Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Enya

Release Date November 11, 1997
My grandson does not just fall asleep when I'm watching him. He is either teething or just plain fussy at times. I had just bought Enya's Paint the Sky with Stars and decided to play it for him. It instantly calms him down as he really pays attention to the music. In a very short time, he is peacefully sleeping. I've tried other music, including classical. It just does not relax him. I absolutely love her music! When I'm trying to do homework, I used to listen to classical music because there were no words to interfere with my concentration. When I listen to Enya, I don't have that problem. I'm totaly focused and able to accomplish a lot!

Beyond

Release Date May 20, 2008
I thought this product wasn't as good as his other cd, "Within". For some reason, "Within" reached home for me, this 1 did not. I think it's because, there was only 2 or 3 songs that got to me. Where as on "Within" the whole cd, got to me. However, he is an excellent composer, I would try his new products when they come out. I use his music to relax, and do my college, homework. Nearing 40, you do what you have to, to open your mind. This works for me.William Joseph - Within

Secret Voyage

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Blackmore's Night

Release Date July 15, 2008
Blackmore's Night has carved out a pretty decent specialty niche...call it "Renaissance Rock". There are other groups who try to do this type of music, but most of them lack the sheer unadulterated talent that Ritchie Blackmore and Candace Night bring to the table.

This CD is great. It's not as good as "Fires At Midnight", but it's better than "Village Lanterne" and "Ghost Of a Rose".

My favorite tracks on this CD are "Locked Within the Crystal Ball" and "Sister Gypsy".

My niece says she wants to be Candace Night when she grows up (smile)!

An Ancient Muse

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Loreena McKennitt

Release Date November 21, 2006
I always liked Loreena McKennitt, but it wasn't until I saw her "Nights of the Alhambra" DVD that I became a real fan. Prior to that, I was attracted by her beautiful voice and her haunting arrangements of traditional Celtic music. But after seeing "Alahambra", I realized that she also plays several instruments with virtuousity, and is a great performer! Now, when I listen to her new Ancient Muse DVD, I get more out of it, because it recalls the concert and makes the experience a (virtual) visual as well as an audio treat!

The Secret Universal Mind Meditation

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Kelly Howell

Release Date December 15, 2006
The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it is too "God" oriented. I'm a nonbeliever. It was difficult for me to listen to all the references about God and how there is no imperfect thing. If there is no imperfect thing then why are children raped and murdered? There are too many atrocities for me to think of this as a perfect world with perfect people. However, Kelly does try to instill a sense of compassion and love for others and I admire her for that. I think our society would be a better place to live if more people listened with an open heart to this CD. The day after my first use my husband was much more cooperative with me. It was really weird. I don't know if the CD has somehow made a change in me that has caused him to do things I ask or what...All ... Read More:

Indigo Dreams: Relaxation and Stress Management Bedtime Stories for Children, Improve Sleep, Manage Stress and Anxiety (Indigo Dreams)

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Lori Lite

Release Date October 17, 2006
My son is Autistic, and he loved the first CD in this series when I ordered it for him on a whim. The stories have helped teach him to let go of his anger, and by playing them at night when he's had a particularly overwhelming day I find him having more and more Good mornings. After story time I step out of the room and can hear him following the steps of what are guided meditations for children. Any of the CD's in this series are good. Some are geared a little more toward girls overall, but they all have something for all children. My son's favorite story disc is the one with the Angry Octopus. With the help of these CD's he truly understands now that he has control over his own emotions.

Getting Unstuck: Breaking Your Habitual Patterns & Encountering Naked Reality

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Pema Chodron

Release Date November 30, 2004
This CD set is taken from a series of classes given by Pema Chodron to help us to understand that we can have some control over the thoughts and emotions that enter our minds. Although meditation is the primary tool used by Buddhists to be become of aware of and work with thoughts and emotions, the information given by Pema Chodron is not specific to meditation. We all have trouble dealing with our emotions at times, and these teachings help us to see what it is that we are dealing with and offers advise on how to deal with our emotions. I don't meditate, but I found the information to be very useful and I believe it can be of benefit to everyone. Pema Chodron speaks in a very accessable manner and uses stories and humor to illustrate her teachings, making it very ... Read More:

Indigo Ocean Dreams: 4 Children's Stories Designed to Decrease Stress, Anger and Anxiety while Increasing Self-Esteem and Self-Awareness (Indigo Dreams)

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Lori Lite

Release Date October 17, 2006
This cd is a miracle. I have a four year old and a six year old who have a very difficult time falling asleep and allowing themselves to relax. It is a struggle every night. If I didn't see this for myself, I would have never believed it. Within ten minutes, both of my children were fast asleep. Lori's voice is very relaxing and I can't wait to order another cd.
