Matt Borghi, All Music Guide: "Marilynn Seits was quite possibly the most underrated new age composer out there at the time of this release. Her work was some of the finest and most original that the genre had seen in a while, but for some reason her work was often neglected. Marilynn Seits' Threads of Violet Light is just as good as her work that came before it, but it's most reminiscent of Meditations Along the Silk Road, which was not only an excellent recording, it was possibly one of the best recordings that the new age genre yielded. From the perspective of the writer, there's really only one complaint, and it goes across the board, particularly with new age -- and that's that sometimes less is more; the use of a sound group known as General MIDI often plays a large role in new age music, and particularly in Marilynn Seits work. Over the years General MIDI has begun to sound more and more real, but when it's placed in the beauty of her melodies and the beautiful timbre of the piano, which may be General MIDI as well, the novelty of the synthetic sounds somehow cheapens the overall compositional integrity. It's easy to get around, especially to the lay listener, but that's one thing that has made this reviewer's ears perk up. With Threads of Violet Light, Marilynn Seits has created an excellently contemplative recording, one that sounds good and that can endure. Great work!" ~ Matt Borghi, All Music Guide Threads of Violet Light: Music for Massage, Yoga, Reiki THREADS OF VIOLET LIGHT is ambient, softly flowing music perfect for massage, yoga, relaxation, meditation, reiki & opening the chakras. This music was written in musical keys of A & B which represent the third eye and crown chakras. Using this music for sound therapy or meditation can help open up the listener to the higher consciousness of the universe. Opening the crown chakra at the top of the head can help us to access our natural intuitive sense which sometimes gets drowned out in the noisey stress of daily life. 64+ minutes of continuous music with no breaks between tracks, no sudden changes of pace or mood. These ambient instrumental sounds will put you in a state of relaxing bliss! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - These brand new CD's come to you directly from CDBABY through me, Marilynn Seits, the composer and CMR Moongate Records, the record label.

The power of violet light... On her newest release, Marilynn has expanded on her Chakra-energizing concepts used in FEATHERTOUCH and brought them to a whole new level..." ----------------- VIOLET LIGHT LINER NOTES "...the color violet has long been associated with health and healing, springtime and rebirth. It is a color of high spiritual vibration & along with clear blue & indigo, it is a good color for meditation. The use of violet light has been known to help alleviate the symptoms of many physical aliments and essence of violet is used frequently in aromatherapy. Violet is also the color of the crown chakra, the thread by which we are connected to the universe.
