For this unique collaboration her own ambient vocals, keyboards, percussion, cello, bass, esraj, and guitars are embedded with clinically proven Alpha Relaxation audio processes developed Dr. Jeffrey Thompson.Alpha waves are the brainwaves which people natural produce in states of deep relaxation. Dr Jeffrey Thompson has developed unique ways to embed these Alpha pulses into musical soundtracks. After a few minutes of listening your own brainwaves “lock” onto the pulses and carry you to states of renewing relaxation. This synergistic fusion of ethereal melodies recorded by Silvia Nakkach, with Dr. Thompson's pioneering audio processes will transport you to a place of inner peace and quiet joy.

Silvia was named by Utne Reader magazine as one of forty cutting-edge artists that will shake the art world in the new millennium. Dr. Jeffrey Thompson's clinical research with thousands of patients over 25 years has led to groundbreaking discoveries in how sound frequency patterns built into musical soundtracks can alter states of consciousness and induce mind-body healing. His audio programs are used by Fortune 500 companies, health care professionals, and individuals worldwide. Alpha Brainwave PulsesBrainwaves are electromagnetic waves produced by the activity in the brain. The frequency of these waves is measured in cycles per second, or hertz (Hz). Brain-mapping research shows that each of our states of consciousness is associated with a specific pattern of brainwave activity. Brainwaves fall into five classes: Beta (30–13 Hz) is associated with ordinary consciousness, Theta (8–3.5 Hz) with dreaming and meditation, Delta (3.5–0.5 Hz) with sleep, Gamma (30–85 Hz) with deep meditation and Alpha (13–8 Hz) with states of deep calm, relaxation and inner peace. Dr. Jeffrey Thompson has spent 25 years developing audio processes to help his patients enhance their health and well-being. For the Alpha Relaxation Solution™ recordings, Dr. Thompson combines serene musical soundtracks with Alpha Brainwave Pulses. As you listen to this CD, your own brainwaves naturally entrain to, or lock onto, these Alpha pulses, as you are led naturally to states of restorative calm and relaxation. This audio program uses the same audio processes that have helped thousands of Dr. Thompson's patients over the years. "
