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, both personally and professionally. 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.
With
love, Shaina
