Rating :  - One Key At A Time...
This CD for me didn't quite make the cut for chakra healing in comparison to other sound therapy and chakra balancing CDs that I own.
Halpern is a well-respected artist in the field with many years of experience and I don't discredit that he has a feel for what he is doing, however, I am disappointed with the musical composition of Chakra Suite.
The music on this CD is similar to beginner and intermediate finger warm-up exercises for keyboarding, basically consisting of climbing up the musical scale and back down again.
The music is relaxing to a degree for me, but also becomes annoying with the climbing up and down on the keyboard. As many times as I have tried to get through a meditation with this CD, I have always ended up shutting it off and switching to something else because of this.
Alternatively, as use for ambient music running in the background, the climbing up and down is still a distraction to me. The music is simple with single keystrokes moving at a slow rate. Add some more chords maybe?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for something complicated. It is, after all a sound therapy and healing CD, so simple works, but in this case for me, less is not more. One key at a time up and down the keyboard repeatedly is just really too minimalist for me.
I will be sticking with my other chakra balancing CDs and continue looking for others to add to my collection.
The "Tantra of Sound Harmonizer" by Jonathan Goldman is one of a few of my all-time favorites.
