"I don't claim to know anything about brain waves, or how they can be effected and enhanced by music, but i can say that this cd is esthetically gorgeous! I am a writer - ususly terrified of writing - but by playing this cd i am able to relax and allow ideas to flow effortlessly. I highly recommend it - and go straight to the cut: 'creativity'. you will find, as I did, that the soothing tones are most effective and enjoyable. I don't know what it's doing to me, but I like it!"

Very Pretty, Somewhat effective

"This music is really beautiful and relaxing. Having said that, I would suggest that this not be your FIRST step into enhancing your creativity. Read a book such as Stephen Nachmanovitch's "Free Play" or Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way" if you want to learn more about what it means to know yourself through art.
Those already following the path could take or leave this CD. The music is soothing and quite pretty. As for the messages, I believe that, for average people, subliminal suggestion is most effective under the following conditions:1. Early Morning
2. After Meditation
3. While falling asleep.
4. When Listened to every day, preferable at the same time
5. When listened to in conjunction with conscious affirmation.
If followed in this way, it is likely that you will see some results. Whether these results are any better than conscious affirmation or simply intending creativity is hard to say. I leave it up to you."

Great Cd puts me in a theta comfort zone

"When I listen to this CD I just want to curl up with a an old friend of mine-a worn, well loved stuffed animal of mine. This is embarssing to admit but this CD is so comforting it makes me feel safe as a little kid ( maybe am tapping into the inner child all those self help guru's are talking about? Hmm..maybe.) This CD has helped me get in touch with a side of myself I thought I had left abandoned by life's road side years ago. Memories that I had forgotten have surfaced while listening to this CD and helped build a bridge between the adult me of now and the child me who I was then.
If you want music that helps you get back to parts of yourself you disconnected from and help intergrate those parts back into you so you can have a richer, more meaningful, more creative experience as an adult you might want to give this CD a whirl, in my opinion this is a great CD for that."
