Joy of Being – guided Lifeflow meditations with the music of Ross Edwards
 This beautiful new 4-CD boxed set includes all of the meditations taught in our 7-week courses, delicately interspersed with excerpts from the orchestral music of one of Australia’s best known and most loved composers, Ross Edwards.
CD 1 guides you through short Spot Meditations and CDs 2 & 3 include breathing meditations, visualisations for developing awareness and clarity, and for experiencing our connection with our community, environment and the earth. These Lifeflow meditations can be used to relax and be calm, to help you sleep, and to stay clear and balanced. Use them often to restore your energy and maintain emotional and mental wellbeing.
CDs 1 to 3 feature the voices of four Lifeflow teachers – Graham Williams, Gretta Koch, Ann Calvert and John Burston – and are suitable for absolute beginners through to advanced students.
CD 4 contains the full length versions of the Ross Edwards' excerpts used in CDs 1-3. Favourites include his Guitar, Piano, and Oboe Concertos and Dawn Mantras. Edward's music creates a unique sound world which is deeply rooted in Australia's natural environment. The Composer's belief in the healing power of music is reflected in these highly evocative works – perennial favorites on Lifeflow Retreats.

What others say about Ross Edwards' music:
That listeners repeatedly say how much they love his music makes it easy to schedule on radio...His pieces are so beautiful and his output so extensive that he cannot but be noted as a major figure in our history.

Ross Edwards's music has always provided for me 'the quiet spaces that allow recognition of the states of the heart; and the wisdom to respond to them'. John Davis, General Manager Australian Music Centre
