" Silence of Peace" reduces stress and tension and has a great calming effect on the listener. On the basis of research carried out on our patients, I affirm that this music reduces the effects of stress and tension. John Levine's CD is unusually calming and places the listener in a sort of half-dream state that relaxes them and provides them good rest. That effect is necessary today for anxious and stressed patients.
I was charmed by John's music from the first moment I heard it. It's like a soothing balm for tough moments. It is music of peace and reconciliation that lets you find yourself. I recommend it to all people looking for solace. Relaxing with the help of this music, will assist them to definitely find it.

I've worked in the medical profession for 45 years. My work abounds in stressful situations; each day I meet people who are sick and suffering. Nevertheless, I still can't separate my work from my personal life and that causes me problems sleeping.
When I first saw John's CD, I didn't really believe it was going to help me. However, I decided to give it a try. I turned it on, started to browse through a magazine ...after a while I lost track of time. I felt completely calmed down, free from problems and the pressures of time. I felt relaxed. After two hours I fell asleep.
What is interesting is that with this music I could really concentrate. After a few days [of using it] I noticed I could remember many things from the magazine I'd been reading when I first listened to the CD.
Excellent idea, excellent performance and above all excellent results!
Thanks to John's music I found out what the silence of peace really is.

Music such as " Silence of Peace" can be used incidentally for both individual and group therapy situations. It can be used during the stage of relaxation, or during visualisation and induction of positive associations.
" Silence of Peace" gave a positive impression among [my] therapy session participants.
When asked about their impressions, they said it was nice. Comments included: "I felt good, I felt warmth, I felt safe", "I was thinking about my mum", "I was thinking about the sky and birds".
[During the session], two persons wanted to leave the room explaining that they were bored.
From what I observed, I can say that most of participants were relaxed while listening. I could tell by their calm breath, decreased activity and pulse. Some also said that they had felt safe and peaceful.
In cases of major handicap, [we did not notice any specific] effect. Nevertheless, patients patiently listened to the music until the end.
In my opinion, this music influences people [by] calling up pleasing visions to mind.
