IPhone 3G used's review (Very interesting) 『A silo for weapon storage is transformed in a chamber for sacred sound. This very idea is really original and holds great potentials. The music is definitely not easy-listening. It reminds of a chamber music for viola and violoncello, only played with didjeridoo. It's clear that the musicians know about the use of music for light and deep meditation.』
(A colossal accomplishment and wonderful CD) 『"The Eternal Presence" not only appeals to listeners who have a passion for the haunting sounds of the didjeridu, but to all listeners who want to experience something quite unique and magical.
Quality recording in a reverberant tunnel can be challenging at best, if not impossible, but this CD captures the essence of exactly what the musicians experienced, and transports the listener into the experience and beyond. While the disc will take the listener into another realm, whether listening intently or meditating, it definitely won't put you to sleep...on the contrary, it seems to heighten and awaken the senses.
The recording quality and musicianship are top notch, as sounds intricately weave in, out, around, and through the listener. Repeated listenings always offer something new to be heard. While the tunes evoke an ethereal quality, they are all unique and distinct, and as a few songs really get rocking, they still maintain the continuity and balance that the musicians strove for.
Great for a long drive in the car, or at home alone or with friends, The Eternal Presence will soon have an eternal slot in your CD tray, and with a pair of headphones it's a whole new experience, as the post production work of the artists really shines. A highly recommended "must have" CD.』

(A beautiful recording of an extraordinary performance) 『I was fortunate enough to attend the performance that accompanied this recording, and would not have expected that a recording of that music could have captured the awe and mystery invoked by the space and the musicians that evening. I am therefore delighted to find that the CD is every bit as momentous and spine-tingling as was the concert.
What sets this music apart from similarly "trancendental", ethereal recordings is, well, that this is really music: each piece has a distinct character, and the personalities of the four musicians shine through their performances. While the sound certainly invokes a meditative, relaxed state, it is constantly evolving, and stands up to serious, repeated listening.
You don't need to know anything about the didjeridu to appreciate the performances. But, the added fact that all the sounds you hear are coming from some of the oldest instruments known to man -- as beautifully crafted by two of the musicians (Barry Hall and Jusse Nayeli) out of ceramic and agave cactus -- adds to the magic. It's sometimes difficult to believe that the range of tones is coming from just the four musicians, with no electronics or effects beyond the natural reverberance of the tunnel in which they played.
All in all, I highly recommend the album, both as accompaniment for the sorts of focused activities the title suggests, and as simply great music.』
『The Eternal Presence brings together four didjeridu virtuosos from around the globe to perform new compositions in a richly resonant natural setting. The resulting CD is an extended, continuous cycle of eleven interwoven compositions that takes the listener on a journey through landscapes that are ethereal, introspective and invigorating. This makes it an ideal accompaniment for meditation and "deep listening", as well as a wonderful tool to enhance yoga, massage or other body and healing work.
The Eternal Presence CD bears the aural signature of its remarkable recording location - a richly reverberant stone tunnel perched at the peak of the Marin highlands, high above the Pacific Ocean, the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. The tunnel was built during World War II as part of a military seacoast fortification, but abandoned shortly thereafter as its weaponry became obsolete. Transformed by the dense quiet of the night into a cathedral-like chamber for sacred sound, the tunnel becomes one of the players, contributing a powerful resonance that shapes every note of the performance.
The didjeridu (or didgeridoo) is an instrument originating from Australian Aboriginal culture that has spread around the world due to its evocative sound and expressive capabilities. In this recording, new ground is explored as multiple didjeridus are used to create harmonic combinations that evoke a wide range of emotions. For example, "Eternal Octavos" utilizes three octaves of instruments to produce an intensely focused sound with rich overtones, while "Primal Cycle" uses the musical "circle of fifths" to create a tonal center that is ambiguous yet strangely grounded. Other tracks on the CD explore different combinations, and all are interwoven into a continuous, organic 70-minute listening experience.』

Absolutely perfect for the end of a long day, I highly recommend this album for anyone needing some R&R. Also check out the first of these two Musical Healing albums.』
(Top-notch sooth-ability!) 『Throughout this immeasurably relaxing album are the predominant natural sounds of both water and birdsong that get supported by an assortment of gentle keyboard instrumentations. From Ashron's singing bowls to Scholl's spacescape, from Shajan's pouring rain stick to the Gordon's bird and waterscapes, all lend the listener to a perfect blend of sound for bathing the mind and soothing the spirit. Sophia has the only track with vocals, but its ethereal voices are so sweet one forgives the gentle intrusion. In all, this is the Gordon's most relaxing and rewarding album for letting go. Top-notch sooth-ability!』

As the years passed, I learned that playing music would help me not only to fall asleep more easily but also to stay asleep (or to easily return to sleep if I awoke during the night). Therefore, I am always looking for 'sleeping' music...music that relaxes not only the body but also the mind! This CD has been wonderful!

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Genuine and Unique) 『I saw this product featured as "New and Notable"- the combination of sounds in this recording, Thunderstorm, Chimes, and Ocean Waves captured my attention.
Recently I've been reading about the experience of "Nada" during Meditation. Nada is defined as Spontaneous inner sounds that may be heard during advanced stages of meditation; nada may take the form of sounds such as bells, blowing of the conch, sound of the ocean and thunder.
Immediately I got so excited with this idea. Perhaps this is the reason why when we are in the presence and magnificence of Nature we immediately feel content, happy, peaceful and at ease. This feeling always arises from a deep space or experience within.
There is something magical about standing in the middle of a thunderstorm, something very special about meditating or sitting quietly by the Ocean. It is as if the sounds of Nature evoke the inner experience of deep meditation, of Nada Meditation, very naturally and effortlessly.
I found this excerpt and might be helpful: "Metaphysically, the mystic sounds of the Eternal, of which the highest is the transcendent or Soundless Sound, Paranada, the first vibration from which creation emanates. Paranada is so pure and subtle that it cannot be identified to the denser regions of the mind. From Paranada comes Pranava, Aum, and further evolutes of nada. These are experienced by the meditator as the nadanadi shakti, "the energy current of sound," heard pulsing through the nerve system as a constant high-pitched hum, much like a Tamboura, a swarm of bees or a shruti box. Listening to the inner sounds is a contemplative practice, called nada upasana, "worship through sound," nada anusandhana, "cultivation of inner sound," or nada yoga." I think this label might me on to something. As I browse I see there are a few recordings out on the basis of "Nada" or sounds for deep meditation and deep relaxation. Such asTambouraChanting Omamongst others.
This recording is beautifully done. I find that the sounds help my mind become more still and content within itself. Therefore I can sit quietly for a longer period of time.
I am grateful to see this label doing their homework. They are coming out with innovative products that are not only genuinely helpful but reflect the wisdom and power within this ancient practices and cultures. 』
(High quality recording, creates beautiful atmosphere at home) 『The quality of the recording is A+ I love to play this at home, it creates a warm atmosphere at home without having to spend all the money a high quality chime would cost.
Also I like to use it for meditation of course, since the two tracks are nice and long. My favorite track to meditate with is the one with the ocean waves and the chimes and the thunderstorm. Really primal and beautiful.』
(Very soothing and healing) 『These are seriously good chimes, the notes are tuned perfectly with each other creating a wonderful tapestry of sound. I love to lay down and simply let the vibrations wash over me. I feel the sounds are very healing. Also it is good for meditation practice.』 『This powerful recording from Music for Deep Meditation features the healing sound of deep resonant chimes paired with the gentle roar of ocean waves and thunder. Ideal for sleep, meditation, and relaxation, this recording is an exploration of primal simplicity.
This is a very special recording, ideal for meditation. Let the sound of deep resonant chimes accompanied with the awe inspiring vibrations of rain, thunder and ocean waves, fill your body and mind with stillness and well being.
In combination with the sounds of breaking surf, you will find the chimes to be instantly relaxing. Each Music for Deep Meditation CD is made with the utmost purity and integrity of sound, creating vehicles that are truly inducive for meditation and deep relaxation. We invite you to explore each one.
