Peaceful Music for Sleep [CD]
by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson
Dr. Jeffrey Thompson is one of the leading pioneers sound wave healing innovation, establishing his own center for the study of the way sound waves promote specific mental states, the Center for Neuroacoustic Research in Encinitas, California. Thompson's studies reveal that for every emotional state- calm, peaceful relaxation or hyper flight-or-fight, there is an accompanying range of brainwaves, and these can be influenced and entrained through exposure to sympathetic sound, our unconscious sensing vibrations and re-aligning themselves, the way for example two swinging pendulums will pick up on each other until they're swinging exactly alike. In the case of Peaceful Music for Sleep, the result is just what the title implies. Using cooling, soothing delta wave frequencies- the waves of deep sleep and relaxation in the brain-the music lulls and relaxes while subliminal signals tell the unconscious mind it can hang up its guns, move out of fight-or-flight mentality and into the deep calm that preceded good, healthy sleep.
The disc contains an hour long track, called "Stratus," which starts with an eloquent and subtly cycling melody for piano and flute with an underlying almost subliminally lighter underlying electric piano, and gradually expands outwards to include gentle electric guitar arpeggios and beautiful synth notes coasting overhead, and all throughout and consciously imperceptible delta waves that create a whole field of inner stars projected against your eyelids as you slowly fall asleep.
There's no need to worry what happens later along in this track, no reason to feel bad if you never quite get to the ending. It's something to be tuned into only to drift off as the melodic structure changes just enough to keep it from getting repetitive, not enough to make you wake up and take notice. A perfect gift for that sleepless someone, Peaceful Music For Sleep is as friendly and soothing as its colorful cover art suggests, lulling and entrancing and allowing even the most stressed and weary minds the audio equivalent of a friendly blanket and giant comforting lap to fall asleep on. Thompson's subtly moving music and exquisitely simple touch will have you waking up refreshed and rejuvenated, after a night of full, enriching dreams and not a care in the world as you shift into another productive, hopeful day.
