"The hidden secret in this music is balm to the soul" writes one of many UK
therapists who use the album as an aid to relaxation and meditation. Some of the
music on the album was used in a pilot study at Bristol Cancer Help Centre, UK, and
results showed listeners experiencing an increased sense of well-being and
relaxation and a significant drop in tension. A physiological test also showed
significantly increased levels of salivary IgA (which is an indicator of immune
status) and measured decreased levels of cortisol (a stress indicator), marking
relaxation and improved mood.
Comments from patients included the following:
"The power of the music uplifted the spirit"
"I felt totally at peace"
"Music to feed the soul and fortify the body"
"The power of the music to disarm and enter people, to lift up their spirits and make them whole is amazing."
