There is a scientific principle called entrainment. If two items are vibrating side by side at different speeds then the item that vibrates at the lower speed will adjust to vibrate at the same frequency as the other object.
Examples of this are swings in a playground that are swinging out of sync and adjust. Also, in a clock store you may notice the pendulum clocks of the same size swinging back and forth in unison.
Applied to sound your different chakras or energy points vibrate at different frequencies and notes vibrating at a specific rate for a prolonged period will cause your energy points to reattune themselves, and bring your chakras back into balance, and promote a sense of well being and peace.
This cd applies these principles using swirling harmonics and overtones and beautiful instrumental sounds such as chimes and bowls including the rhodes piano to create an atmospheric sound.
I can feel the musical vibrations resonate thoroughout my body, and I certainly do feel more relaxed even after a short listen.
This record has been rated as groundbreaking by New Age Voice.
I highly recommend it. If you wer to find this review helpful, please click yes.
Puts me to sleep (but that's a good thing) May 13, 2004

I have trouble staying asleep some nights, and I've recently found that certain types of music or sounds can put me in a relaxed state. Steven Halpern's "Chakra Suite" is one of the best for this purpose. The chakra suite is supposed to be used to meditate on each of the seven chakras or power centers of the body. I am not one who meditates, on chakras or other things, but if you do meditate, this is supposed to be a good aid to focus one's energy and concentration. The bonus on this CD is the "Spectrum Suite" and another bonus, Sonic Satori thath is supposed to use the power of sonic entrainment. a psycho-acoustic technology with an effect on brainwaves.The music involves notes with 8 cycles per second, which is said to synch the brain to relaxed brain waves, for example:
Alpha - 8-12 CPS (associated with relaxed, calm, and creative waking state)
Theta - 5-7 CPS (associated with dreams, suggestive states, hypnagogic states)
Delta - 1-4 CPS (associated with deep, dreamless sleep) Whatever the effect, I find playing one of the suites as I lie in bed, relaxes me to the point where I drop off easily. I also like it for a quick relaxation break during a stressful, long day.
Beyond incredible!! August 19, 2004

This is HANDS DOWN the BEST meditation CD I have. It's absolutely incredible. From the first note it instills a beautiful peacefulness that is unmatched by any other music out there. The music is clean and has an immediate purifying effect. It is absolutely a pleasure to listen to actively or just let it fade into the background and relax the entire atmosphere. When this CD is on, I can completely melt into just being and enjoy every moment of it. It helps me meditate if I choose to, it helps me fall asleep if I choose to. I will also try to use it when needing to concentrate to study -- the effect of the music is so purifying and cleansing that it leaves you relaxed and refreshed and ready to face whatever comes your way. This was the first CD I bought by Steven Halpern, and it has impressed me so much I am now looking for all of his CDs. You won't regret buying this one!!

I have listened to many different "chakra balancing" CDs, but this is the only recording where I have actually distinctly felt the sounds or appropriate chakras resonating the exact chakra spots - I could feel, without wondering if anything is happening, the sound vibrating in my body right where it's supposed to have an effect - so for that purpose, this is my favorite CD.
A Divine Attraction to this CD April 3, 2005

When I purchased this CD in a store, I was a attracted to it's cover art and the fact it worked with one's chakras. Not realizing it, when I was becoming attuned for level 2 reiki with a reiki master, this was the CD she used on me for all 5 sessions. Six months after those sessions I purchased this CD. For the past year I have listened to this CD nearly every night, on repeat. I bring it to work to relax and destress to whenever I have a break. It is just amazing. It is my number one CD to listen to. My friends have really enjoyed this CD when they listen to it, and whenever I work on somebody for energy healing / relaxation with Reiki they love this CD as well.
I have purchased two other CD's by Steven Halpern and thoroughly enjoy them too ("Self-Esteem" & "Music for Healing Mind, Body & Soul").
You will want to carry this CD around with you everywhere, even put it onto your IPod or any other MP3 player to listen to whereever you may go.
