The feeling I got when I first listened to this CD was awesome.My Art teacher was playing it and it made me just feel as though I was in a happy familiar place.It helps me to get to sleep with it's beautiful, haunting sounds and easy segues between tracks.One of my favorite meditation CDs
I have owned this CD for a couple of years, and never tire of hearing its soothing, calming, meditative sound.
