows and the home videos feature beautiful, relaxing soundtracks of original vocal recordings by Wai Lana and her spiritual teacher, Siddha. The music is so enchanting that it has attracted an audience of its own.

The soundtrack from the home videos features tracks from Wai Lana's recently released album, Yoga Music of the Heart, and her newest album, Yoga Sound. These are the first of several albums Wai Lana will be releasing in the category of New Age/Relaxation music. To the serene and warm-hearted Wai Lana, the teaching of yoga is not a business but an important service to the global community. She has dedicated her life to this endeavor, and what began in a small way has grown very quickly.

Wai Lana has been traveling around the world for the past fifteen years working with dedicated professionals from different countries, putting out the highest quality work in every field into which she ventures. This has earned Wai Lana unmatched admiration. She has become a household name and is revered as a pioneer in the field of yoga. This recognition and respect is certain to increase as Wai Lana continues to share the ancient yet timeless gift of yoga.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Donated it to the library........2006-11-10

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

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.

Album Description

Ambience Minimus is the first album of deep relaxation music by Liquid Mind, the name used by Los Angeles composer & songwriter Chuck Wild for his series of very slow stress relief music albums. The music of Liquid Mind is flowing and beautiful, uninterrupted relaxation, the ideal companion for those working long hours at computers terminals who suffer from the effects of stress. The music of Liquid Mind is great music to massage to, great music to create to, great music to go to sleep by, great music for intimate moments with one you love. This functional and peaceful album is also used by parents to quiet hyperactive children, and to assist themselves in going back to sleep in the middle of a difficult night.

More soporific than a lecture on differential equations (a good thing!).......2007-05-14

You do, as another reviewer has pointed out, only need one or two of "Liquid Mind" cd's, because they are all composed on the same principle. So listen to the various samples for each album and find one that you seem to like. Ten minutes of this on my cd player in my bedroom and I am soundly asleep. I've never experienced anything like this; it's like a sleeping potion for your ears.

I imagine you could do yoga, relaxation therapy, or massage to this. As for me, I play this before bed and I find I sleep soundly and immediately. Better for you than a prescription and no hangover!

Brain Massage.......2006-11-21

Four generous tracks of angelic layers of interwoven ethereal cloudscapes. One part new age one part ambient. A very satisfying massage of your frontal lobe. Indeed you will feel somehow lighter after playing this. Yet not the kind of music to "listen" to but rather play in the background for daily mind liquification. Best of all the Liquid Mind projects. This is not "minimalist" music as the title suggests. It is cleanly produced yet avoids the error of overproduction.

Ambience Minimus - Liquid Mind (1).......2006-08-20

I use this product for massage background music. All Liquid Mind Series work well for massage purposes. After purchasing the entire series, I realized you really only needed 1 or 2 of this style.

Ambience Minimus.......2006-08-07

Packaging for this CD suggested the ambience would be mystical, magical and relaxing. The CD was totally disappointing. The sounds emitted were very barren, and there was no "song". The sounds that were audible were very pretty, but they were scarce.

Yes! What I was looking for...........2005-04-22

I had been looking for another CD to play during meditation that was similar to Awakened Mind by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, and I finally found one I like. The Awakened Mind was so great because of the "entraining" of sounds and also because it didn't have a predictable melody--you could just experience it and go with the flow. (I find it hard to meditate without some kind of music or ambient sounds due to the tinnitus in my ears--the joy of being over the hill!)

I have the Chakra Suite CD by Steven Halpern, which I enjoy, and also Ancient Echoes by Halpern and Georgia Kelly (which I'm not as crazy about--I'm afraid a little of Halpern goes a long way.) Reiki: The Light Touch by Merlin's Magic is pretty nice, although there is a repeating melody throughout, so I have been searching for something that has those deep bass notes that are sustained while the more ethereal high notes sound over them, and this CD has them. Others have complained a bit about the wind chimes, but to be truthful I probably wouldn't have noticed them--that's kind of what I hear all the time anyway!

All in all a very soothing CD that I think I will be able to enjoy and meditate with quite often. There are four tracks so one could listen to just one for a quick bit of relaxation or the whole CD if time permits.

Awesome.......2007-01-10

For resting and relaxation this just cant be beat. I ALWAYS find myself sleeping deeply after listening to the first in this set of cds. It is like some kind of voodoo magic the way this ALWAYS relaxes me and allows me to sleep deeply.

For all of my life I have been something of an insomniac that can only sleep at the point of utter exhaustion, but with this cd I have finally found that "sleep button" that can make me relax and fall asleep no matter what. I am also the type of insomniac that wakes up after around 4-5 hours of sleep no matter what. I usually wake up in the middle of the night between 2-4am and cant get back to sleep. But even that is no problem these days, I just turn the cd on and I am back in a deep sleep within 20 minutes or so. It works even if I used the cd to get to sleep in the first place, and even if initially I don't feel tired at all.

For the first couple weeks I owned this cd I couldn't even tell you how many tracks were on it. I was normally completely knocked out by the middle of the second track after the Guranga breathing. Her accent is different but her voice is completely soothing and relaxing.

Also, not only am I able to easily relax and fall asleep, my sleep seems more restful with long vivid dreams that I remember when I awake. It is not unusual for me to wake up remembering 3 different dreams over the course of the night when before it was very rare if I even remembered one full dream. I used to vaguely remember dreaming about something, but now I remember multiple long vivid dreams in very accurate detail.

I couldn't recommend this cd more. You will not be disappointed.

Real Rest and Relaxation.......2004-02-12

Hi y'all,

I really enjoyed Wai Lana's Rest and Relax cd. It brought me to a greater relaxation and peace that I never experienced before. In the beginning part we did a deep breathing and vocal exercise called Gauranga meditation as well as a another relaxation exercise named Yoga Nidra. Wai Lana's voice was so soothing, it was just relaxing listening to her as she instructed me through the exercises. The Gauranga vocal vibrations really caused a relaxing inner peace within me that I really missed when I was not doing it in other parts of my daily routine. Sometimes I found myself spontaneously practicing the relaxing Gauranga meditation throughout different times of the day. I am writing in because I am getting a lot of positive vibes from this cd and I have even ordered the other ones related to this one, which I can't wait to get.

Better than drugs.......2003-12-24

I had never tried anything like this before--it was a gift from my personal assistant--but it has helped me deal with the stress of my job better than any thing my doctor has prescribed for me. I always put it on when I get home and jsut let the sound take me away to a better space. Highly recommended!
