"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."

Superb

"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."

Try to stay awake with this music...

"Mesmerizing ringing tones mingle with deep earth vibrations. A voice echoes in a underground cave and appears and disappears. The vibrations all seem to be felt in my head as the ringing sounds capture my full attention.



This seems to be designed so you are paying full attention at the start and then the music sinks you into a deep relaxed state where you may even fall asleep. What this actually feels like is your mind riding waves of energy into a state of complete soul harmony.
