Enjoy stress relief music from three-time Billboard Award winner,Ray Lynchwhose albums have sold in excess of 2 million copies.

    Since ancient times, sound and music has been used as a powerful tool for healing, a means of communication, and a way to lift the human spirit and access deeper states of consciousness. The singing bowls and mysterious overtone chanting of the Tibetan monks, the deeply spiritual mantras and ragas of India were not mere musical entertainment. They were used to bring about deep relaxation and heightened states of awareness.

     So it is today, in our stressed and busy world, we are again turning to music as a means to heal and relax our lives. . . Today, massage therapists, bodyworkers, psychotherapists and healers of all sorts can choose from a tremendous variety of music that will bring their clients into a state of ease and help the healing process, music like that of RAY LYNCH . . .

The Sky of Mind

Quintessential "stress relief" music -- Not many "stress relief" albums have sold over 168,000 copies; but Ray Lynch's debut album: " The Sky of Mind " has, and is the perfect music therapy for relieving stress. " The Sky of Mind " is quiet music. It does not shout, it beckons and soothes its listener. And yet if fulfills that difficult task of the best relaxation music; as it calms it also moves you emotionally with rich evocative strings accented by soft Tibetan bells that have been associated with meditative practices for centuries. This is stress relief music at its best with flute, piano, guitar, recorders, cello, and keyboards. Promoted by word-of-mouth alone, this beautiful album became an underground success. " The Sky of Mind " is widely used for meditation, relaxation, and indeed, all healing therapies for both body and soul.

I can't tell you in words how evocative the Tibetan bells on The Sky of Mind are -- struck almost as though at random -- amidst the Western classical instruments! As a support for entering a deeply peaceful and stress-free state of mind, this album is a wonderful tool.

Deep Breakfast

New Age music's first Independently released Gold album -- Even if you don't recognize the name, you've probably heard music from THE classic Ray Lynch album. It's playful and uplifting, rich with romantic, melodic themes and playful arrangements, and sold over 1,256,000 albums. Features viola, piano, guitar, flute, and keyboards.

When Operation Desert Shield became Operation Desert Storm, [ Deep Breakfast ] became even more important to me. Since this was probable the most stressful thing in my life since Vietnam, the nature of the music and the effect it had on me was something that I will never forget. I could come out of an extremely frightening situation, put the tape in, and in moments, be very calm. It had the same affect on all of my peers that were serving with me . . .. My wife and I now have DEEP BREAKFAST on compact disk, but I still have the original tape that I listened to many times through those long months. Granted, the quality is a little less for wear and desert dust, but I do still have and cherish it.

I am a wife of a long-haul trucker. I am raising our child plus his 2 sons and when I get a free minute to my day, I relax to your music. There is something so wonderful about being able to feel as if you are not sitting there, but taken to a far-away place. Even if it is only for a short time, your music seems to make me feel able to remove my self from stressful things of everyday life . . .. My 11-year-old has recently discovered DEEP BREAKFAST. He listens to it everyday while doing his homework. He says it makes him feel calm and able to concentrate. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for your work.

This masterful album offers a musical depth, structural sophistication and emotional richness that summarizes Ray's classical background. Passionate and stirring melodies will help you to not only easily release your stress, but come away energized and refreshed. Flute, English horn, oboe, solo strings, guitars, piano, brass, and keyboards.

After a long stressful day, or when trying to get ready for the same, it is always a pleasure to listen to my " Nothing Above My Shoulders but the Evening " album. The solitude, peace of mind, and feeling of rejuvenation leaves me wondering, just what else a person could ask for out of life, but to enjoy this heavenly music at that particular time. "Heavenly" because the attention to detail reverberates in every note, and is a testament to the artist's level of craftsmanship. Keep up the excellent work!

Best Of Ray Lynch

One of the top 10 New Age albums of all time -- Ray's most recent album. Here you'll find nine truly great (and digitally remastered!) pieces from Ray's prior four albums, plus two exquisite new compositions, " Ralph's Rhapsody " and " The Music of What Happens ". Ray Lynch Best Of is included in Express.com's Top Ten New Age albums of all time :

The great recluse of New Age music, synthesist/composer Ray Lynch has been holed up in his northern California home studio for years, spinning out masterful miniatures, while steadfastly refusing to tour or score films. This album lives up to its title, serving up the finest of Lynch's diverse oeuvre, from the jocular " Ralph's Rhapsody " to the synthesized mini-symphony " The True Spirit of Mom & Dad ." The platinum-selling multiple-Billboard Award winner enjoyed one sizeable hit in his career, the witty " Celestial Soda Pop " (you'll recognize it), but turn to tracks like " The Temple " or " The Oh of Pleasure " to experience Lynch's unfettered genius for maximizing tonal space.

Express.com music review

I always play this music . . . when doing homework, or to relieve stress, or just because! I have since memorized the entire CD and spread the word to my friends (one of whom bought it!). My favorite part about your music is that each melody and harmony is beautiful. You don't ever overdo the electronics -- you instead balance it with instruments used in classical music. I love The Music of What Happens -- because I play the violin, and I love Celestial Soda Pop and The True Spirit of Mom and Dad -- in fact, I love the whole CD! You are a total genius! Thank you for creating such beautiful music.

No Blue Thing

Billboard's New Age album of the year. Each composition begins with clear, evocative melodies that gradually unfold, revealing a wide range of strength and beauty. No Blue Thing is a musical journey that is a play upon masculine and feminine elements, and has sold in excess of 374,000 albums. This album jumped quickly onto Billboard's New Age Chart, stayed there for 122 weeks and won its award for New Age Album of the Year in 1989. That same year, and again in 1990, Ray won Billboard's Award for New Age Artist of the Year. Features guitar, violin, flute, viola, oboe, cello, English horn, and keyboards.

Listening to certain types of music is a great way to relax anytime. You'll find that the Baroque music of Mozart, Beethoven, and Pachabel from the classical era, neo-classical artists like . . . Ray Lynch . . . create a relaxing atmosphere. Research studies have found that listening to this type of music also enhances creativity. So, instead of listening to talk shows or the news on the radio, play some music that will relax both your mind and body as well as nurture your spirit.

Truth is the Only Profound

order

For a truly different kind of stress-relieving experience, try Ray Lynch's " Truth is the Only Profound ". This spoken word album with beautiful, relaxing music has circulated for years in bootleg editions and worn-out cassettes, and only recently became available on CD. A captivating collection of Lynch's trademark classicism is combined with readings (some spoken by Ray Lynch) from the Wisdom Teaching of Ray Lynch's Spiritual Master, Samraj Adi Da. For those with esoteric tastes, this devotional album is for deep stress release and meditation, and tuning into something greater than ourselves.

The words themselves (by the Spiritual Master, Samraj Adi Da) in several cases sung or spoken by the composer himself, are spiritually penetrating, and are a great aid for helping one enter into a meditative state: 'Mindless embodiment. Consciousness without inwardness. Thus it becomes obvious: Every object is only Light.' It is clear that Ray Lynch is not only a great composer of music (the words are set to melodies that will stay with you), but must also be a practitioner of stress release, relaxation, and meditation, himself, as his compositions display a sensitivity to the nuances of the meditative arts.
