"I believe I have been a customer of Amazon since its inception, yet this is the first review I have ever felt compelled to write. Due to numerous issues, my wife and I have had much experience with sound healing and meditation CD's, and while they have had a nice melody and the encouraging lyrics, they always lacked something and after listening to Dr. Gaynor's CD I now know what that something was - SOUL. This CD will touch your heart; it feels to me like a warm hug of light. I encourage you to EXPERIENCE this CD, not simply listen but open yourself to it's message. The words and melodies of each track will find a home within your heart. My experience, by listening to this CD, has been that the "noise" in the back of my mind has quieted and been replaced by these wonderful chants which have created a platform of serenity through which growth and health can be achieved."
Chanting, Tibetan Bowls: Instant Healing Peace!

"Some things you "just know." I can literally feel my cells healing
and balancing when I listen to this music. This music sounds good, feels
good, and is amazing in its ability to put me back "on track".
Includes an interesting dissertation on the medical and positive
aspects of musical healing by Dr. Gaynor as well.
Uses crystal and tibetan bowls, beautiful chants, to create a whole
world around of you peace and tranquility. It is truly uplifting!

"The vocals are not chantlike. They are closer to spoken word with a musical prop. After the written description and 16-minute narrated introduction, this left a constant sense of disorientation throughout listening to each track. The vocals are too often unintelligible. If that isn't supposed to matter it wasn't mentioned, and contrasts annoyingly with occasionally clear vocals. Mumbling rather than chanting is annoying. Usually where the vocals were clear enough to understand, they were too loud and the music could not be heard. Throughout it was impossible to decide if the vocals were meant to be comprehensible or just part of a sound effect. If intended to be a sound effect, it didn't work.
If an overall relaxing effect was intended to be the primary focus, the pop-like vocals prevented that. This music reminds me of ego trips and belly dancing instead of deep relaxation.
Some sounds seem poorly misplaced and some are just too loud and disruptive. Musical exclamation points do not promote relaxation for me.
The oral written introduction is appreciated, but perhaps should be presented differently since hearing it every time the CD is played is a bit much. An accurate written presentation might have prevented these disappointments for me. As it is, it won't find much use here next to more appropriate relaxation music and sounds."
