Description
Experience progressive muscle relaxation through guided imagery as only Kathleen Swann can present it in "Seasons of Serenity". Listen to the gentle music as her soothing voice helps you drift off to sleep. There are NO subliminal messages here. Swann empowers you to remain in control, developing a strong mind-body connection.
The melodies created by Ken Kaufman complement the spoken word performance of Kathleen Swann. Kaufman has captured sounds from around the world. Native American rhythms resonate with his use of electric piano, harp, temple blocks, recorder, and strings. Ken's artistry comes alive with piano, bass strings, and oboe in his original compositions. Strings, Kyoto, and Machu pitchu bring out the Oriental flavor. And electric piano, xylophone, bass, shakers, guitar, strings and flute help put you in a tropical mood. These songs stand alone brilliantly in the instrumental version, "Rhythms of the World".
We hope you enjoy the International flare of the new age music presented by Relax with Swann.
Testimonials
E.B. of Pennsylvania writes: "While in delivery, my wife stayed completely calm. We listened to your CDs at least 10 times while we were there. They kept both of us so calm. Unfortunately, we were there, in the delivery room for 18.5 hours. We would have been miserable without those soothingunds. We still listen to the CDs. Our son falls asleep to them every night. Thanks so much."
Rambles' Valerie Frankel captures the essence of Seasons of Serenity: "...Kathleen Swann describes scenery that must be visualized, from sunsets to rainfal...While music assists Swann with sound, she also describes sights, smells, the feel of the rain on skin and so much more...Swann's calm voice and repeated urges to 'let go' blend perfectly with the music, in the self-directed meditation."
True Music Reviews of Australia published this, "Kathleen's voice is soothing and relaxing as she guides you through moments of emotions and does this with the use of spoken word. The experience Kathleen has acquired through her nursing career definitely is delivered through her tone and guidance in the music ... extremely calming..."
