Part of the Sound Healing series from Soundings of the Planet, Tao of Healing teams flautist Dean Evenson with Li Xiangting, a professor from the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and an authority on the guqin, an ancient seven-string zither from China. Their collaboration, with barely perceptible support from keyboards, acoustic guitar (Scott Huckabay) and percussion, is a hushed, serene, and inviting experience--as soft as the faintest breeze felt on a peaceful, sun-warmed afternoon. Evenson's meditative flute, which rarely strays from the instrument's comfortable low and middle ranges, is the disc's prevailing voice, with Xiangting's guqin discreetly supplying tasteful, angular accents to complement the Western vibe of Evenson's reflective improvisations. At times, in fact, this calming, slow-go disc (60 minutes in length) briefly conveys traces of jazzlike harmonics (largely Huckabay's contribution) that flavors the blissful proceedings with a nice touch of musicality. A slight soundalike quality might be detected in some tracks, but this is a minor quibble. This is Evenson's first recording where natural sounds are not included, though the liner notes assert the mix makes use of "earth resonance frequency" (7.8 hertz), all to enhance a listener's attainment of an alpha state. Actually, Evenson, Xiangting, and company do a commendable job of that on their own. A strong choice for supplementing massage or meditation. --Terry Wood

Good for pets as well as people.......2007-03-03

I purchased this cd for myself, but noticed my Basenji seemed to relax a little whenever I put the music on. I often play it for her in repeat mode when I am going to be out. She is definitely "zen'd out" by the time I return!

I can best describe the music by saying that there are no loud instruments or uptempo arrangements to distract from the relaxation experience. The melody is soothing and uncomplicated, so it works well in many settings where a quiet mood is preferable (like doggie bath day). So do something nice for your pet...and yourself...and check out this cd. Alternately, I would recommend Dean Evenson's equally pleasant "Forest Rain" cd.

nice.......2007-01-20

Students in my tai chi exercise classes for seniors prefer this--
over several similar CDs.

Maybe its the 7.8 hertz Earth Resonance Frequency in the mix?

Can be used also when doing the 24 Form Yang style--

Although "O'Holy Night" works wonders during the Christmas season
(5 and 1/2 minutes almost fits the Form perfectly.)

Use for healing.......2007-01-16

I just purchased this CD for my realative diagnoised with Lukiema, I hope it helps him, He is very stressed and can not keep a clear head to sleep.

Album Description

"No wonder every massage therapist and yoga instructor I know plays music from Soundings of the Planet. Dean Evenson's familiar, echoing flute has me so well trained that I go into a little trance as soon as I hear it!" -- Mara Applebaum, New Age Retailer

"Dean envelops us with a whole earth full of flutes, keyboards, and natural sounds that blend better than anyone could hope for." -- MusicDish.com

"Dean Evenson is my absolute favorite for massage! I have all of his CDs and have been using them for years." -- Ruthy Lucas, LMT

Warm, resonant tones of the wood flute merge with the gentle sounds of flowing water, weaving a relaxing tapestry of deep inner peace. Soothing flute melodies, soft drumbeats, and rattles invoke the spirit of nature to create a tranquil mood. For over twenty-five years, Dean Evenson has captured the magic and deep essence of the wood flute on many Soundings recordings. People have often asked for an all-wooden-flute album--so now, for the first time ever, he dedicates an entire album to the mystical quality of this beautiful instrument. Wood flutes are made from the earth elementals, sometimes hewn from tall cedars, or carved from reeds, bamboo, or--as in the case of one of Evenson's flutes--lightening-struck ash. The flute's subtle tones are blended with wisdom and the breath of life.

Calming . . ........2005-11-28

Ocean Dreams is the most calming and relaxing cd I have ever owned! It makes you feel as if you're sitting on the beach, just gazing up at the beautiful night sky. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, then I suggest buying this cd. You won't regret it!

Pure tranquility...deepening our connection to the earth..........2005-08-31

This CD was given to me as a gift from a dear friend, and what an amazing gift it was! Evenson's music invites the listener into a deep state of connectedness...at first a gentle beckoning that soons envelopes one in total peace. The meditative (and often joyful) sound of Evenson's flute and the energizing flow of water are punctuated by the enchanting communications of dolphins and whales, inviting us to remember our deepest connection to all of life.

As a Reiki practitioner, I find this CD invaluable to my healing music collection. Evenson's work is unique and inspired and definitely sets a standard in the New Age genre. Even those who don't typically like New Age music should give this a listen. There is much to discover in Evenson's work. His intention to create "Peace Through Music" is evident in every track. Let the joy envelope your heart!

Wonderful relaxation with beautiful music and sounds.......2005-04-20

This was my first Dean Evenson CD and has started a snowballing collection - I love this guy! This CD is *VERY* relaxing and will calm you down right away. I have PTSD and used it during my worst times - it brought me back down to earth and got me relaxed. One note - do not use while driving. It's a little TOO relaxing for that. The ocean and ocean animal sounds are perfect and work wonderfully with the music. Well worth it!!

Just RELAX!.......2004-03-10

Used it during my pregnancy and labor, then to sooth our baby to sleep. Our "baby" (now 9) loves this disc and other Dean Evenson material. We play it every night or as we head to nap time and he happily drops off to sleep. I've bought copies for his pre-school and daycare. It relaxes the kids and was guaranteed to get a room full of toddlers snoring in no time.

This is my favorite baby gift and I've also bought copies for friends and massage therapists. This CD is very special: pure relaxation.

I used this CD to relax during birth and to relax my baby in the first few months and it was a treasure.

Ahh. or Ohm.......2007-03-30

This is the most relaxing music possibly, I've ever experienced. When I bought my first copy in a bookstore in Albuquerque, I had asked the clerk to play it for me before purchase. Upon listening to it with me, she said she felt so calm, that the rest of her day was going to be great-Unless she fell asleep!-Thats how "unstressed" it makes one feel.
I have given this CD (also in "tape" form) to people for gifts. Everyone has enjoyed it. Most recently, I gave a copy to my Yoga teacher. She plays it during class-Although "Sedona Suite" is "calming", it also can be mood enhancing and energyzing-Multi-purpose-
I also bought "Journey Back to Sedona"-Its okay but, I would say that this is by far Tom Barabas'es best!

Sedona Suite.......2007-01-12

This is by far the best CD ever. We use it everytime we take a trip, it is the "TRIP" CD. The music is beautiful, it fills the air. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get lost in great music.

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-03-26

Luckily this was a gift. No words. Gorgeous new age piano music, very relaxing. I loved it so much I got the sheet music and played it over and over until I got it down. Yanni who? This guy is unique and you will love it. Years later on a trip to Sedona I bought his next album, Journey Back to Sedona, and it was good but nothing compares to this album, if you buy one, buy this one.

Quiet, beautiful music with energy.......2005-10-10

This is my first Tom Barabas CD, and I've since bought "Journey Back to Sedona" as well. The music is quiet and beautiful, yet has a lot of energy to it, especially in the "More than Words", "Free Spirit" and "Moon Dust" tracks.

Old Standards Never Die.......2004-10-29

I'm going to join the group that has had this album around for a long time. It was one of the first tapes I kept in the car as regular background music, and I've probably listened to it so much that I have it memorized. The CD version is in my library, and it still gets dragged out with regularity. Obviously, I like it.

Barabas uses fairly conservative classical music styling in presenting his music, often playing over orchestration. There are occasional similarities to Liszt, and a definite debt to all romantic pianists. Structured, entirely likable, but with nary a hard edge in sight. Barabas is a talented musician, and it shows in his technique more than anywhere else, where he refuses to fall into any typical, new age pattern.

The one flaw is that the music is a bit over-orchestrated and high flown. This are things that only become apparent on repeated, focused listening, and shouldn't interfere in the least with your enjoyment unless you are a purist. I'm not, and think there should be at least one Barabas album in every collection. Sedona Suite would be a good choice.

Something of a "greatest hits" collection, this CD contains several tracks from previous Evenson albums, as well as several new pieces. What sets Sound Healing apart from most recordings of its ilk is that the pieces are musically sound; instead of wandering from place to place, they have a musical starting point and destination, which makes them enjoyable to listen to. Of course, this doesn't detract from Evenson's intended purpose; Sound Healing is an excellent accompaniment to meditation, with its blend of flute, harp, guitar, and natural sounds such as crashing waves and birdcalls. Whether you use them as part of a healing program or just to relax, the gentle melodies and cinematic soundscapes of Sound Healing are an evocative treat. --Genevieve Williams

my new favorite cd. i play it all the time in the background. i have generalized anxiety and it has helped me emensely with calming my breathing and heartbeat. i recommend it highly.

Beautiful, uplifting, peaceful - HIGHLY RECOMMEND.......2005-11-01

I have many "new age" type CDs, from Deuter to Yanni to Liquid Mind. After having Sound Healing for years, I find it stands the test of time - I still LOVE listening to it, it never grows old. It is one of my top two CDs, ever. (The other is Deuter's Wind & Mountain.) It is soft, sweet, with joyful undertones. I would recommend it for anyone, for music to relax to, sleep to, stretch or do yoga to, or just about any other purpose. A friend heard me playing it on my laptop and said, My goodness, that is such beautiful music, what is it? I told her and she got herself a copy right away. Also, it makes a great gift - we got it for our sick grandmother, for her to listen to at night, to help ease her to sleep.

Tom Barabas "Romantic Rhapsodies".......2004-07-05

This smooth, wonderfully interpreted CD turned into my fave CD for relaxing, doing artwork, computer tutorials & gardening. Also, so inspired by him that I bought his sheet music & now play some of his work on piano. This is my 2nd purchase as someone misplaced the first one. A must have for right-brainers.

Magically romantic - no fluff here..........2001-04-26

I have many of Tom's CD's, and finally got around to getting this one - and I waited tooo long! Unlike many of today's 'romantic' pianists around (who do write and play well), Tom Barabas - classically trained with one very creative and passionate mind - is in a league of his own. For those fans of 'Sedona Suite' - you will not be disappointed. He has taken the 'ethereal new age' tone of SS, refined and reshaped it, and wrapped his loving soul into every piece on this beautiful CD. There is a new side of TB that you will hear on this CD, and tracks like 'Moonlight', 'Adagio', 'Epiphany' and 'Dolphin Dream' weave a soothing, at times rhapsodic sound - yet still remain focused on the intent of the pieces - to make you, the listener, feel a sense of joy and uplifting of the spirit.

Tom added some very tasteful - and not overdone - arrangements on many of the tracks. The injection of flute, guitar and synth accent many of the pieces very well. The only negative point is that the second piece ("Shades of Love") didn't seem to fit - a bossa-nova inflected piece that sounded too much like cheap night club music, amidst 9 other *magnificent* piano tracks that take you on one of Tom's best journeys. Not a point that should stop you from adding this CD to your collection today!

Overall, I am in full agreement with the artist himself - it is truly one of his best CD's. I think he opened a door here for 'new age haters' that would have shyed away from his 'Sedona' inspired works, and created a CD of music that anyone would enjoy (without selling out!).

Rhapsodic piano music!.......2000-01-27

The first two tracks of Romantic Rhapsodies gave me the impression that this was going to be a very pleasant smooth jazz album, but it is so much more than that! I have to admit that this is my first Tom Barabas recording, so I apologize to his long-time fans (Barabas has recorded twelve albums to date). However, I will be digging into his other CDs for more! Steeped in classical traditions as well as jazz influences, Barabas has a varied approach to his music, keeping it consistently elegant and sophisticated. Barabas' years at the Liszt Conservatory in Hungary as a child really show! This kind of understanding of the piano and it's capabilities can only come from one who has devoted his or her life to music and the instrument to the point that he or she has become one with it.The first four tracks are beautiful, and I was thoroughly enjoying my initial ride through the album, but the fifth track, Baroque composer Tomas Albioni's "Adagio" really grabbed me. A familiar piece occasionally used in soundtracks, Barabas' treatment simply shimmers! It is primarily a piano piece with background choral and instrumental accompaniment - what a incredible beauty! "Epiphany" is another favorite. It opens with an energetic piano solo as the sax begins to weave its way into the melody. Dark and haunting, I find this piece has an almost ominous quality that I really like - the percussion certainly adds to the drama - and then the dark clouds open to welcome a burst of musical sunshine. This is also a very remarkable piece! "Solar Wind" is piano with synth strings - again, a haunting and incredibly beautiful piece. The last two tracks return to a more upbeat, jazzy feel - especially "Dance Me to Heaven", a light and breezy love song. This is a very strong album from start to finish, but the middle four tracks are incredible! I'm hooked, and look forward to discovering Tom Barabas' other works!

This Dean Evenson release is aptly titled, for Healing Sanctuary is an album one will want to meditate or chill out to by candlelight. While the album consists of eight compositions, they form a unified whole, maintaining a feeling of peace and tranquility throughout this hourlong journey. Evenson's soothing flute leads the way, underscored by his keyboards and accompanied by harpists Dudley Evenson and d'Rachael, with occasional guitar from Scott Huckabay and viola or hammered dulcimer from Phil Heaven. They gracefully weave an aural cocoon out of the ether, opening up a private place for mental and physical relaxation. Such concepts are nothing new to the New Age world, but the lush, inviting soundscapes of Healing Sanctuary maintain their allure and offer therapeutic qualities that many like-minded efforts do not. --Bryan Reesman

Album Description

"Leave your anxiety, tension, stress and fear at the gate and enter a Healing Sanctuary of relaxing and releasing sound in this gorgeous release from mystical flutist, Dean Evenson. In this serene space, personal or even planetary turmoil will lose their grip on the psyche as gentle waves of peace wash over the listener. Flutes, harps, keyboards and guitars gently drift in and out, creating tranquil soundscapes that are perfect for the healing arts, meditation, relaxation and sleep time. From the opening track, the listener is immersed in Peace Like a River and worldly concerns quickly seem to vanish like a distant shoreline, leaving the listener Quietly Floating Home in the soothing sounds and subtle energies of true serenity. In this place of spirit, one can connect to the healing forces of the universe and focus them on the outer world or Mending Your Own Mind, where this release leaves us. Immediately upon hearing Healing Sanctuary, I placed it in the #1 slot of my sleep-time music set, the slot that carries me into dream and I've found it sets the mood for deeply relaxing sleep and expansive dreams. Easily, one of Dean's best works, Healing Sanctuary receives my highest recommendation to all lovers of beautiful and relaxing new age music." -MUSICAL SOUNDSCAPES

At Last, a Peaceful Night.......2003-08-28

Until three days ago I was not a fan of New Age music. I have now ordered another Dean Evenson CD and know I will buy more. I feel strange thanking artists for putting me to sleep, but I want to assure them should they read this that putting this lifelong insomniac to sleep is no small task. The peace I feel when I listen to this music is deep. My mind drifts off into beautiful settings that are first part of waking dreams and then of sleeping ones. The warm tones of the flute and harps are real; so much New Age music is oversynthesized. The artists have created a sanctuary indeed.

I have a habit of playing good music before retiring to bed each night in order to calm myself and clear my head and this is now my current favorite.

Lyrical. Peaceful. Warm. Graceful........2005-04-28

I first heard Tom Barabas on a little known CD called "Piano Portraits" which has become my favorite piano instrumental CD. Finding him again on the "Sedona" CD's, my hopes were very high!

I was not disappointed. His signature style- lyrical, delicate, sweet, and warm - is greatly evidenced in "Journey Back to Sedona."

Tom Barabas drains the sweetness out of every note like sueezing a grape and finding pinot noir.

Nuages is exquisite - lilting and sweetly soaring melody. This
is the most Piano Portraits-like melody. Plaintive. Haunting.
Journey - love the acoustic guitar work - just the right touch
Visions - the piano work on this is very good, love his touch
and timing.
Kaleidoscope is graceful, lyrical and the B-1 organ is a fun
addition to the song
Circle of Friends - Warm and melodious, you can almost see the
fire burning and the sun setting on the deep red mountains
of Sedona.

I really like this collection. Hope it warms your heart, too.

Repeat Success.......2004-11-06

One can't really look at one recording as a sequel to another, but as much as is possible, Journey Back to Sedona is in the same vein as it's predecessor Sedona Suite. Both feature Tom Barabas' piano work, backed by electronics, harp, strings, etc. Surprisingly, the albums do not really sound like one another - even staying in the same genre, Barabas manages to stay original, which is saying a lot.

My favorite on this album is a very fine rendition of After The Rain in which Barabas plays a duet against a horn section. He shows strong classical roots in his performances, carefully avoiding the meandering new age style that is so prevalent. A piece like Visions recalls the traditional concerto form, full of very strong pianism. It is the kind of work that would be just at home on an auditorium stage as it is in my CD player.

This album is a bit better recorded than Sedona Suite, at least to my tastes. It leans less on various tone-processing technologies like reverb, and brings out the acoustic side of the instrument better. But it is still overworked a bit. Barabas' playing is excellent, as is his compositional skill. I can't help but thinking that he would really shine in even the simplest acoustic environment.

But I'm nitpicking. This is a great album to kick back and listen to, with a musical depth that is often missing in contemporary music. I've enjoyed it for years and am quite sure you will too.

Transcending.......2004-05-23

Tom Barabas is a new entry to my collection, and 'Journey Back to Sedona' will be placed in my top 5.

Barabas shows mastery in creating an album that captures your soul, cradling it while being taken on a journey. The masterful work is more the work of movements than song.

The only negative comment to this work is the reproduction. The recording appears to be slightly tainted with EQ problems at the source. The movements lack the spritz of the performance due to muddy lows (or lack thereof) and other mix related issues. Whether this is from mic selection, placement, or studio reference monitors during finalization, it does distract from the master musicianship. If an EQ adjustment is made to account for the muddiness of the piano in 'Journey', then selections later in the album appear to conflict with earlier adjustments. Overall, the mix is comfortable.

The entire album is a joy to listen to. Tom's piano work, along with the accompanying performances of other instrumentalists blend together to create an overall movement worthy of spending hours listening to.

Magical music reminicent of 'Sedona Suite'.......2001-02-15

Without copying 'Sedona Suite', Tom Barabas has created a new set of soothing, spiritually refreshing compositions of music that captures the magic of Sedona without diving into the realms of 'tacky tourist music' that pervades the music one might hear around the shops of Sedona.

Tom is a master at the piano, as he has created several CD's of music that show his impressive talent. This particular CD takes you on yet another trip around the magic that is Sedona, however we do not get a 'Volume 2' - we get some carefully composed works that further capture the magic of Sedona, as well as others that are 'related' (in other words, personal works with the CD), and they stand well on their own despite the association with 'Sedona'. My main point here is that Tom is a great piano player, and his works (as he has proved to date) are well beyond the 'let me play my piano and give you my impression of a rock somewhere' - he is in the leagues of Lanz, Winston and others - he has just not pursued their route to date.

I give an enthusiatic 5 stars for Tom's efforts here, as he creates a magic with his music that is lost amongst many of his 'new age contemporaries'. In other words, he truly blows them away - look out Lanz and others like you, as TB can really play his piano!

Deeply Relaxing.......2007-05-11

I'm a yoga teacher who teaches a very nurturing practice called Restorative/Therapeutic Yoga. I use this cd each time i conduct a class, workshop or individual session and find that students are able to really "drop down" into their bodies and let day-to-day life fall away. Highly recommended.

This CD will move you down to your soul!.......2006-12-02

I don't usually write reviews, but this CD really stands out and deserves high marks. Once I listened to the sample tracks, I just had to buy it (I even got one as a Christmas gift for a relative). I was surprised at how deeply the music on this disc touched me. I received it today, and couldn't wait to play it - I wasn't disappointed! It is beautifully done! I have heard other singing bowl CDs, but they are almost too overpowering. This CD has just the right combination of music, and is the most relaxing and peaceful thing I've heard in a long time. The flute, bells, and ocean sounds, in combination with the singing bowls, just melts all the stress of the day away.
I can't wait to listen to it with earphones!
You won't be disappointed with the CD - it's wonderful!
ENJOY! :o)

Truly magical.......2006-08-20

Unlike many new age music which sends you out of the body on melodic fantasies , these compositions bring you deep peace while allowing you to stay present in your body. Anynone who has not heard tibetan bowls before will undoubtely be touched by their multiple sounds and out of range vibrations which are designed to allow humans to experience their divinity within.

Extremely Meditative Music for all the Chakras.......2006-04-18

Golden Spa Tones takes me to a deep space where I can let go of any thoughts and completely relax. The resonant tones of the Tibetan bowls take one on a journey through all the chakras. The deep base tones touch a place deep inside and the higher bowls and flutes lift the spirit. Highly recommended for all healing modalities, yoga and meditation.
