Album Notes

Here's what John Assaraf of the hit movie, The Secret and advocate of meditation, had to say about this CD,

"I had a chance to listen to Emergence, and loved the "seasons" approach,
Great Job."
John Assaraf, Author, Speaker, Entrepreneur



"The Emergence CD is beautiful and imaginative. With the cycles of nature as a metaphor, Phil Okrend leads you on a gentle and sensuous guided journey through Fall (release); Winter (germinating); Spring (blossoming); and Summer (fullness). You can listen to the full CD or choose the track you want. Not only is Okrend a coach, he is also a musician who wrote and performed the original music on the CD. Like most guided meditations,the music is underneath the guided journey. What is unique about this CD is that the music is repeated in its entirety following each meditation. What a gift this is; the music is beautiful and allows you to linger in that relaxed state. You can also let it take you on a journey of its own. Use this CD in group work that focuses on personal exploration and transition or in retreat settings."

From Choice, The Magazine of Professional Coaching - April 2008 By Marcy Nelson Garrison, MA, CPCC


Here's what others are saying about the Emergence CD

“The connection between mind and body in medicine and life is incontrovertible. In our everyday hectic and stressful lives, it is easy to feel out of sync with ourselves and our own natural rhythms. This CD helps to facilitate a reconnection with our true selves, contribute to one’s health and wellness, and possibly serve in the prevention of disease.”

"If you're looking for a meditation CD to use with clients, I highly recommend Emergence. In encouraging my clients to live more in sync with the seasons, eat seasonal healing foods, and to 'get slow', I've begun using the 'Emergence' meditation CD and really love it!"

" I have had a chance to listen to Phil's Emergence CD and I encourage everyone to check it out! I found it to be well done, very professional but more importantly, inspirational and beneficial! I recently purchased a Louise Hay meditation CD which was great, but Emergence is superior in my opinion!"
Vicki Penninger
Reiki Master/Teacher

"Transforming, Relaxing and Healing. These are the words that come to mind with this CD! The title says it all and with the seasonal approach you are guaranteed to feel spiritually and emotionally liberated."
