Graceful Passages<\/em><\/span> is a CD of spoken wisdom and beautiful music that was designed to help people facing loss, terminal illness, or end-of-life transitions–their own or someone they care for.  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font> <\/p>\n


\n\"Graceful<\/a><\/span>Originally released in 2000, it was created to reduce anxiety and fears and to provide a “sound sanctuary” and a sense of calm and acceptance for patients, family members and care providers during difficult times.  The combination of words and music is a powerful way of letting listeners <\/span><\/font>open to the process of letting go and being in the present moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The narrations are by a variety of healers, doctors, and spiritual guides that span many cultures and faiths, including: death and dying pioneer, the late Elisabeth Kubler-Ross; spiritual icon Ram Dass; Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh; Franciscan monk Maximillian Mizzi; and Rabbi Zalman Schacter-Shalomi. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font> <\/p>\n

The music was written by Emmy-winning composer Gary Malkin and co-produced by healing music pioneer Michael Stillwater. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

The Graceful Passages<\/em> <\/span>set also comes with an instrumental CD and an illustrated book that includes the words from the narrations. It’s a thoughtful gift for someone who may need this kind of loving and gentle support. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span> <\/p>\n

Sample tracks can be listened to at the website: <\/font>www.gracefulpassages.com<\/a>. You can also buy a copy there for $24.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
