Singing Bowls of Shangri-La

This CD is not music in the usual sense ....it is a soundscape of healing vibrations. I really think the composer,Thea Surasu, knows his stuff. My wife and I meditate twice a day. We usually listen to it while meditating in the afternoons. I find that it really helps me focus, and cut out some of that constant mental chatter which is so distracting. Thank you Thea.

A used CD like new... Thank You... Awesome! =-)

I recomend this cd very highly to those that are really into meditation

enjoying rest and relaxation!!thanks for fast delivery

Beautiful sound of peace

I recieved this CD recently, and i am very happy with it. Thea Surasu has done an absolutely wonderful job of keeping the sound continuously beautiful and calming, unlike some other so called "meditation" recordings i have heard. This CD puts me into a state of deep relaxation, and i have noticed that i loose all track of time. I would recomend following the suggestion in the liner notes about listening simultaneously on headphones and speakers. Just make sure that the volume of either one is not so high that you can't hear the other, and also that when the headphones are on your ears, you can still hear the speakers through them. This adds wonderful depth to the sound, and really enhances the effect. The harmonic overtones of the bowls are wonderful, and sometimes concentrating on one of them is all i need to relax. Thea also does a great job with timing the strokes of the bowls and continuous harmonics with changes at the right time. In the course of the symphony, you will feel that there are certain sounds that really aid in concentration, and Thea dwells on them for the appropriate period of time. Overall a very well done work! Thanks Thea!

The strength of this CD is its purity - there are no other instruments used on this recording. Only the sounds of Singing Bowls. However, as much as Thea Surasu allows the vibration of the Singing Bowls to stretch out to a complete fade away, there are large gaps of silence between bowl sounds. These gaps often exceed about 30 seconds or longer, and they are frequent - Just when I get to the point that I am used to the singing bowl vibrations, they stop. Just when I get used to the silence, it stops. The back-and-forth keeps me from being able to meditate with these sounds.The vibrations of the bowls is stretched out to such an extent that only about 10% of the sound comes through the 6-speaker audio in my car! Thus, don't expect much from this CD unless you have a good-quality stereo.So, it's no good in the car, and doesn't work for me in mediation. ... Frankly, I expected more from Steven Halpern!

Incredible healing sounds, almost as good as the real thing. Listening to this when falling asleep gives a wonderful peaceful night.

This is absolutely fabulous!!! It's helping to heal myself, the house and all the animals and plants within. I should have bought this years ago!

VERY HAPPY WITH PURCHASE AND DELIVERED ON TIME

Just as expected - great for relaxation. And meditation
