sense of tranquility when they are beside the sea on a beach. Fresh breezes,
the sounds of ceaseless waves and the scenes of changing seasons all bring
a feeling of peace into the hearts of people.

inducing in the minds of people on environment of calmness, and relaxation
leading to a sensation of healing, and an increase in peoples ability
to care with the pressures of life.

The
music in this site
This site's music does not directly depict anything, but rather its form
is designed through individual analysis. Some parts of the music hint
at traditional Japanese musical elements.
The creator of the music is interested in the style of Gagaku, meaning
that some of the pieces use a peculiar form. Gagaku is a kind of music
used for holy ceremonies that has been handed down from generation to
generation in Japan. Also, Gagaku's musical form is closely related to
breathing methods and meditation. For instance, the harmony of the string
family, which is used in many a song and consistently plays an important
background role in music, is created with the sound of the instrument
called sho, which can be heard in Gagaku music.
Long melody lines are reminiscent of the chants of the Imperial New Year's
Poetry Party - a New Year's event in which poems written by members of
the Imperial family and commoners have written, as well as kiyari work-songs
which have since come to be sung at various celebrations. In addition,
the music samples the bell of a Buddhist temple, which continues ringing
for a very long time. Also, the bass drums use sampling data from Japanese
taiko drums.
These music are arranged so as to trace their way through a series of
image patterns which are designed to relieve the stress of people who
find themselves leading very stressful lives.
As for using the CD, taking the previous example of a hospital waiting
room, try listening to the CD through headphones, and engaging in some
slow abdominal breathing. Unnatural rapid breathing or special breathing
techniques unsupervised by a therapist or other appropriate persons is
dangerous; so stick to natural abdominal breathing.

5. Garden In The Air (9:53)
[Listen to MP3 FIRST
HALF / SECOND HALF
This song is filled with the imagery of a garden spread throughout an
imaginary world. A sparkling brook babbles its way through the garden.
It could even be the Garden of Eden itself. This song reminds us of the
episode describe by psychologist Viktor Frankl, in which Jews taken prisoner
by the Nazis were overcome by a feeling of awe at the unadulterated evening
sun which they could see from the window of the trains which came to take
them away. When we begin to think of our lives not as something that has
been given to us as a matter of course, but as a special gift, and when
we give up wasteful conversation and start listening to what the world
is trying to tell us, the way we see the world will surely change a great
deal.

Lake [Free MP3]
This song symbolizes a lotus sitting on a quiet lake, and a curtain of
mist. Play this track at a low volume in order to enjoy it when engaging
in free meditation. The entire CD is naturally set to an appropriate volume.
Hermann Beckh once said that the Indian image of Nirvana was related to
that of a lake at night. Could it be that the image of Nirvana is that
of a mountain lake at night, in contract to an image of the extreme, all-burning,
all-destroying heat of dayH When using the CD for meditation, imagine
yourself as a lotus flower, and also imagining your bud rising to the
surface and blooming. Alternatively, you could use the image of the ripples
on the surface of the water, created by the opening of the lotus flower,
or ripples caused by a gentle zephyr; the mist rolling slowly in over
the lake, and disappearing as the morning sun appears.
Tree [Free MP3]
This song invokes the image of a huge tree swaying - sometimes gently,
sometimes not so gently in the breeze. When meditating to this track,
imagine yourself as a great tree that has been alive for thousands of
years, just as if you had become one with the old tree that you were looking
up at.

Glossary
An explanation of the ISO Principle of
Music Therapy
A useful empirical advocated by the psychiatrist say that a man may continue
feeling sadness even if he listens to lively happy music.
But when music synchronizes with emotional feelings he may obtain the
maximum effect of the therapy.
It is difficult for man to adequately express his feelings by word alone,
so we can say it is difficult to express this ISO Principle in ordinary
language because of its vague meaning.
But in simple words it says we humans have a preference for music, and
we accept or reject music depending on the condition of our feelings.
The most important thing is that the success of music therapy is greatly
attributed to the degree of expertise of each therapist.
Healing Music
Its a kind of music that causes humans to feel a sense of relief and ease.
However it is not possible to say indiscriminately what kind of music
can be called "Healing Music", because it must vary depending on a persons
mental state at different moments of time.
Music that is compatible with a state of mind is the best "Healing music"for
him.
For example the kalimba sound is better suited for a site in Africa than
Beethoven's grand sound.
Ambient Music
This style of music was recognised in the works named "Music for Airports"
by Brian Eno, although it is said that Eric Saty was the pioneer of such
music.
It tends to enter ones mind just as a sound like something related to
nature, without any particular melody standing out so it is particularly
suitable for meditation.
Ambient music is suitable for being repeated over a long period, at low
volume.
Newage Music
This music is close to classical in style featuring comprehensible melodies,
and is best for BGM because the tempo and music structure does not change
suddenly.
