Self-Healing With Sound & Music 
asked by anexpert on November 29, 2006 7:21 AM
Sound therapy has been found effective in treating a surprising range of health challenges including heart disease, arthritis, stress, emphysema, and more. On Self-Healing with Sound and Music, bestselling author and physician Dr. Andrew Weil teams up with sound therapist Kimba Arem to offer listeners a powerful new tool for healing on two CDs.
On CD 1, Dr. Weil discusses the latest in medical research that demonstrates how music heals the body and mind. CD 2 gives listeners a complete "sound journey" into expanded states of consciousness optimized for healing. Through an integration of binaural beats, natural sounds, indigenous and classical instruments - and a state-of-the-art recording process called "holophonic technology" that creates a three-dimensional healing space - listeners experience "prescription strength music" with the power to influence every system of the body.

I hate New Age music if it uses a lot of synthesized sounds and tries to sound like it's coming from outer space.
I like music that is played on real instruments, and I don't mind if it inocorporates sounds from nature, along with it.
This music is very relaxing and very natural and real sounding. That is because it IS real. It uses various acoustic instruments which are played in a way that creates a very soft, relaxing environment which is conducive to meditation and relaxation.
Unfortunately the music is only on Disc TWO.
The first disc consists of Dr. Andrew Weil and the musician here (Kimba Arem) talking about sound therapy and the physics of sound, and meditation with Om type sounds, and so on. It's interesting, but not terribly enlightening and you've probably heard it all before if you've read much new age therapy material.
To me, this should only have been a single cd, the music cd. I think it was a way of Arem getting herself introduced to a wider audience, and Dr. Weil lending his "seal of approval" to this music and musician.
Either way, at least they did come up with one really great music album, (which Weil has nothing to do with, other than to introduce it and endorse it), and this makes me want to hear more of Kimba Arem's music.

I have used this CD many times for relaxation and
healing while recovering from recent surgery. It
never fails to put me into a deep sleep.

The relaxing music on this CD is pretty unique. It utilizes exotic instruments and it seems to me it is being played very much from the heart. I often use this CD when doing yoga or meditating.
The first CD which contains a lecture is not nearly as interesting. It is somewhat entertaining, but after you have heard it one or two times you probably won't want to listen to it again. Although Dr. Weil is a physician, a lot of what he says in this CD is speculative and some of the conclusions he draws are a real stretch for me.
