Retrieve Your Destiny

I think the people who do not like this cd or think of it as cooky are not tapping into their creative spirit. The cloaked man in the guided meditation I feel is necessary to open channels in helping you follow your gut instincts. You ask a question & the answer "he" gives you is your hearts desire, your "destiny", the "right answers"... If it's too "cooky" and get over the "man in the cloak" then it's to advanced for you... Stick to a simple guided meditation. If you open your mind and heart and take all of it... It's like an astral projection. It is truly helpful and positive. I think with consistent listening... It can change your life.

I have several Kelly Howell downloads and this one ( Guided meditation; Retrieve your Destiny) was just an 'alright' CD. The back ground music is relaxing. It consists of Gregorian style chanting and underlying tones to hide the Theta waves. The first part is a spoken word guided meditation. This was a bit off for me; it was a story mode with overlapping affirmations. The story was not especially relaxing or meditative like her other CD's have been. The second part is sound only. It is foreground chanting and homely tones in varying waves in the back ground to hide the Theta therapy waves. If you do not generally like new age music/ or chanting this would not be a good choice. Kelly Howell has many other CD's and I would not recommend this one if it is your first experience with her. I can not blame her entirely - you only get to listen to 30 seconds of a hour long ( total) meditation. You can not possibly get a feel for what you are getting. Having a 30 second snippet sample of an hour long or longer CD is ridiculous! - no matter what artist you are listening to. I give this a CD a 'C' or 3 1/2 starts. It is not great nor bad. Kelly Howell's Awakening Kundalini instruction/guided meditation would be an 'A' or 5 stars.

I do love kelly howell, but I just cant get in to the meditations where you are walking on a path and see a cloaked man that you follow and so on...it just doesnt do anything for me... My first kelly howell purchase was the secret universal meditation 2. Lots of positve ideas and affirmations, no cooky wayward stories about strange alchemists in the jungle. Several of her CDs are like this. I hope she does more of the "secret to attracting..." series style.

Kelly is amazing!!!!! I have been under alot of stress and was meditating to other artists. I came across her album and will only buy her albums now as it has greatly reduced my stress by meditating to her every night the past 2 weeks. I can handle things better and feel soooo optimistic! Even after a day where I have alot of anxiety I take a moment out. It helps and you just have to open your mind. I hope she comes out with much more.

I love Kelly Howell's brainwave products. I even subscribe to Theater of the Mind. I thought she could do no wrong but the music for the guided meditation and then the music only portion is so distracting to me I cannot get into a meditative state. There is a rumbling sound that sounds like someone growling and the vocals and flute seem very off-key and like yoga music done in some sort of scat/jazz cacophony. Everytime any of those sounds enter the music I am startled and lose my concentration. The growling makes me feel very unsettled. I have listened to the whole thing a few times thinking if I got used to it, it might not bother me, but it still does. I am surprised anyone is able to get into a meditative state while listening to this.

I purchased this at the recommendation of my therapist, to listen to while on a long flight (I get very anxious on planes). Not only did this meditation help me through the flight (flawlessly, to my surprise), but I now meditate with track 1 frequently before going to bed, and find that my mind is clearer and that I am more focused during the day. I highly recommend this meditation to anyone who feels scattered with all of life's demands. It is very centering.

This was incredibly helpful for me. I listen to this whenever I need a positive reminder. Her voice is soothing and strong at the same time. I highly recommend any of Kelly Howell's work, but this is for now my favorite.

I have been listening to this every night for the past month. I look forward to going to bed and listening to this album.

When searching for new age music/relaxation albums like this, they tend to all blur together... this one is different. It's not just waterfalls and birds chirping. You actually are "encouraged" by the sounds to take a journey with yourself...visual, emotional, spiritual... Really great. Plus, unlike most other albums, it's a continuous event. There aren't 10 "tracks" that break you from your relaxation and throw you into a completely different place. It's progressive. Seriously, check this one out.

I highly recommend this guided meditation. I've been a Kelly Howel fan for years.
