"Every child and mother should have this heartwarming music which
offers valuable tools for enhancing the critical bonding and
connection between mother and child. This bond is deeply healing.
Safe in the Arms of Love gives parents clear heartfelt guidance
that will help them reconnect with their baby every time they
listen. Highly recommended! DEAN ORNISH, M.D., Founder and
President, Preventive Medicine Research Institute Clinical
Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco
""Safe in the Arms of Love" is simply beautiful. These songs go
right to the heart, allowing you to relax, open up, and find an
oasis of calm in your daily routine. My wish would be for every
pregnant and nursing mother to bathe herself and her baby in these
heartwarming songs." CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP, MD, Author of
Mother-Daughter Wisdom, The Wisdom Of Menopause and Women s Bodies,
Women s Wisdom
""Safe in the Arms of Love" is an exceptional combination of
beautiful music and inspiring information especially created to
enhance the deep bond between parent and child. This thoughtful
book and gentle resonance evoked by this music can help in the
development of a secure attachment that will benefit the baby
throughout his or her life." MARSHALL KLAUS, MD, AND PHYLLIS KLAUS,
MFT, LMSW, Authors, Your Amazing Newborn, Bonding and The Doula
Book
"As every parent recognizes, there is an innate sense of rhythm in
everychild. The constantly varying rhythms of heart beat and
breath, tuned to mom s emotions, supply a rich, 24/7 symphony in
the womb. To no one s surprise, research has shown a powerful
impact of music on mood and the physiology of the human heart.
Listening to Safe in the Arms of Love, I am profoundly reminded of
the importance of protecting the sacred bond between newborn and
mother, and providing music to complement an experience that will
influence the course of a lifetime. This music is beautiful, gently
uplifting and peaceful, and perfectly sets the mood for mother and
baby to bond in a relaxed and emotionally supportive environment."
Steven F. Horowitz, M.D. Chief of Cardiology, Stamford Hospital,
and Director of Integrative Cardiology, the Center for Health and
Wellness
"As both a psychiatrist and mother, I can attest to the critical
importance of healthy bonding. If you are a new parent, or about to
be a new parent, drop everything and experience the beauty and
impact of Safe in the Arms of Love. This is great music to support
the bonding process and deepen the relationship between parents and
newborn." Hyla Cass, M.D., author of Eight Weeks to Vibrant
Health
"When certain music is added to the chaotic newborn environment, it
can become a 'settling embrace, ' bringing a calming message of
hope and self-confidence. Safe in the Arms of Love fills the gap
many new parents experience of not having their mothers to help and
advise them during this important transition. As a new grandmother,
if I were unable to be there for my son and his wife, I would hope
that someone would put Safe in the Arms of Love into their hands.
It is nothing short of magical." Bethany Hays M.D., OBGYN and
Functional Medicine
"Every once in a while, a new body of work comes along that jumps
beyond what has been done before. Safe in the Arms of Love is a
powerful, tender and heart-opening mix of songs and music that
moves the parent and cradles the child. In my work with men, this
music has become a valuable tool in connecting them to their
experience as a father as well as to their own inner child."
Stephen Johnson Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Director, Los Angeles
Men s Center
"As a mother who nursed four children and being a therapeutic
musician myself, I love the ebb and flow of this recording, and I
can easily imagine a mom and baby being drawn ever more deeply into
peaceful connection. I was deeply touched by the tenderness of Lisa
Rafel s songs and the expressiveness of the singers performances."
Melinda Gardiner, RN, CMP, Executive Director, Music for Healing
and Transition Program, Inc."
