Description

Considered iconic by those in the field, this globally acclaimed work has raised the bar for music-infused resources designed to support anyone facing loss, death or the end of life process. Through words and music, this beautifully designed 2 CD Gift-Book set offers a renewal of faith and the comfort of peaceful acceptance to anyone struggling with grief or loss of any kind. The heartfelt, spontaneously spoken messages were harvested from recorded interviews from some of the world’s internationally-recognized “wisdom-keepers” such as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Ram Dass, Thich Nhat Hanh, and others such as Rev. Alan Jones, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. These poignant messages have been set to soul-stirring music, creating an atmosphere of relaxation, insight, and healing. Created by Emmy award-winning composer/producer Gary Malkin and pioneering healing music artist Michael Stillwater, Graceful Passages addresses themes of letting go, closure, expressing love, forgiveness, appreciation of life, and continuity of spirit from different perspectives and faith traditions. Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish, Native American, Confucian, and Buddhist traditions are represented, creating a truly multi-faith resource.

The second CD, Unspeakable Grace – The Music of Graceful Passages, (included) is ideal for creating a gentle and sacred atmosphere anywhere, anytime. When in the grips of fear during a serious health or life challenge, this instrumental music is well-known for being able to support all involved to help transmute fear and denial into a genuine acceptance and peace. Composed and produced by Emmy award-winning composer Gary Malkin and recorded at George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch Studios with a full orchestra, the evocative tracks of this album can take you to a place of remembrance that all is well, no matter what the circumstances, as we traverse the passages and transitions of our lives. The compelling musical score, lovely still-life photographs, and elegant design create a gentle invitation for the reader and listener to reflect upon what matters most in life.
