Delicate and lacey, like floating downstream with a forest canopy overhead - this music will take you away to a place of serenity and silence.

There is a charming innocence and simplicity to this music that invokes a quiet stillness. As I listened to this album, I found that it triggered memories and images from my childhood of warm summer nights catching fireflies in jars with other neighborhood children. Throughout this album, there are various nature sounds from birds to water with a lot of piano and flute. This album would be good as environmental background music for those who work in the healing modalities, such as massage or Reiki.

It is a well-known fact that music can nourish our souls and Spirit. In "Musical Healing" each composition is devoted to creating a meditative, relaxing state of being. Gentle, soft melodies nurture our weary ears, penetrating deeply beyond our senses, caressing our psyches and accessing the shadows of our subconscious. Music is truly the universal communicative, transcending all limitations of boundaries, affecting the very core of our existence. Great attention is being paid to cater musically to that sacred place within us, lightly removing layers of stress and anxiety built up over the years of gathering unwanted tensions. Floating synthesizer notes, ethereal strings, enchanting flutes, natural recorded sounds and soulful vocal chants combine to work their magic. Sit back, put your feet up, breathe slowly and deeply, and travel to the core of the love and light that we are. I just can't get enough of that feeling.

This is great music for not only the body but the soul. These serene sounds include music created with voice, flute, harp, piano, guitar and lush nature sounds. "Monet's Garden, Part II" has a bit of bird calls as the main atmosphere mixed with harp and other instrumentation. "Secret Fountain" is composed of what sounds like a babbling brook, pan flute, bells, chimes and harp.
The third track takes us to the wonderful vocals of Stephanie as heard on the Fairy Heart Magic CD. Her voice is nearly angelic, especially when combined with Celtic harp. "Twin Souls" is from a new Sequoia artist, Solaria. A very soothing and unique blend of guitar and harp which I hope to hear more from in the future.
The Gordons' works as well as those of their fellow labelmates continue to enchant throughout the disc. The Sophia track is comprised of piano and voice with what sounds like a quietly played sitar or similar instrument in the background along with tiny bells. Beautiful! "Dusk" is a combination of the birds of nature and piano mostly.
I love the flute used on "Ancient Power". It gives it an overall Native American feel but very ethereal in texture. The Zingaia track "Breath of Passion" is from their first release Beneath the Veil and while completely different from their most recent release reveals a bit of India's texture with a beautifully ambient soundscape. I love their use of finger cymbals and string instruments, hand drums and synthesizers.Something about "Healing Passage" reminds me of medieval music with environments that I can't quite place. "Waves of Bliss" is very spacey, while "Healing Ocean" is pure ambience.
Sequoia has put together a relaxing volume comprised of their best artists though this release doesn't even begin to reveal the capabilities of these artists. However I do believe that the tracks chosen very closely follow the theme of this release. Overall this creates a very gentle compilation of music which you will find very useful for the purposes described by the label. This is a wonderful collection of inspiring meditation music!
