Are you a fearful flyer? Relief is on the way! Flycalm, with words by Steven Leeds and Music by Steven Halpern (Musick International), is an audio program designed to reduce the stress and anxiety of flying. If you can't pry your fingers off the armrest of your plane seat, you might want to get a copy of Flycalm. Against a background of calming music, Shannon White's beautiful voice guides you through a relaxation exercise, and then into an experience combining Ericksonian hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, mindfulness meditation, and sound healing. The result will release every bit of tension in your body. This CD is part of a series that includes other titles in the Mindcalm series, Medcalm programs for Maternity, Chemotherapy, General Wellness, and General Relaxation. I just can't wait until they make one for Dental Visits!

Aboriginee singing styles, didgeridoo and clapsticks are all recognized elements of indigenous Australian music. When they are recorded with overdubs, combined with Anglo musicians and technicians, songs by native peoples in more than six languages and blessed by clan leaders, something incredibly powerful is born. Red Sands Dreaming, by Global Collective, is such a powerful musical experience. Yes, it has that driving world/trance beat one would expect from producer Ian Faith, who also worked with Yothu Yindi on their platinum selling FREEDOM album. It also has didgeridoo, clapsticks, boomerangs, hand claps, foot stomps, spear and club stomping. And if you never realized that weapons can also be musical instruments, you're not the only one. Now, there's a hopeful sign!
