Journey through the Seasons is an innovative CD that speaks to us on many different levels. It offers profound relaxation, it leads us to deep, holistic healing and it opens us to spiritual and emotional insight into ourselves and others.
Relaxation
The calming sound of Robert-Louis’ voice and Neil Henry’s music soothes our anxieties and tensions, and surrounds us with a gentle, unthreatening atmosphere where we can let go and sink into deep, peaceful relaxation.
Healing
Once we are relaxed, the CD connects us to the five healing energies of traditional Chinese medicine. Each meditation creates a pattern integrating the season of the year with the organ, the emotional states, the element and the colour associated with the season. Listerners become conscious of the movement of these energies within themselves, and through imagery and poetry they can participate in and initiate for themselves profound healing visualisations.
Insight
The CD puts us in touch with the mythic elements in our lives: the journey we are all walking, the cyclical nature of that journey, the transformative movement from darkness to light. We begin with autumnal grief and loss, move through the dark gestation of winter, awake to the growth of new selves in spring, rejoice in vibrant loving energy in summer and relax into fruitful abundance in harvest - before moving again through the same cycle again. Poetry from the great spiritual traditions around the world add nuance, feeling and humour to these mythic moments.
