"I'm a busy person in Corporate America working around 60 hours a week. I try to ‘steal' some time to meditate but when I do, I am usually bothered by pulling myself out of meditation in order to watch the clock. With your [Essential Awareness] CD, I was able to go deeply into meditation during the entire time knowing that the bowl sounds would alert me when it was time to go."

"I use ESSENTIAL AWARENESS as a way of centering during the day. I start with my own personal way of centering and, as the tone sounds throughout the day, I always smile and take a moment to go inside and make sure I'm connected to my center. It's a wonderful way to help facilitate a beautiful flow throughout the day."

We are regularly using your music as part of a therapy program for troubled teenagers who are battling a variety of problems, from drug addictions, violence, and abuse survival to ADD and self esteem issues. The program very successfully combines Qigong, Yoga, Acupuncture, Herbal Therapy, Aromatherapy, and Music therapy to assist these young people in turning their lives around.

We experimented with many different music styles, including Five Element Music, which is used in Traditional Chinese Hospitals as adjunct therapy, German composer Peter Huebner’s “Medical Resonance Therapy Music”, Tibetan throat singing, and Steven Halpern’s crystal bowl and chakra healing sounds.

The effects we are getting with your music are unparalleled. We are predominantly using the fast and rhythmic pieces during the acupuncture sessions, played at a fairly high volume with a potent subwoofer to generate noticeable vibrations.

The resulting trance state seems to significantly enhance the effects of some of the acupuncture protocols, helping our young patients in reconfiguring themselves.

The mental silence after the treatment is pronounced, leaving the patients not just ‘spaced out’ or unfocused, but simply more silent and at ease.

As an added bonus, the kids seem to absolutely love your music and keep asking for it themselves.

This is truly amazing work! Thank you so much for your obviously impeccable intent. There is really nothing else like it.

"The sound quality of the bowl is amazingly present. It sounds as if it is in the room with me, not just emanating out of the speakers. I found the Essential Awareness CD to be a very gentle and continuous reminder to bring the attention back to the breath - back to the present moment.”

I am an Integrative Breathwork Practitioner in Florida and I hold workshops often. I thank you so much for the music that you have produced! Your music has helped so many of my clients and attendees reach altered states that have connected them to their innate healer within. No other music has as much to offer as yours! Your work is reaching many in my little sphere of influence, and has helped them release trauma, cellular memories, and toxic stuff and helped them strengthen their connection to Self and Spirit. I offer thanks and gratitude at every workshop......hope you can feel it.
