NOW MY FAVORITE CD
I bought the Esalen Massage Video and HARMONY CD after watching a friend’s copy of the video. I was really impressed with the video. I have incorporated some of the techniques into my massage routines. But I really wanted to talk about the CD. I think it is fabulous. It is now my favorite CD to play both during massages and just when I want to relax. When I first received the CD and started playing it for the clients, they would fall asleep within the first 5 minutes of being on the table, which made my job easier. Now I play it all the time especially for my clients who don’t know to relax too well, the CD really helps. It is 60 minutes of pure listening pleasure. I can’t waIt to get Michael Benghiat’s 3 new CD’s. Thanks.
LINDA S.
I HAVE USED MICHAEL BENGHIAT’S MUSIC EXCLUSIVELY
I have been doing massage for 2+ years at Cornucopia Cancer Support Center. For the past year I have used Michael Benghiat’s music exclusively. I have found no other music that works as well to help our cancer patients begin to relax and open to the benefits of out compassionate touch program. The music has become an integral part of my work practice and my work with cancer patients. Thank you for making the music available.

UNWIND FROM A BUSY DAY
I just received your HARMONY CD today, and called to make sure of your return policy before I played it, in case I didn’t like it. Well, no need to return it – I loved it! It is profoundly calming and soothing, without being what my clients call “wallpaper music.” It has texture and balance, and is one of the few CD’s I use for work, that I’ll also use at home, for my personal use when I want to unwind from a busy day. Four of my regular clients listened to it today, and they all loved it as well. I am so happy to have found a new source for massage music. I get pretty tired of listening to the same CD’s over and over again while I give massage, but I don’t think I’ll get tired of this one any time soon. I will probably also use it for my meditation and yoga sessions. I look forward to trying other CD’s as well. Thank you for wonderful musical gifts. Your spirit comes through loud and clear. Thank You
ANNE O.
CONDUCIVE TO MY REFLEXOLOGY WORK
Thank you for your professionalism, friendliness, and expedience on my last order for two more Michael Benghiat CD’s. They are a welcome addition to my collection. I had received the HARMONY CD as a gift. I incorporated it into my reflexology practice. I realized that not only were my clients enjoying it but also I found the music was conducive to my reflexology work. It induced a stillness in me, making my focus and concentration that much easier for me to attain and sustain. I find myself choosing Michael’s CD’s instead of many other artist’s CD’s that I have, to create a relaxing mood for both my clients and myself. Thank you for your attention.

HELPFUL TO THE PATIENTS
The music of Michael Benghiat is very soothing and is very helpful to the patients experiencing pain and stress related to the illness of cancer. We appreciate this music and find it very helpful in our music therapy work.

NATURAL AND WARM
I NEED THIS MUSIC! Almost as much as my morning coffee, almost as much as air and food. I NEED THE MUSIC! It feels natural and warm and human, from the heart, resonating in the body – in flesh, muscle and bone. Resonating in a gentle and delicate way. It makes me remember and feel that there is beauty and love in the world.
KATHERINE S.
TAKES EVERY THOUGHT OUT OF MY MIND
This music is so precious to me. I slip a MEDITATION CD into my CD player when I get into bed and the music takes every thought out of my mind and I fall asleep soooo easily. Sometimes, I fall asleep with the headphones on and the music still playing.
DENISE W. (from 2nd letter)
EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR
The music I received is exactly what I have been looking for. Sharing Michael Benghiat’s music has been a gift for my friends and loved ones. They comment how peaceful and relaxing his music is to their soul. Thank you!
PAM M.
HAS REJUVENATED ME
Thank you so much for the beautiful massage music, HARMONY and the video. It certainly has rejuvenated me and the way I approach my clients when I’m working with them. Also I really love the 14-16 minute segments; they are perfect for 15 minute chair massages. Thanks again!

GENTLE AND ACOUSTIC
His (Michael Benghiat) compositions are gentle and acoustic . . .and unusual. He uses a range of instruments, (on EARTH SPIRIT) including guitar, harp, piano, Balinese gamelan, recorder, sitar and percussion. The result? Gentle, sparse and light melodies that mimic delicate sounds of nature – rain, bird songs and air.”

THE BEST SLEEP EVER
My husband went nuts! He played HARMONY and PEACE ON EARTH by Michael Benghiat and loved them! He even played them on our new CD TV and he swears afterwards he had the best sleep ever. I love the fact that part of the profits goes to Amnesty International.

REFRESHING AND VERY RELAXING
I received information on ordering Michael Benghiat’s “At Peace Music from Big Sur” (HARMONY) from Frances at this spa. I absolutely loved the CD and found it refreshing and very relaxing to listen to.

SEARCHED FOR THE PERFECT MASSAGE MUSIC
Your “At Peace, Music from Big Sur” (HARMONY ) CD is terrific. As a massage therapist I have long searched for the perfect massage music and now I have found it. This music reflects the Esalen style of massage-which I practice. It does not interrupt or get in the way of the massage but rather supports it in such a sublime way. The Esalen massage video is a very special massage video indeed. In a gentle, peaceful way, it demonstrates and teaches the principles and techniques of the Esalen style. I have shared this video with other massage therapists and they were delighted. Even watching it, one is put in a state of relaxation. Thanks for your excellent work.
Ed Odell, LMT
BEAUTIFUL ESALEN SOUNDTRACK
It is very appropriate that I write this thank you on Valentines Day! Well, I am delighted to write & thank you for the beautiful Esalen Soundtrack (HARMONY Music CD) you sent. I love the peacefulness of the CD & have used it almost non-stop for massage sessions since receiving it. Bless you all! Thank you again.
DIANE H., RN
THIS MUSIC IS SOOOOO SOOTHING
I received the Soundtrack from the Esalen Massage Video (HARMONY MUSIC CD) yesterday. I have to tell you that this music is SOOOOO soothing, relaxing, calming. It creates a peaceful atmosphere in the room where I work. The sound is very profound, deep and you cannot help but contact your inner self. And the shipping was very quick also. So, to whoever was in charge of sending this to me thanks a lot!

VERY POWERFUL STUFF!!!!!
Just got the video/music. Went to work and used the music (TRANSFORMATION CD) immediately. Oh WOW!!!!! It is great. Looked for more on Amazon.com. So do you have more of this music? It is very powerful stuff!!!!! How can I get just the CD? I’m hooked. Only got 20 minutes into the video and it looks like an incredible place for bodywork.
SALLY O., LMP
MY FAVORITE CD IS STILL
Just writing to tell you I received the three new At Peace Music CD’s: SUNRISE (formerly Rainbow Bridge), SERENA (formerly Doors of Perception), and HEARTS TOGETHER (Spirit Wood.) I have been playing them all week and my customers and I enjoy then. The sound is very soothing. My favorite CD is still HARMONY (Music from Big Sur).

EDITOR’S NOTE: Readers may be wondering why we have put some CD titles above in parentheses. In September 2002, we redesigned the CD liner notes for our At Peace CD Collection by Michael Benghiat and we added new tracks to some of these CDs and changed the CD titles. Some of these letters have review comments about the earlier versions of these CDs, and we have included the original CD titles for accuracy.
IT IS TRULY MY FAVORITE CD
I just want to let you know how much love the music created by you all! Michael Benghiat at Peace Music from Big Sur (HARMONY)!! It is truly my favorite CD for not only massage but to get peaceful at home!!! My clients love the music and have even requested it! Again, I thank you for such a beautiful piece of music. Well done.

I FELT I GAVE MY BEST MASSAGES
Please send me Michael Benghiat’s new CDs. I received the first one, HARMONY (At Peace – Music from Big Sur) along with the Esalen Massage Video and I enjoyed both the music and the video very much. I watched the video with several massage therapist friends and we all were inspired by the video. I felt I gave my best massages in a long while after watching the video. Michael’s music helped to recreate the mood of the video the following day as I worked, and continues to do so. I use it very often and look forward to having a variety of choices of his music to use at my office.
SHELLY, LMT
I WORE OUT THE CD
I have been using the HARMONY CD (Esalen Soundtrack) in my massage practice for the past 2 years. My clients and I enjoy it so much I wore out the CD.
URSULA C.
BENGHIAT’S MUSIC STANDS OUT WELL ABOVE THE REST
As an Esalen Massage practitioner, I listen to a lot of the music that is intended for massage. Michael Benghiat’s music stands out well above the rest. It creates an atmosphere that is perfect for clarity and deep relaxation. It creates a space in which my clients can more readily experience the healing integration of mind, body and spirit, which is the foundation of Esalen bodywork. Best of all, his music is always fresh and new; I never tire of listening to his first 4 “At Peace” CD’s. I look forward to adding his 4 new CD’s to my collection.
MARYLU H.
Just what I need
I received all three CD’s of Michael Benghiat. I love them all. Michael’s music is just what I need to complete my clients’ massage experience. Have a wonderful day.

ETHEREAL BUT FULL-BODIED
I use this Michael Benghiat CD (YOGA) each week in several of my yoga classes. It has an ethereal but full-bodied quality that promotes a serene, relaxing environment to my classes. The music seems to invite the students to respond gracefully to the movements in their yoga practice. I especially love the way the music will pause and being again, as do yoga sessions. It gives a sense of spaciousness and continuity, as if it were playing along with my words and out movements –promoting a lovely feeling of balance and harmony in the teaching and the doing. Thank you.
GEORGENA, yoga instructor
CALM AND RELAXATION
I talked to you in October and ordered HEARTS TOGETHER (formerly, Spirit Wood) and HARMONY (formerly, At Peace – Music from Big Sur) for help in dealing with migraine headaches that I had been suffering. When working with my physician, he advised me to look at the possibility of relaxation or biofeedback tapes. The woman who gives me my monthly massage plays Michael Benghiat CDs during my sessions and I have found that I enjoy listening to them and they produce a feeling of calm and relaxation. I opted to order a couple to see if they indeed would work with migraine relief. And I must tell you that they most emphatically did! I am so happy with the CD’s that I would like to order more. I would like to order MEDITATION and TRANSFORMATION. You must market your tales and CD’s not just for massage, but for general everyday stress-busting. The music can be beneficial to housewives, mothers, and CEO’s alike. Actually for anyone who needs a reprieve after a trying day at work. I have listened to them a few minutes before bedtime and find that they help rid me of any anxiety and allow me to relax and fall asleep more easily. You and Michael Benghiat can help many people in the fast-paced world. Put a CD in the CD player and sit in a tub filled with warm water and you are in for a transformation.
DENISE W.
TAKEN BY THE MUSIC
I was taking a yoga class when I heard SUNLIGHT (Return to Big Sur). I was so taken by the music so I called the number on the CD. I was very pleased to know there are several more CD’s by the same artist. So I am ordering them and passing them onto friends.

BALANCES OUR LIVES
I have used music before for massage but never have I had such praise for my music until I tried your Michael Benghiat CDs. I have clients asking where they can purchase these CDs. My 8-month-old son loves them as well as my 7-year-old twin girls. It relaxes, soothes, and clams them at bed time, bath time and anytime. Thanks for the harmony and peace in your music that balances our lives for a healing life style and adjustment.

PERFECT MUSIC FOR MASSAGE
Michael Benghiat’s HARMONY CD (At Peace- Music from Big Sur), is my favorite music to use for my massage sessions. It transfers me and my clients to a different reality, full of harmony and peace, it really moves us into present time, which is invaluable in healing work. Throughout the whole CD this conscious state of being is maintained. There is no moment in the entire CD that is any way disturbing or unpleasant. This is the perfect music for massage of any kind of healing work. I highly recommend this CD to other practitioners, who are looking to find music that enriched their practice.
IRMI M., CMT
FELT MYSELF BREATHING MORE DEEPLY
“Accompanied by the harp, oboe, flute and percussion, Benghiat brings a gentle sensibility to 10 familiar songs. . . I felt myself breathing more deeply and moving more consciously. In the midst of holiday madness, this kind of gift could be a lifesaver. . . play PEACE ON EARTH for yourself as well as your customers.”
Mara Applebaum, New Age Retailer

MASSAGE SESSIONS GO BY QUICKLY
I have many CDs. Many (not yours) always have a song I don’t like. I enjoy it (YOGA CD) so much, massage sessions go by quickly. I’m a massage therapist. Some other folks’ songs “rub” me the wrong way – no pun intended – not so with your CDs.
