Loving Spirit, Black Hawk, SD.......2007-08-01

Chakra Suite has created wonderful tonal vibrations to open your chakras. This CD works well with whatever you are doing at the time of listening to it (ie: driving to or from work, washing dishes, or meditating).

Best of Steven Halpern.......2007-07-24

Chakra Suite the reissue of Spectrum Suite is a wonderful album.
One of the most popular New Age albums of all times. This CD is very good for energy healing and Chakra balancing. Also recommended for Chakra balancing and healing sessions is Healing Vibes by Paradiso.

Outstanding!.......2007-07-24

I just placed an order for my 2nd copy, so I can have one in the house and one in the car. I listen to this CD daily, especially when I need to concentrate on a specific task.

The Sleep Soundly CD by Steve Halpern is the one I use to fall asleep, it's so good I haven't been able to listen to the whole CD.

Relaxation.......2007-05-23

Steven Halpern is the master of relaxation music. It feels as if he knows the secret code to relaxation. This is the same for all of his meditation CDs. Chakra suite is one of the best CDs in chakra series.

Great Music.......2007-03-13

Anything Steve Halpern creates is soothing and wonderful and this CD is no different.

One of the fundamental criticisms of New Age music is that it puts people to sleep. Here, Steven Halpern, one of the founding fathers of New Age, makes that his mission and, as you might expect, does an effective job of it. Drawing on catalog material from the early 1980s, Halpern builds an attractive collection of delicate, lighter-than-air sonic textures that nicely serves the intended purpose--to fill the silence with something prettier than white noise. Halpern does so by blending electric and acoustic piano, plus additional keyboards, to create soothing, improvisational, cloudlike musical abstractions that often convey the tranquil randomness of wind chimes in a soft breeze. The liner notes also promise your subconscious will be exposed to a series of subliminal, sleep-encouraging affirmations along the quiet, unstructured way. This may sound like so much frou-frou to the unconverted, but for anyone sincerely interested in a sleep aid, Halpern's disc is a certified snoozer, a New Age music box. Other New Age discs may accomplish the same purpose as Sleep Soundly, but few will do it as persuasively. --Terry Wood

not sleepy enough.......2007-03-02

Too repetative, made me want to speed up the Brahams lullaby. Just made me agitated. However my 8 yr. old daught listens to it many nights a bedtime and loves it. I like his Chakra CD much better and find it more relaxing.

Great CD For Falling Asleep.......2007-02-09

We have purchased several CDs to help us sleep, but this one is by far the best. My husband and I was able to fall asleep pretty much before the first track is finished or at most the beginning of the second track. I don't think I can even recall what the third track sounds like... It plays Brahms Lullaby in several versions (trio, duet, solo) along with some other songs, but it does it in a way that is very soothing.
I have strongly recommended the CD to other family members and my collegues.

ZZzzzzz is right!.......2007-01-13

During the first 5 minutes I told myself this is rediculous how is this going to get me to sleep?

Well after another 5 minutes I checked out and went straight to dreamland.
I woke up refreshed and full of energy. I always suffered from not being able to fall asleep, worrying about little things. The cd is great, I can't hear my own thoughts.
I'm a dj and since using this cd my ears are no longer tired and I can mix my music properly. Love it

works wonderfully for the little ones too.......2007-01-12

We have had trouble with our 2 year old staying in bed. She seems to think night time is a good time to bounce off the walls :) We started playing this CD and within 2 nights she was sleeping soundly without trouble. She shares a room with her 4 year-old sister who loves the CD as well. She will ask to have it played every night. It is very soothing background music.

Didn't sleep soundly.............2007-01-12

I found this cd very UNrelaxing, didn't lull me to sleep as promised. Very dissappointed and would not recommend.

Steven Halpern has more than 60 recordings in circulation, including audio projects ostensibly designed to enhance memory, wealth, and weight loss. He even has his own trademarked slogan--the Halpern Effect(tm)! (Take that, Mozart.) Thus, it's easy to view Halpern's high-volume output since 1975 less as art and more like a commodity. Gifts of the Angels, a 68-minute compilation (sampling eight albums and adding two original pieces), offers a few nuggets that suggest Halpern's music at times can stand on its own merits, detached from all of its deep-bliss, New Age pretensions. "Celestial Prophecy," is a nicely detailed (which is not to say complex) excursion on solo piano that briefly stirs the senses, and the title track from Higher Ground is a delicate space-music standout. Meanwhile, the 1970s-flashback tonality of Halpern's electric piano (one piece, "Earthrise," can be traced to Halpern's debut release, Spectrum Suite) dates several of the tracks included here. Nevertheless, the disc's pace, which drifts deeper into the ether on each of the last five tracks, is nicely constructed for those aiming to nod off into a state of contented nothingness. --Terry Wood

I have used this CD for TEN YEARS..........2006-12-23

As a massage therapist, this is the ONLY CD I have used consistently in my practice over the past TEN years. There is something about this particular CD that I absolutely love and that has not been duplicated in other CDs I have used (literally hundreds!) Steven Halpern comes up with awesome music! I have many of his other CDs as well, but NOTHING comes close to "Gifts of the Angels". I am now using my 3rd copy and will buy another when this one is worn out. Many of my clients ASK me to use it in their massage sessions and ask me where to find Halpern's music. Superb.

Welcome to the warm embrace of angels!.......2006-08-31

When much of modern day's rock music and the civilization's pressure on people's lifestyle has a stressful and bad influence on the well being Steven Halpern's music is a blessing. The Godfather and inventor of the New Age music that has a healing and relaxing purpose makes music that puts the body in it's own rhythm and leads into a state of balance and inner peace. Gifts of Angels does all this, but adds an extra dimension with its beautiful angel song, making this an absolute world class New Age album. The music puts the brain waves in an alpha state and sometimes my heartbeat even gets down to 40 beats per minute, leading to a sense of peace and relaxation at the same time as its get me ready to meet my everyday life as a more balanced and happier human being. To have the opportunity to lie down and do nothing, just listen to this beautiful music, and let it fill your entire body with peace and comfort is a luxury that I think every human being should have the opportunity to do and that everybody needs to do once in a while. Unfortunately many people don't have the knowledge about New Age and the way it helps us to a better life. Bands like Rush, Journey and Def Leppard gives us the rush and entertainment that we need to be energetic while going to the gym or driving the car fast on a sunny summer day. Steven Halpern's music gets the body in a state of balance and peace and helps us to get more concentrated and focused. The price of this CD is not just the price of another CD, it's an investment in a better life, like buying a miracle pill that gets you healthier and helps you get away from illness and an unhealthy life, a pill that never will end.

Gift of Angels.......2006-08-21

The music is just that! It sounds like you're in Heaven. Halpern scores again!

This is truly music from the angels.......2006-03-24

I listen to this CD when I am meditating and while I am taking a bath. It allows me to relax and truly be in a state of heaven. I love it.

life saving music.......2006-03-07

I did not expect this but I was really buying this for myself, turns out my daughter likes this at night so she can fall asleep. My daughter is 4 and very active, she never seems to know when to rest and relax.
I decided to play this one night just to ease the mood of the night and she was asleep by the 4th song. We play this cd every night. thank!, you thank!, you thank you!

I love this cd because now I can have her go to sleep at a time that is normal for her age instead of an adult time.

Thanks, I recommend this cd for every one that is tense and needs a good easy winding down. I love it

Great CD.......2007-06-05

I can't say enough about this CD. It is great to meditate to. If you just want to take a 20 minute vacation, it is possible with the help of Steven Halpern's music and sounds then Emmett Miller's soothing voice on this CD. Highly recommended!

The best I've ever encountered.......2006-07-01

This CD is the best I've ever encountered as far as relaxation CD's go. The first time I listened to Autogenic Stress Relief I was scared of feeling relaxed (because I don't know how to relax). The second time I was used to the process and it was wonderful. I can't brag on this CD enough. I can concentrate, I can focus, and I don't worry about things as much.

Beautiful Guided Imagery and Music.......2006-06-25

Emmitt Miller leads you thru four different relaxation sessions, each about 20 min. in length. His voice is very soothing and the background music is perfectly in tune with the guided imagery. The music is performed by Steven Halpern. I agree with the previous reviewer that the trip to the beach is the best one on the CD, but the others area very good too. You can use in the middle of the day or before going to sleep to aid in relaxation. Very much worth the money for this CD.

Please see my other reviews on Amazon.

The Ultimate Relaxation.......2005-02-27

Dear Friends,
I have been enjoying the use of this tape for many years. It has four separate 20 minute relaxation sessions on it. Some have muscle tension progressive relaxation exercises, which are fantastic. But my favorite session is "A Trip to The Beach." It is a guided imagery session that relaxes you, takes you on a trip to the beach, and guides you in seeing your body as healthy and strong. You can use this tape for an afternoon relaxation session, or you can use it as you go to sleep at night. Even though it will bring you "up" at the end, I have never had a problem just sleeping soundly through it when it is bedtime. I've used this tape when going through severe health challenges and stressful situations. My husband also enjoys listening to it at night. I highly recommend it.

I can't say enough about this CD. It is great to meditate to. If you just want to take a 20 minute nap, it is possible with the help of Steven Halpern's music and sounds on this CD. I have it uploaded to my iPod and on a difficult migraine night I just pop the ear peices in and go to sleep listening to this over and over again on shuffle. Highly recommended!

Effortless Relaxation.......2007-03-11

This is a very relaxing CD. My husband and I play it while we are working outside or relaxing in the lanai and it fits perfectly with the nature sounds around us (birds). We also use it for background music when friends are over. Everyone enjoys it and wants to know what it is. It would be a great tape to play in the quiet of the evening to fall asleep to, or to play in a guests room for a relaxing ambiance. It is very well spent money. Thank you, Steven

Not very impressed.......2007-02-14

I got this CD with the hope it would help me relax while I meditate. I didn't care for it. Not my kind of music.

Relaxation!.......2006-11-03

I really enjoy every Cd from Steven Halpern, but this one is really my favorite. It always helps me relax and I use it a lot to drift off into a restfull sleep. I put my MP3 on shuffle because I always fell asleep and never remembered hearing the end of the CD. I would highly recommend this for relaxation. It really melts away the stresses of the day.

Unique, the Best I've Heard.......2002-09-08

Dr. Halpern's talents shine on this CD. I had many relaxation CD's, but after hearing this one, I threw away all but this one. Everyone needs relaxation for good health. This CD is the best of the best!

Meditation & Healing Music.......2007-06-03

This is a great CD and certainly unique. First of all, anything I have purchased by Steven Halpern has been great. This is the type of music that you would play during a Reiki energy-healing session, or something similar. It is also great for meditation. I just want you to understand, this is not what most people call "music". There is chanting, to Tibetan and Japanese temple bowls to Tibetan bells to harmonic keyboard vibrational sounds. Oh, and we have gongs and "OM" chanting, too. "Tonal Alchemy" also begins with a unique recording made inside the Great Pyramid in Egypt. That, to me, is beyond cool. This CD is also about using sound to heal (self and others). (If you don't already know, sound and colors are also used as healing modalities.)

It's hard for me to really describe this CD, because most "normal" people would probably not "get it". This is more for the spiritual type person, who is into healing, or meditation, and or spiritual advancement. This is a "vibration thing," like a clear your mind and connect your chakras and feel your head vibrate type CD. If you don't know what I'm talking about, this is probably not for you.

On the other hand, if you DO understand what I'm saying, this is a good one and different. It also makes a great gift for anyone you know who is into these types of alternate therapies. So, crack out the crystals, light the candles, and put on this CD. Better yet, make a crystal grid. This vibration is awesome.

There are 17 tracks, totalling a hair under 1 hour and 7 minutes, certainly ample time to let it run during a Reiki session or meditation.

Just what I was looking for.......2006-12-05

I've tried meditation and self hypnosis techniques for years--not well, but at least making the effort!--but I've never found music that I felt really encouraged the practice or helped expand my potential. I was looking for something like Tintinabulation, which involves bells from temples. Halpern's work is even more arresting than Tintinabulation. Rather than the continuous resonance of bells, his pieces are more varied. Takahashi flutes, drums, crystal bowls, as well as temple bells are played with each segment of the recording having a slightly different tonal character and texture. I find that I can select the recording I feel comfortable with and put it on replay while attempting meditation and it truly does help me concentrate. I'm very pleased. This is not just New Age music--which I also like--it's actually intended for those who want to create an environment conductive to meditation. I plan on giving a copy to several friends. Superb.

some of the best music out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-05-04

I purchased this CD at the bookstore it features ancient tibetan & Japenese bowls! track #9 features a gong being hit three times. this is a great introduction to far east asia music! if you buy it you will like it!!

Let your Spirit Soar.......2005-12-15

As a long-time fan of Steven Halpern, this is one of his best projects yet. If you are a fan of Tibetan signing bowls, then this is the CD for you. It is a great meditation tool...you can OM away with the surrealistic sounds.

My only criticism would be that on occasion, between cuts, there is a long empty silence when you're not exactly sure if the CD is over yet. As an example, on cut #17, there is total silence for several minutes and then Whoops! you hear the faint meditative sounds..then total silence again.

I fall asleep each night to the beautiful sounds of Steven Halpern. I have most of his CD's; you can't beat him for relaxing, smooth, meditative music....I always, always fall asleep before the CD is over! His music puts you in a totally beautiful, spiritual, sublime place.

Superb.......2006-12-13

I purchased the meditation CD Tonal Alchemy and really enjoy it, so I decided I'd purchase this one by Halpern also. This is billed as a "healing" type recording, and I have to admit that it does have a wonderful effect on one.

I was first introduced to the concept of sound as a healing source when I worked in surgical intensive care with a confused, essentially dying patient, who was agitated, sleepless, and difficult to comfort with the usual methods used in ICU--mostly drugs, repositioning, encouragement, etc. It was close to the holidays, and a harpist who was on rounds with the hospital chaplain was playing music for individual patients that might be interested. I certainly was at my wit's end and was ready to try anything that might have a hope of making the patient more comfortable. The harpist played a few melodies, and I was amazed at the change in the man. He was "gone" enough so that he really wasn't aware that someone was there for him at all, but his behavior changed dramatically anyway. So did mine! I felt immediately calmer, less frustrated, less helpless to assist the patient. It was a physical feeling, almost like gentle fingers massaging your entire person, inside and outside.

I tried to achieve the same effects later with CDs, but the sound of recorded harp music had little or no effect on my patients or on me. It was a very pleasant sound esthetically, of course, but not physiologically effective. This CD of crystal bowls is.

For some reason, the sounds of Halpern's recording of various crystal bowls actually seems to penetrate the body and affect the sense of well being. I was very pleased with the work and will probably give copies to friends as gifts.

Ack, my ears!.......2006-03-14

I own quite a few of Steven Halpern's CDs, and I find his music more comforting than a lot of other sound healing stuff. However... the "noise" of crystal bowls is not for me. Apparently some people find it quite tolerable, seeing some of the good reviews this album received. But if you're like me-- the type who experiences slight panic attacks when a fast train blows a horn as it hurls by in a subway, when someone with long nails scratches a chalkboard, when Mom plays the Vienna Boys' Choir at top volume, when a mosquito molests your ear at bedtime-- skip this one. Personally, I can't see how anyone can bear this loud, high-pitched "UFO-approaching" noise. And if you turn the volume down enough to tame the crystal bowls, you can't hear any of the other sounds. I suppose sound healing is largely a matter of taste, but just be careful with this one.

Feedback.......2006-02-24

The recording mechanics on this CD were terrible, painful feedback at low volume. There seemed to be no theme to this CD,it was a waste of money.

Excellent Meditation Music.......2006-02-18

I use this music (with headphones) for daily meditation and find it very helpful. I prefer the simplicity of these pure crystal tones to other meditation/relaxation music that is more complex. This music helps me with three specific challenges of meditation, namely: boredom, sleepiness, and intrusive thoughts. With crystal bowl music my meditative state deepens while time slips by very rapidly. Though the use of crystal tones for meditation may be unconventional, for me it combines the best elements of chanting and traditional meditation where you focus on your breath or a mantra. I now experience my breath as a musical instrument that accompanies the crystal tones. If you meditate regularly and have experienced the challenges noted above, I strongly recommend that you try crystal bowl music to assist and deepen your practice.

I own about a dozen crystal bowl CD's and another half dozen tibetan bowl cd's. This one is by far my least favorite. I have come to the realization that Halpern doesn't do it for me, even though , as a sound healer, I so wanted to like his music. If you want good crystal bowl music, check out Deborah Van Dyke or Elivia. If you want absolutely great bowl and overtone music, check out Klaus Wiese.

Learning.......2007-06-08

I will never study again without this product. I found I can study a lot longer while using this product.

Zen Capitalism (ý mole, or do you want more?).......2006-04-16

Halpern is a great artist... and a gret money-maker. Each "new" title has the same songs, sometimes with different names... A little swindle... Zen swindle, I would say... But I love them all anyway.

O cara "lan?a" na maior cara-de-pau CD's com diferentes nomes, mas com as mesmas m?sicas (que tamb?m mudam de nome)... ? mole, or do you want more?

Excellent for studying.......2002-11-17

I love this CD! I often put it in my personal CD player and take it to the coffee shop to help me as I study French. The music is relaxing but not sleep-inducing. Steven Halpern composes great music.

Nice background music for studying.......2001-04-02

This is my first Steve Halpern album. I'm not sure if the subliminals in this CD do any good, but the new age music on it is nice, relaxing, and not annoying. It is not distracting either. I use it to study with and it certainly helps block out unwanted noise.
