Journey Box ™ Testimonials:
“John's music box is nothing short of an auditory miracle. All the sounds and rhythms and melodies are able to transform the mind and body into a gentle altered state of deep relaxation and even deeper state to prepare for healing. It feels as if all the nature sounds, every bell, every voice, every melody, every instrument-- basically every sound-- is engineered to allow some major serotonin-releasing to happen in the brain. I regularly use this box for personal meditation, yoga practice, in my treatment room for acupuncture clients and when traveling to settle to sleep. Thank you from the bottom of my very relaxed mind, and for sharing this acoustic gift to everyone. Please keep doing what you are doing-- it does make a difference.” ~Cathleen Jasper, Acupuncturist— Martha’s Vineyard, MA
“What I love most about the Journey Box is how it effects my mind. The beautiful meditative sounds that emanate from it create a feeling of peacefulness and calm. I can actually feel my heart rate and breath become more relaxed listening to it. As a visual artist, having the right atmosphere in my studio space is very important. The light 'touch' of the Journey Box fills my studio with sound that nurtures the right frame of mind to create. The Journey Box has become part of my life.” ~David Bender, Artist/Sculptor— Brooklyn, NY

“The music has become part of my nightly routine. Without thinking, I turn it on as I get into bed and play it every night, throughout the night and into the morning. I wake up to it every morning – whether it’s a relaxing stay-in-bed and read with coffee kind of morning, or a 5:30 early rise type of day. It’s my start and end of the day. I love the way the music all works together – the songs "blend" in a wonderful way and to me in how I listen to it, it just feels continuous. I never know where I started or left off, I just hit "on" and let it play.” ~CD, New Business Development/Advertising

“I am grateful that I can rely on John’s expertise, passion, and understanding of the underlying processes of entrainment which offer a layer of vibrational resonance that is translated so effortlessly through beautiful music. In addition to the peace and calm my clients receive, I reap the benefits of experiencing the same serenity and entrainment as I listen while I work.” ~ Samantha Abrahams, ThM, LMT, Owner of OHM for Wellness
