The Nonviolent Communication Training Course
Marshall Rosenberg
"I really love The Nonviolent Communication Training Course. It's been really helpful to me in learning a much better way to communicate with people and improve my relationships. I can't get enough of it."

Kuan Yin
Daniela Schenker

The Instruction
Ainslie MacLeod
"The Instruction is the most practical program I’ve encountered for getting yourself onto the path your soul planned for you. It has helped me reconnect with passions I’d long since pushed aside, and has shown me how and why I make certain choices in my life. I would recommend it to anyone who wants greater insight into their purpose, and greater meaning in their life."

Radiant Mind (book and audio)
Peter Fenner
"No one and nothing has done more to introduce me to the actual experience of ‘Radiant Mind’— and how it is present in every moment of my life, whether I'm aware of it or not — as the work of Peter Fenner. I particularly recommend working with both the audio and book versions of this material — the direct experience of Radiant Mind will overcome anything standing in its way, including the idea that it is anywhere other than right here, right now."
Abiding in Mindfulness, Volumes I & II
Joseph Goldstein
"I’m interested in the mind science known as Buddhism because it expands my consciousness without adding anything unnecessary to it that makes me think all I need is not already present in my actual experience. To experience Joseph Goldstein’s extraordinary commentary on the Sattipatthana Sutta for me was an example of that widening and deepening of consciousness—more and more of my everyday life was illuminated until ‘ordinary’ moments became opportunities to awaken."

Advanced Chakra Wisdom
Cyndi Dale
"I thought I knew the chakras pretty well before I listened to this program. Cyndi Dale opens up whole new worlds that I’m eager to explore."
Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind
Candace Pert
"Dr. Pert calls herself a ‘recovering reductionist.’ I can relate! She has really helped me get beyond the limits of scientific materialism."

The Sacred Contract of America
Caroline Myss
"This program felt very timely, but also very heartful. I was surprised and moved."
Tami S.

The Present Moment
Thich Nhat Hanh
"I listen to this program again and again — it’s a radical invitation to slow down and experience the richness of what is."

Keep Going
Joseph M. Marshall III
"A simple but magnificent Native American story that illustrates how perseverance builds personal integrity and self-esteem."
Dawson D.

Self-Hypnosis Home Study Course
Steven Gurgevich, Ph.D.
"As soon as I hear 'Deep Relaxation,' I'm out like a light."

Through a Dog’s Ear
Joshua Leeds & Susan Wagner
"This music makes me calm when my person goes away."
Jennifer C.

Light
Alex Theory
"Alex Theory carries the torch lit by the great ambient musicians of the 20th century, but with a 21st-century intention for healing and renewal. Listening to Light during yoga helps me keep the practice contemplative and elevated beyond the level of just a workout."
Awakening Through Sound
Chloë Goodchild
"While I find even just a few minutes of the practices on this set centering, heart-opening, and empowering, I love that I can also take the work as deep as I want to go. Chloë doesn’t live in the U.S., so I cherish this program as an opportunity to work with a master facilitator at any time."

Your Unseen Power
Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
"This course isn’t about dabbling in a new practice. It will ask you for your time, energy, and dedication. But I can tell you from experience, what you get back in return is worth every second."
Aron A.

In the Key of Earth
Marjorie de Muynck
"I’m often described as Sounds True's toughest critic when it comes to healing music. For me, In the Key of Earth stands out as one of the finest pieces of work within the genre. Marjorie de Muynck is a masterful musician and a sensitive healer whose compelling research and creative vision make her absolutely unique in her field."
