Dr. Eric Fassbender has released his
new album, “Calming The Troubled Mind – Volume I (Overcoming
Anxiety with Empowering Mantras and the Soothing Sounds of Nature).”
The album comprises eight tracks for a total listening time of over
one hour, and has been released on the Sound Energy Records label.
Soothing, healing, and deeply therapeutic, Dr. Fassbender's “Calming
the Troubled Mind – Volume I” directly represents the curative
powers of nature, as well as the potential of sonic therapy in
general.
Dr. Fassbender is associated with the
naturalist production team known as Wild Eden Nature Sounds, with
whom he has released an array of nature recordings which includes
“Journey to Australia,” “Birds of the North Australian Tropical
Rainforest,” “Birds of Australia's National Parks,” “Journey
to Tasmania,” and “Journey to the Top End.” His new series,
“Calming the Troubled Mind,” is the latest in his growing
collection of sounds which can augment meditation, act as sleep aids,
or merely create an atmosphere of cool serenity. These records
include “Dream Waves,” “Tibetan Singing Bowl,” “Celestial
Wind Chimes,” and others.
“I first experienced the soothing
power of pure and undisturbed nature sounds on a bush walk in 2002,”
writes Dr. Fassbender. “Since then I have recorded sounds of nature
to bring the peace and quiet that I experience in untouched
wilderness areas to other people who do not have the opportunity to
travel to peaceful places. I have further explored the power of sound
as part of my PhD on the effect of music on learning, and through
this research found more and more evidence for the benefits of
listening to nature sounds on anxiety, insomnia, tinnitus, stress and
pain. I now direct my energy towards helping others to experience the
soothing and calming powers of nature.”
The track titles on “Calming the
Troubled Mind” serve as suggested mantras for meditation, the first
half of the title being considered on the intake of breath, the
second on exhaling. For example, “Smile to Body – Releasing
Tension” may be recited mentally or out loud while the sounds of a
bubbling brook massage the psyche of the listener.
“The mantras are of course entirely
optional,” Dr. Fassbender writes, “and if you just want to listen
to the pure and peaceful sounds of nature then you are of course free
to do just that. Because, let me assure you, even by themselves, the
sounds of nature are sure to calm your troubled mind.”
And what of the physiological effects
of exposure to natural sounds?
The Doctor explains: “There are
numerous studies that show the beneficial effects that listening to
the sounds of nature has on anxiety. Examples include pregnant women
who experience anxiety in various stages of their pregnancy, pre- and
post-operative surgery patients, as well as people who are having
wounds treated or those affected by cancer. But listening to nature
sounds to reduce anxiety is not just restricted to these examples.
Immersing ourselves in nature is generally effective in almost any
situation where anxiety is experienced.”
“Calming the Troubled Mind – Volume
I (Overcoming Anxiety with Empowering Mantras and the Soothing Sounds
of Nature)” by Dr. Eric Fassbender is available online worldwide.
