MusicalInspirations.com Announces the New Release of a Relaxation CD Set

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 11, 2008 -- Daniel Kobialka, D.M.A., and Susan Mandel, Ph.D., MT-BC, announce the public release of their Music-Assisted Relaxation and Imagery (MARI) compact disc recording, "Harmony of Mind & Body: A MARI Experience". Developed for a music therapy for stress management program in cardiac rehabilitation at Lake Hospital System in 1991, "A MARI Experience" is now available to the general public as a 2-CD set.

Mandel, a board-certified music therapist, tested a variety of music therapy techniques for efficacy, and refined the clinical protocol during several years of clinical practice. In 1997, Mandel began working with Suzanne B. Hanser, Ed.D., MT-BC, an experienced music therapy researcher and chair of the music therapy department at Berklee College of Music, to develop a research investigation.

Says Mandel, "When Hanser asked me whose music was most often preferred to facilitate MARI, I immediately responded, ‘Daniel Kobialka's music’. Hanser smiled and said that she personally knew Kobialka, and was aware of his interest in offering his music for purposes of research about music and healing". The live MARI experience was originally individually taped for each patient's personal use, and now has evolved into the CDs being presented to the public at this time.
