As a massage therapist, and a music lover, I can say my collection of healing music is extensive. Your CD is at the top of my list for playing and recommending. D. D. Dear Christine, Thank you for your beautiful music. I listened to your CD Portal as I walked the Chartres labyrinth in France a week ago and was transported to a place of peace, stillness and quiet. On the labyrinth, with your music on my IPOD at the high noon spot (at the top of the labyrinth facing the altar within the Cathedral), I found a place of... Shedding Melting Softening Opening Into Bliss Melting into Graciousness Into soft eyes Into non-judgement Into gratitude Into quiet Into peace Into bliss. Thank you!!! B. M. ...your music soothes my world... N. T. ...I immediately went to your website and felt like I had slipped into a private cocoon of peace as I listened to your samples of "Portal". I am also a Reiki Master/Teacher and I am amazed at your varied background and the marvelous sound healing work you have done, and continue to do, all over the world. What a blessing you are! L. C. Christine, your song The Pure Realms is outstanding! D. D. The CD is fantastic! I loved the way you incorporated the percussion and cello. I felt a peaceful state come over me as I listened to the harp and chanting. Well done. G. T. Some friends gave me a copy of Portal and I just wanted you to know I am enjoying it. Very beautiful and peaceful music. Thank you! S. W. Christine's CD Portal has been a tremendous blessing to me during a difficult life transition. As I was preparing to leave my marriage, and as emotions around that choice became increasingly intense and deeply sad, her music not only protected my space from conflict (my husband would come into the room with high, intense emotions, hear her music playing, turn and leave totally diffused of drama), but this music soothed, loved and completely supported and protected my feelings. This music helped me to feel centered, balanced and calm. Healing of my body, mind and spirit happens every time I play Portal. I am grateful for the true healing energy Christine brings through her music. She reminds me through the beauty of sound, that once again, all is well. L. C. Christine, thank you so much for the gift of your beautiful music, harp, poetry, voice. I believe you are of the angelic realm. I loved the concert. Left a little early to go home and meditate and fall into dreamland. I was in such a beautiful, uplifted space as I came home. L. T. I wanted to thank you for your beautiful CD. It is very well done and I wish you great success with it. L. C. Just thought you might enjoy hearing that your CD has not left our bedside CD-clock-radio since we bought it from you over a year ago. Most tracks provide the perfect wake-up, with their subtle intros. Every now and then I change which track starts the day. J. S.
