|  | | |
| Natural wellness workshop leader and Registered Nurse, Kathleen Swann has been utilizing music therapy and progressive muscle relaxation throughout her nursing career to create positive changes in her patients' emotional and mental states. This has led to the development of her relaxation series, Relax with Swann. With a strong belief in the powerful mind-body-spirit connection, she recorded guided imagery stories aimed at easing stress and promoting a sense of peace and tranquility. |  | |
| Seasons of Serenity was inspired by Kathleen's Drama Director, Judy Schierlitz, with whom she worked while attending Villa Maria Academy in Buffalo, New York. Judy taught the cast how to relax before each performance so as to reduce anxiety and increase creative productivity. Seasons of Serenity is dedicated to Judy's memory. | |
| Kathleen's guided imagery consists of peaceful visualization, whereby you remain in control. Easy-to-follow focusing techniques, centering on breathing, offer people of any age a chance to de-stress. This meditation is self-directed, relaxing the body and calming the mind. | |
| Swann incorporates positive reflections throughout the series in an effort to build self-esteem and strength. This may help to lower blood pressure, pulse rate and pain. People undergoing medical procedures or treatment may find music therapy enhances the strength of the powerful mind-body connection. As a NutraMetrix Consultant and Transitions Lifestyle Coach, Swann shares her holistic approach to health and wellness during frequent speaking engagements. Workshops such as the Transitions Lifestyle System for weight management, and the Scientific Research behind Market America Products, have been well attended and reflect her views of the importance of learning about complementary holistic choices. She and her husband have been featured in The Power Profiles. Kathleen Swann has also been recognized by Cambridge Who's Who among Executives and Professionals. Relaxation therapies, as well as natural complementary healing involve factors such as values, beliefs, expectations, and behaviors, all of which are strongly shaped by one's culture. Therefore, they should be considered on an individual basis. ~~~ Although these CDs have been endorsed by a doctor, they are not intended as treatment or self-diagnosis. They may help the body heal naturally, and can promote relaxation and peace, but for best results, they should be used in conjunction with advice from your medical practitioner. And please remember, such relaxing music can cause drowsiness. It is not recommended that they be used while driving or operating heavy machinery. ~~~ | |

| | Emmy award-winning composer, Ken Kaufman has penned hundreds of jingles, several musicals and two feature films. From his studies at Eastman, to his years in "The Road," and as organist for the Sabres, Ken brings his eclectic talents to his jingle company Adsongs, and now, to Relax with Swann. | |
| The soothing melodies created by Ken Kaufman complement the narrative performed by Kathleen Swann in Seasons of Serenity. | |
| Kaufman has captured sounds from around the world (Total Running Length: 53:47): | |
| Native American rhythms resonate throughout "Autumn of Tranquility" with his use of electric piano, harp, temple blocks, recorder and strings. (12:18) Ken's artistry comes alive in "Reflections of Winter," an original piece with an American flare, created with the use of piano, bass strings and oboe. (10:51) Strings inspired by the sacred sites Machu Picchu and Kyoto bring out the Asian flavor of "Showers of Spring." (11:22) "Serenity of Summer" is sprinkled with electric piano, xylophone, bass, shakers, guitar, strings and flute, creating a tropical mood. (18:45) | |
| These songs stand alone brilliantly in the instrumental versions, Seasons of Tranquility and its original version, Rhythms of the World. | |
