I have a collection of meditation CDs and this is one of my favorites. When I am in the middle of the winter blues and am craving some summer/spring sounds, this CD always takes me there and raises my spirits during my meditations. With sounds of rustling leaves, chirping birds, etc., it is sure to make you feel better just for having listened to it. There is no way you can finish this CD and not be more relaxed, even if not meditating! I would recommend this CD to any nature lover and/or meditation buff. Its also good for anyone who suffers from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) in the winter/fall. Turn on a bright light, shut your eyes, and just listen. Its a really good disk. It is simply a recording of the forest sounds. No music is on this disc. This label carries CDs with musical accompaniment, but this is not one of them. Personally, I prefer just the nature sounds, especially for meditative use.
