Be Still and Breathe Released!
Hi everyone,

Well, we finally got done with this amazing new 2-CD set, BE STILL AND BREATHE, which is a transformational meditation that combines the music (and voice) of Sharon West and the imagery of Dorothy May. Dr. Dorothy May is a Clinical Psychologist and a published author. The imagery used in this work has been developed by Dorothy from over more than 30 years working with hundreds of people. Sharon West, music composer, is the creator of four highly acclaimed instrumental CDs, containing many works which have broken into the Top 20 on New Age Radio, and a collaborative Holiday CD.

On CD 1, the music and guided imagery combine to provide a unique experience that facilitates deep and lasting change wherein your heart is fed and your soul sings its own song. It heals, soothes and comforts as we are drawn into our physical body while our mind is engaged with new concepts, and our emotions are pleased with vivid imagery. This experience is presented in a spiritual context that transforms our state of consciousness like a concordance of harmonious melody. The second CD contains all the background music inspired by the guided imagery meditations on CD 1 and can be used for quieter meditation, relaxation and healing on its own. Each CD is 68 minutes long.

We invite you to share in the delight that this work has given us. We lovingly share this manna with all who desire change and growth in their lives, as well as those seeking general relaxation and healing. It is ideal for everyone from novices to long-time meditators, and excellent for yoga, tai chi, spas/massage and helping to fall asleep.

The physical CD contains a 16-page booklet with all the imagery/meditations typed out, which some people may really enjoy while just listening to the music or reciting it themselves.

Sharon West is a multi-instrumental composer who has been writing music full-time for about the last 6 years. During her youth she played piano, recorder, violin and saxophone, and seriously debated pursuing music in college but ended up getting a B.S. and M.S. in Engineering from the University of Illinois (Champaign/Urbana) before embarking on a 20 year career in Telecom. She also earned her MBA from Northwestern University mid-way in her Telecom career, which has helped immensely in her current situation of running her own independent record label.

She continued to write music in her spare time while working but was continually drawn to and fascinated by the world of synthesizers and composition. She decided to leave the corporate world after 20 years and write music full-time, setting up a studio in her home and going back to school at the Berklee School of Music in Boston (online) to develop her songwriting and composition skills. She has produced 4 instrumental music CDs to date, is working on some others to be released in the future as well as doing some arranging and collaborating with local artists in the Chicago area on various music projects.

Past CDs have been on the Top 20 New Age Reporter charts and a number of tracks can be heard on Sirius, XM and Muzak stations as well as over 80 radio stations worldwide. A number of her tracks have been selected for inclusion in various Film/TV and Advertising catalogs.
