The guided imagery, relaxation, and meditation programs are backed by a beautiful and hypnotic acoustic score that helps regulate the breathing and relax the body and mind. The music backing the affirmation programs sets a more motivational tone that builds in power and intensity. Michael is a critically acclaimed Chicago-based singer-songwriter who broke onto the music scene in the early '90s. He has 3 major-label releases and numerous independent albums.

Ambient Music [sample]

The ambient background scores were created by composer-musician Steven Mark Kohn. Steve's amazing music is deeply relaxing and empowering. The piece used for the guided imagery, relaxation, and meditation programs is soothing and mellow, containing long lush chords for slowing the breath and relaxing both mind and body. The score backing the affirmation programs is more energizing and motivational, helping to set a positive and healing tone. Steve studied composition at the Cleveland Institute of Music and has written and recorded music for many healing audio programs, radio and television projects, and commercial and industrial tracks. His opera, Rite of Passage, premiered at Opera Ora-now in Toronto, and his "Hymn for String Orchestra" was recorded by the San Jose Chamber Orchestra and released on CD. You can contact Steve at .
