PLANETLIGHTWORKER Magazine, Oct/03, Editor's review: "Sometimes in life when I'm faced with the experience of otherworldly beauty I am simply awestruck, - to the point of being left speechless. This is one of those moments.

Deborah Van Dyke has created one of the most glorious New Age recordings I can remember. Crafted through the use of some very natural textures, its poetic rhythms are sensual and astonishingly pure. There is a complexity to the CD that is as unique as each human life. In just the first few breaths of listening I could feel the sweetest altering of my physical body taking place. A shift in posture, an expansion of my senses, and a fluttering of excitement in my heart's heart. The naturalness, the eloquent harmony and echo, all come together to offer such a tremendous gift to creation. For centering, grounding, gifting, doing healing work with others, Travelling the Sacred Sound Current intuitively knows the listener's need and exceeds that requirement with a universal gift of transformation".

*****UPDATE: Deborah's NEWEST CD RELEASE now available on Amazon.com: 'CHORDS OF THE COSMOS: Harmonies of the Zodiac with Crystal Bowls for Chakra Balancing, Meditation & the Healing Arts'.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Following her remarkably beautiful and top-selling crystal-bowl meditation CDs, heralded by critics, customers, and even Dr. Wayne Dyer, sound healer and teacher Deborah Van Dyke presents Travelling the Sacred Sound Current, audio companion to her instructive and finely wrought book of the same name. Van Dyke's musical offering, used in conjunction with the book or as a standalone tool, moves beyond relaxation and entertainment value into the realm of spiritual and therapeutic practice and purpose. Based on sound scientific principle--Dr. Andrew Weil's Sound Body, Sound Mind is highly recommended to this end--Van Dyke uses frequencies and tones to promote maximal benefit to body, mind, and spirit. These nine pieces bring together ancient mantras and chants, crystal bowl tones, drums, and didgeridoo, as well as nature sounds and Peruvian whistles, to create the thread-work of a profoundly interactive listening experience. Travelling the Sacred Sound Current resonates with deep beauty, peace, and truth. Neither far afield in woo-woo content nor loftily academic, Van Dyke's work is a welcome invitation, likely to appeal to both the intensive meditation student and the casual or novice seeker. --Paige La Grone

Customer Reviews

PURE GOLD
I have never heard a CD like this one! It is a rainbow bridge of sacred sound that creates a bridge for the listener to access the Divine Beloved within. It is hard to compare it with anything else out there, all I can do is use some descriptive words to attempt to relay to fellow readers the essence of this work: pure radiance.....luminous light.....open heart......beauty of the soul. This is the most sacred, honest and heart-expressed music I have ever experienced - I have been listening to it daily since receiving and each time I go on a different and deeper journey with it. By the time you have travelled through the first 7 tracks I guarantee you will feel more at peace, balanced and energized than when you began. The CD opens to the sound of the ocean and a beautiful piano piece. Then pure acappella voice delivers the Sanskrit mantra, the Gayatra, followed by a beautiful Hebrew prayer Kadosh, all with beautiful harmonies and crystal bowls in the background - a deep haunting didjeridoo plays behind Om Nama Shivaya, and then slowly the music continues to develop with more complexity in the amazing Om Mani Padme Hum when compelling rhythms enter as well. The following track Journey is a ten minute magnificent piece combining angelic vocals, ambient instruments, and culminates with a drum shamanic drum solo that you will feel deep in your bones. If all this wasn't enough, the icing on the cake is a truly transformational twenty minute crystal bowl ceremony with the 7 Rays energies that is an absolute gem for personal healing as well as much needed healing for our earth. The sound vibrations of the Rays transmitted through the crystal bowls are phenomenal. This is a gift so needed in our world right now and I am grateful it has been delivered in this exquisite form. There is no doubt about this masterpiece of healing sound - you are in for a divine treat that delivers all the way through and keeps getting better every time you listen! And it doesn't stop there - do not miss out on the companion book "Travelling the Sacred Sound Current: Keys to Conscious Evolution". This book resonates with the same divine energy of the CD and offers extensive teachings of sacred sound - each page is like a meditation with beautiful color art as it weaves together both ancient wisdoms of the masters through the ages with the author's experiential work with sound healing. There is so much packed into this book you cannot just sit down and read it once, it is a journey through the sound current and you will want it to accompany you on your journey over the years. Beyond the knowledge it contains, there is another aspect to this book that is energetic. Holding the book in my hands I can feel the higher vibrations held by its pages; you know you are holding a very special piece of work. This is brilliant, groundbreaking work that will open many to the power of sound to heal and expand consciousness. I can't say enough about this CD/Book compilation. Pure Gold for the Soul.

Divinely Inspired
This CD delivers up some of the most exquisite sound healing currents I have ever experienced via a CD and certainly deserves it's recognition as Best of 2001. After a full 45 minutes of beautiful sacred mantras and chants from a range of ancient wisdoms, we are treated to a bonus meditation at the end (Ceremony of the Seven Rays) - a beautiful weave of crystal bowl harmonies with attributes of the Universal Ray energies that are presented in an very open way. The term Cosmic Christ is mentioned once but never the Christian "Jesus" as one reviewer would have us believe, that is not at all what this CD is about. I cannot understand anyone having a negative reaction to this very pure and spiritual offering unless they just aren't ready for this level of spiritual truth and beauty. This CD is a pure gem, read all the reviews to receive an accurate description. Better yet, add this to your collection, you will be divinely delighted, inspired and rejuventated.

Divine, Sacred, Healing
Deborah's Sacred Sound Current CD is nothing short of transforma-
tional . Upon listening to this CD I was entranced by the sacred energy that carried a divine essence of synthesis, balance, and unity. It's healing quality is like none I have heard... the vibration, pure intention and quality is of the highest. I could feel ritual and ceremony imparted in each piece. When I was called to be officiant (interfaith minister) for a dear friend's husband's tragic death, I trusted in the divine moment to write the ceremony/memorial service. The deepest echo of impression was to incorporate Deborah's CD, particularly the chants into the sacred service. The tenderly grieving, traditionally religious were touched and healed on many levels with Deborah's voice, chants, and healing vibrational sounds. The divine energies
resounding in her CD melted the crystalization of the moment's pain and brought light and beauty to the heart's of so many. Deborah's work is cutting edge, unadulterated illumined sound vibration -- healing into wholeness those open to receive. With utmost respect for this gifted artist and healer, this is a must for all seekers of truth (becoming and being) and for those beginning the great search. Deborah guides and facilitates one's journey to the core of being with grace and divine knowing -- deepens the sojourner to individual truth's elicited by the beautiful framework of note, tone and vibration to "The Oneness of ALL That IS". The angelic meter will bring clarity to your soul and compassion to the heart.
Do not pass this one up. It is a gift to the soul of humankind.
