MOZART EFFECT 2: HEAL BODY

I own all six of the CD's in this series; they are all beautiful. Not surprising because the composer is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the greatest and most important composer who ever lived, in my opinion. I am listening to the music from this CD as I type this review. The question is not, is the music beautiful -- I have answered that already in this review; but does the music work to heal the body? Don Campbell, who compiled and sequenced the music on this CD, has written several books, one called The Mozart Effect, that say yes. If the readers of this review go to the Internet to find articles to support the healing power of this claim for music to heal the body, they will find many. Let me briefly summarize of few of assertions about music and health: 1. When we listen to music our brain releases dopamine, a feel good chemical. 2. Music calms our heart and breathing, releasing stress, one of the great causes of illness today. 3. "Music lifts mood, reduces anxiety, raises motivation and helps combat insomnia and depression." I will just mention using music to help us sleep. My own experience is that it works and Mozart's music for sleep is most effective for me. Readers of this review will find hundreds of CD's on Amazon that are designed to help people sleep. This brief list is just a start. Readers will find much more evidence on line concerning the healing power of music and Mozart's music in particular. My recommendation for the readers of this review is to get some of the CD's in The Mozart Effect series, perhaps starting with Heal the Body. But don't stop with these CD's. Explore as much of the healing music available on Amazon as time and interest permits. Each reader of this review will find special CD's that help him or her resolve a particular problem, such as insomnia. I invite readers of this review to post comments and make suggestions about CD's that work for them. We all stand to gain by this sharing of information. Thanks. Russell

A little before midnight last night, as I was about to go to bed, I set my laptop to play "Music for the Mozart Effect: Volume 2, Heal the Body." The music is beautiful and it absorbed the tinnitus (ringing...or in my case "hissing" in the ears), allowing me to fall asleep easily. I didn't wake up until 7:05 this morning. That is the first full night's sleep I've had in years. I didn't even wake up to use the bathroom! Some might say it was coincidental, but not me. I will be playing it again tonight for sure.

Great Mozart bedtime music. It puts the mind in a better place and helps with sleep. Glad I made the purchase!

I like the music but I can't say that it does anything for the body. Maybe just the pleasantness of the music is the key.

Listen to quiet, melodic Mozart in the background while you read or do ironing. The selections here are carefully chosen to accompany a serene atmosphere. Warm up the day with some beautiful sounds.

After I read this book, I read it 2 more times. I loved it so much I purchased one and sent it to my son. I have told many people about the value of this book. I play Mozart in my home nearly every day. It changes the atmosphere in my home and inside ME, too.

I Love beautiful music. I love that I cannot stay still when I am playing this. I am up moving with my dance partner (my hiking stick), so that must be the secret of this healing effect.

I spend time in meditation with this album. While all of the pieces are at a slow-moderate tempo, there is enough variety to keep myself interested. It's Mozart at his most melodic, with recordings of performances that were well chosen by the late sound healing pioneer, Don Campbell. Beautiful.

Benchè il mio preferito della serie rimanga Strenght the mind anche questa selezione mozartiana per il rilassamento del corpo e della mente la trovo efficace e gradevolissima. Consigliata anche a chi solitamente non ascolta musica classica, resterete stupiti. Sperdizione e imballaggio ok.

For personal use

Ich bin seit langem bekannt mit Mozart Musik- Bin zufrieden nmit meine Bestellung- Auch das Buch ist sehr interessant

It is one of my favourite musics to relax at night and get to sleep. I bought the other Mozart Effect CD's for unlocking the Creative Spirit and Strengten the Mind. I play them often when working.

This has been very helpful. Mozart is great music at any time. When I was sick I listened to it and after having chemo it was absolutely amazing. His music is powerful stuff. Thanks.
