Liquid Mind (Chuck Wild)
Dr. William Dement, M.D., Ph.D, Director of the Stanford Sleep Disorders and Research Center, has said about this album: “Mr. Wild successfully creates a soothing and calming atmosphere which could be an excellent addition to one’s nightly sleep regimen.” Dr. Dement is the leading authority on sleep, sleep deprivation, and the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. He received his M.D. and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago where he participated in the first observations of Rapid Eye Movements during sleep, and was the first to recognize REM sleep as a distinct biological state with unique properties including vivid dreaming. In 1970, he founded the world's first sleep disorders center and in 1975 founded the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Dr. Dement has made many scientific contributions, among the most important of which are the elucidation of sleep debt and the long-term consequences of sleep deprivation in all components of society. He has also written an authoritative and entertaining book entitled The Promise of Sleep. From the artist: The titles of the first seven Liquid Mind albums have honored values important to me on my life's journey. This eighth album honors the need in all of us for a healthy and regenerating rest each night. Adequate rest is fundamental to my life . . . things that seem overwhelming when I'm tired are often easily accomplished when I am well rested and relaxed. I hope you'll enjoy my music, and use it in good health. Popular with healing professionals for over ten years, the “sedative” music of Liquid Mind has been used in dozens of healing applications: Anxiety & panic management, addiction recovery and rehabilitation, chemotherapy centers, hypnotherapy, chiropractic, anger management, sleep disorders, guided relaxation and meditation, correctional institutions, guided imagery, maternity settings, post-surgical recovery, veterinary post-surgical recovery, yoga, acupuncture, massage therapy, hospice, and pain management. - Chuck Wild, Los Angeles, March, 2006 Track listing:
