Does exactly what it says.

I bought a stack of these Exlipse CD's for Yoga. Mostly I got the ones without soundtracks, because I prefer nature sounds alone. I bought this to try the soundtrack and confirmed for myself that I don't like them much. I find the music a bit distracting, but it is a matter of personal taste.

The rain forest track is authentic sounding, and the overall effect is still relaxing, and provides a good wall of white noise for meditation, blocking out the sounds of everyday life from round the house or outside.

I think these are a great value collection and a great buy for anyone who practices meditation or relaxation.

Great at what it is.

This is an Eclipse Music Group CD. The producers do two types of CD, a nature track, and a nature track with a music overlay.

The nature tracks are all done very well, in this case you can hear the birds, monkeys, frogs and insects of the Amazon rainforest, and it is an authentic, harmonic and peaceful sound.

The music overlay is incidental music using strings, winds and voices to give a musical counterpoint to the nature sounds. I use these CD's for Yoga and meditation and I find they work really well in a number of ways.

First of all they kill all the annoying background noise around the house by producing a wall of white noise.
Second, they take you out of your surroundings, in this case into the jungle, by generating realistic sounding tracks.
Finally, they allow you to meditate by giving you a measured relaxing sound that you can hold onto to help with the rythym of your breathing.

It's nice to have the choice of having the music track or just the jungle track, and at the price you can afford to try both.

RELAXING and Peaceful!

I am one of those individuals who loves to listen to music while going to bed. In fact, I have been looking intensively for that perfect cd to add to my collection for some time now. And with Relax with the Amazon Rainforest, I believe I have found it! This is one of the most relaxing and soothing compilations I have come across--and believe you me, I have heard many.

This CD magically combines the natural, organic sounds found of the rainforest with the harmonious and beautiful sounds of strings. It is simply music for the ears. The sounds of the rainforest alone-- which include animals, running streams, waterfalls, plantlife, insects, wind etc, are meditative enough--but when accompannied with the string music, it becomes sheer genious!

I have noticed how wonderful and alive I feel the next morning after going to sleep with this soundtrack on. My dreams are more vivid and my body more vital and refreshed. No joke!

Relax with the amazon rainforest, is perfect for relaxing, meditating, art, sleeping and creating a welcoming and peacful atmosphere. I highly reccomed this cd to anyone who enjoys relaxing--especially to those who enjoy bedtime sounds.
