This product contains a booklet and two music CDs in a clamshell case. The two music CDs feature restful solo Celtic harp and solo acoustic guitar music for use during compassionate visits to the elderly, sick, or dying. The Respite CD (solo acoustic guitar) was created for deep rest and is especially useful for people who are in the end stages of life. The Recovery CD (solo Celtic harp) is suited for people who are sick or injured and are in recovery. Aside from different instrumentation, the Recovery CD features music played with a more even rhythm.
Designed specifically to comfort the ill and dying, this instrumental music uses slow, restful tempos. The booklet instructs the caregiver on how to visit and take therapeutic music to someone who is sick, recovering from injury, suffering from dementia or near the end of life. The reader will learn visitation skills, ideas for conversation and readings, and discover how music affects our physiology. Here are some of the topics covered by the instructional booklet:
