Songs for the Inner Child

Review If your heart is troubled -- if the news is getting you down -- if you feel compelled to pull the covers up over your head, go ahead and do it, but not before you put this album on and set it to 'continuous play'. These are lullabies, soothing refrains that will work on the deep soul level. Noll's voice rings like a bell -- bright, clear and unwavering. She's chosen some of the most healing and beautiful songs that I have come across. The arrangements are simple, and the mood is one of comfort and loving presence. Noll includes songs such as How Could Anyone Ever Tell You You Were Anything Less Than Beautiful, It's a Joy To Get To Know You, All Through The Night and Cris Williamson's lullaby, Like A Ship In The Harbor, Like A Mother And Child... This album is truly a blessing. --Justine Toms, The Journal of New Dimensions Radio, Volume 23, Number 1 I have been extremely moved by Shaina Noll's Songs For The Inner Child. It's a collection of lullabies and 'reminders' that evoke feelings which reach deeply into the most innocent and open part of ourselves. She gives you all the words to each song and you can sing to your children and listen for yourself. The rich, deep quality of her voice and the slow tempo quickly break down the barriers inside that protect our tender hearts. What a gift she has given us!

Thank you, Shaina! --Newsletter of the East/West Bookshop, Menlo Park, CA Product Description A collection of chants and lullabies, both traditional and contemporary. Sung with the gentle voice of a loving mother, the songs are healing and soothing for listeners of all ages, carrying powerful messages of affirmation and comfort. New Age keyboard artist Jim Oliver produced, and contributed instrumentally, Rusty Crutcher, best known for his 'Sacred Sites' series of albums, plays saxophone on the closing track, (i)Deep Peace(/i). Originally released in 1992, this New Age and Childrens stalwart classic has sold 275,000 copies to date. From the Artist The following is a reprint of a letter to the listener that is found in the liner notes: Dear Listener: The inspiration to record this collection of songs came to me one night as I was singing my children to sleep. As I sat rocking my youngest child, I realized that the singing my children found so calming and nourishing could extend beyond their rooms. I was doing inner child work at the time, personally and in my practice as a counselor. I suspected that the experience of being sung to could be deeply healing for many of the adults I knew. I felt instinctively that the songs my husband and I had been singing to our children could be a blessing to a wider audience. I began with six of the songs in my nightly repertoire that I felt were the most soothing. I said a prayer that any additional songs that would be useful would come to me. Within three weeks, four more songs had found their way to me, and I began work on the project. Each of these songs was chosen for the strength of its healing message. I deliberately recorded them at tempos that are unhurried; so many of us were hurried as children, so few of us got enough of the kind of loving and gentle support that these songs bring. As you listen, know that it is never too late to receive this kind of deep support. Music has the capacity to touch us in places that nothing else can. The child that lives inside of you can draw deeply from these songs, here and now, and be nourished and soothed by the energy they bring. Allow yourself to receive these songs intimately. Hear them as being sung just for you. I have felt deeply supported and inspired as I've recorded these songs. I hope they will gift and support you on your way. " What I didn't imagine when I wrote this letter in 1992, was that the songs would find a following for a wider audience than the "inner children" of adults as I'd first envisioned. I've been blessed, over the years, to receive hundreds of letters from people sharing their stories of how the songs have touched their lives. It has been my great privilege to discover that something I created has brought comfort and healing to so many people. I've heard that parents with children of all ages have found the songs to be a gift. They've been used to settle cranky babies and toddlers, support the self-esteem of teenagers, comfort and inspire children with disabilities or life-threatening illness. They have, I'm told, helped keep the parents calm as well. A wi
