Enriching & Deeply Fulfilling
“What a beautiful book! I feel so supported energetically by simply holding it in my hands, and when I read one of the 100 meditations provided, my heart awakens, my soul soothes and my mind quiets. Max Highstein has provided a beautiful anthology of guided meditations. As a busy minister who has led meditations for over 30 years, it is refreshing to open up this book and find a new idea, a new flow and be inspired to new heights.” Aliza Bloom
Beautiful Anthology of Guided Meditations
Overall, Flying, Not Falling is a brilliantly crafted masterpiece. The music is novel, spirited, and spectacularly rendered and most definitely varied and distinctive enough to hold your interest throughout the album. In fact, every time we listen to it, we notice something that we didn’t hear before—and we have no hesitation listening to this album again and again. But of course, as we have noted throughout this review, it is the outstanding work Max does weaving together into a single tapestry the various threads of creative expression, style, and sound that is the real standout quality of this album. For that reason, we give the album our highest possible recommendation! – Robert W. Martin
Brilliantly Crafted Masterpiece
“I put it on and I danced. It made me feel the true innocence and joy of being alive. So excited to move to this music every morning now. What a way to start my day. Your gift is… stunningly beautiful. An opening of the heart.” Victoria L.
Stunningly Beautiful
“I am a psychologist and often teach my patients relaxation and mindfulness techniques. This book is perfect for my practice. It has a variety of guided imagery scripts for many different situations. I have gotten great feedback from my patients when I use these in session.”
Perfect For My Patients
“Max Highstein’s book of guided imagery scripts contains wisdom, heart and a huge amount of variety. Whatever healing situation you’re working with, there is a guided meditation here that you can share with your clients and patients. The author encourages us to offer these meditations in our own voice, in our own way, while also giving helpful advise on how to do it well, so that every healing session becomes an expansion of love and light. Highly recommended!” – Ana Holub
Wisdom, Heart & Huge Variety
EXCELLENT! I had this year’s ago on cassette, and wore it out! I love it so much, that I got a copy for my best friend! And a new one for myself as well!
Excellent!
Healing Waterfall and Healing Waterfall II are my absolute favorites. I purchased the CD’s from a local music store and have listened to them may times over. They helped me through a very traumatic time in my life. Thank you for them! I don’t know what I would have done without them.

So Much Inspiration
Flying Not Falling is just delightful! I was immediately charmed by the positive energy and warmth this music exudes; it’s actually a CD which has found permanent residence in my car because listening to it does wonders to combat the stress of traffic! I think the music composition itself is wonderfully varied, layered, complex and offers new elements to discover with each successive listening! Moreover the musicians performing here are superlative and enhance the quality of the musical material through their pristine attention to detail! I say an enthusiastic “Bravo” to all who contributed their collective talents to this album! – Jesse B.
Just Delightful
Thank You with much love for helping to heal me with The Healing Waterfall. A dear friend gave me the CD as a gift when I was going through a difficult time. I listened to it nightly for about 5 years. It always helped to get me to sleep. I just downloaded 8 new mp3’s and I am so excited!

Love This Book!
I was first exposed to Max Highstein’s music at one of my acupuncturists’ offices and fell immediately in love with it. I bought a bunch of CDs of Max’s music, but then one of them got accidentally broken, which is why I bought this one on Amazon. If you’re overly stressed (who isn’t, these days) and need appropriate music for yoga, meditation, acupuncture, massage, you name it, I highly recommend this disc in particular. I feel it’s the best of the series.
For Meditation, Massage…
I use this meditation often. When I get so stressed as to compromise my delicately balanced immune system, a couple listens to this audio and I quickly return to happy, healthy self. I think everyone should know about this audio and use it as part of their self-care, self-responsibility program.

“I specialize in helping sexual trauma survivors and those who have survived a life threatening illness to recover from the trauma. Having these beautifully scripted, illustrious scripts for taking them on a healing journey to soothe their soul is invaluable.
Beautifully scripted, Illustrious Scripts
We were fortunate enough to know one of the pioneers in the field of guided imagery and the study of its effectiveness. This particular CD, out of my full collection, is the most outstanding. I own both this one and Healing Waterfall II and both are equally high value. Excellent purchase, and I recommend them both.

If you are new to meditation… This is a must… Both the waterfalls collection are fantastic… Even a seasoned meditator will enjoy the relax… — iTunes 5 Star Review
The Best
“Even as long as I have done this work sometimes, trying to come up with my own words for a guided visualization is difficult and now to have at my fingertips, scripts FAR more effective than anything I would come up with in the moment is truly a godsend. My clients tell me they find the results of the deep calming and restorative effects help to remind them of a place deep within where they feel they are safe and that it seemingly resets something in their nervous system. Max Highstein’s scripts are truly exquisite and powerful!” – Deborah Roberts
Exquisite & Powerful!
“I just wanted to let you know how fantastic my husband and I find your guided visualizations – they are so healing, peaceful and seem to have a deeply transformative effect, so thank you for all the work you and your team have put into making them so meaningful and helpful.”
Fantastic Guided Visualization
I absolutely love this CD. I can put it on and play a single track at night and the progressive relaxation meditation (starting at your feet and working all the way to the top of your head) at the beginning helps me fall asleep on even the most restless nights.
Progressive Relaxation
“I found [these guided meditations] years ago, and they have been helpful and soothing companions during the day, but more often as I go to sleep at night, or wake up in the middle of the night and need help falling back to sleep. He even has one that helped me relax pre-surgery.” (From Youtube)
Guided Imagery For Surgery
“I have listened to so many different guided imagery downloads lately to try and find a style that suits me. The ones I heard on this website are just so wonderful and the only ones that suited.”
These Are Just Right!
“I listened to my first Max Highstein cassette tape back in the late 80’s and I have been listening and recommending them to my clients ever since. Max has a true gift of creating vivid imagery that leads one to such deep inner places to discover profound peace, tranquility, confidence and newness. Now, to have the scripts to use in session immediately right in the moment is exciting.
Discover Profound Peace
“Lots of great scripts. I use all the time for facilitating classes.” Amazon verified review.
Great Scripts!
“Flying Not Falling is still in the CD deck in my car, as it’s one of the really good ones. I know the album very well. You’ve produced a beautiful work… the production with such clarity that brings the featured musicians’ instruments is so near, you might as well be there. This album is truly lovely. Your choice in ebb & flow is satisfying, and before you realize, it’s over, & it’s playing again! A lot of talent going on there. I took the opportunity to listen to some of your previous work. You certainly get ‘New Age’ and see the development of the genre. It’s a pleasure to listen too.”

I love Max Highstein’s music, and this is my favorite album (although I recommend all of them.) Whenever I play this friends want to know what music is playing and how they can get this album. This is a compilation from various albums, and works well to set a tone of joy, peace, (even good for massage)and feeling good. I highly recommend this album. Sanaya Roman, author Living with Joy.

“I’ve purchased many of your meditations over the last few years and I wanted to thank you for all the work that you do. Your meditations have been a great source of comfort and the sleep meditations have provided me with many night’s rest.”
A Great Source of Comfort
I have bought dozens of this guided imagery CD over the years to give as gifts. It is one of the best one I have ever heard. The music is very calming and relaxing. The imagery is so peaceful and tranquil. This is a CD I give to people who have never tried guided imagery and are hesitant to try it… So far everyone who has tried this has felt blessed by it. It is one that I can listen to again and again and never get bored with it.

Now that I have the book in hand I can attest that it’s an excellent resource, clearly presented, and potentially useful for a variety of helping modalities and professions.”
Excellent Resource
I have suggested this guided imagery if someone has never tried meditation.The woman’s voice is soothing and guides you through a wonderful journey into relaxation. The cd is not to long and it is a wonderful introduction into stillness. The most common comment someone will tell me after using this is, “I just didn’t want to come back.” It has been one of my favorites for years.

Good Energy
“I have finally gotten a chance to sit down and really listen to “Flying Not Falling”. First of all, the packaging is lovely. The mix is awesome. Your compositions are all unique. You and your musicians are wonderful. I really love how uplifting all the music is, not cloying like so many New Age submissions. My favorites are “Earthtones”…should be part of a soundtack! Lake Shrine…which makes me want to go out into the woods and listen to it again. Also Helium…floats…as it should, I suppose. I’m listening to “Let’s Talk” right now, which I think would lend itself nicely to lyrics. Anyway, this is on the top of my New Age list.”
Top Of My List
This is an imagery and relaxation exercise that was introduced to me in Holistic Nursing classes and grad school. I find it opens a door to the imagination that beautifully offers peace and tranquility.
Door To The Imagination
“The scripts are well written and in an easy to read format so one can use them just as they are. I also think they will be easy to adapt for different clients and situations. The imagery is beautiful, drawing one deeply into the meditation. I’m looking forward to using these in my practice and my personal life. I highly recommend this collection to anyone interested in working with guided meditations.” – Marguerite Ogle

Recovery of Emotional Problems
Want to get away? Make a change? Here is the opportunity to leave the stressful life you are experiencing. The music on this CD will allow you to relax and dream of another time – another place. It will capture your imagination and your heart as well. Don’t miss it. Life is too fast – take a moment. You won’t regret it.

Musical Magic
My son (and I) love The Healing Waterfall. It has eased him into a gentle sleep on many occasions as well as introduced him to meditation. I am forever grateful.
Forever Grateful
I had the cassette of this recording and, as you know, they tend to wear out. It was great to find this on Amazon as an MP3 download. I really like then peacefulness of the artist’s voice and also the background music. I tried to start meditating a long time ago but just gave up. I started again recently and this is one of my preferred guided meditations.
Wonderful
Complex, calming, wonderful mystical melodies to drift off with, make slow love to, meditate in. Max deserves 5 stars.

This is slow, soothing guitar music, lightly accented with flute & keyboard. Although there are only 2 songs, it’s a full hour of music, the 1st song blending smoothly into the next. It’s perfect for massage or any form of relaxation.
Perfect for Massage
This is probably my all time favorite guided meditation. I listened to it continuously after a neck surgery where I was so drugged up you’d have thought I could not possibly know it was even playing…but apparently, every time the tape ended I moaned to someone to start it over. I lost it (or lent it) and looked for it for years. Was glad to see it out on CD! The lady speaking on the tape [Jill Andre] has a voice that is perfect for this sort of thing, and the journey you take is fun and healing. I highly recommend this!
All Time Favorite
This is absolutely beautiful and wonderful relaxing music. I have quite a few relaxation CD’s, but this is my favorite. I go to sleep to one every night. I also lay down on my bed and listen to them when I am depressed or stressed out. I am sending one to my mom for Mother’s Day. Thank you so much for this wonderful CD!! – Verified Amazon Review
Absolutely Beautiful
“Flying Not Falling” by Max Highstein is a magnificent New Age music album! The acoustic sound gives it wide appeal. Initially it is easy to label “Flying Not Falling” as pretty and uncomplicated. But listen closely and you will appreciate the life wisdom it represents. It is impossible to feel sad while listening to it. In a world of conflicts and negativity, that is a rare quality. B.T. Fasmer
Magnificent
I purchased the Healing Waterfall series many years ago and absolutely loved them. I haven’t listened to them for some time and then began doing so before bed and remembered how much peace they give me. I purchased 6 Guided meditations from you last night and started on them and they are wonderful. You have a beautiful gift. Thank you for producing such high quality meditations.
