August 17 , 2005:
Greetings. My name is Carrol Waymon, and I am a psychologist who has been in
education and practice for nearly 40 years. I have conducted years of interdisciplinary
study around the world to hone my craft and to gain a further understanding of the
ways that the psychology of the individual interconnects with a broad range of
“systems” in society. My educational efforts were designed to broaden the range of
alternatives and guidance I might be able to offer to those on the journey toward
growth and self improvement. In all this time, I have seen many clinical approaches,
and many psychology “fashions”, as well as practices and products come and go.
This is to say that I am not easily impressed by the newest or latest paradigm to
appear on the scene.
Still, recently I had been reading about and hearing personal testimony about the
Highest Love CD, offered at Alafia Wellness Center , so I listened to it myself.
This CD is a true innovation in the way it combines music, an affirmative speaking
voice, and cadence to assist the listener in establishing, developing, or maintaining a
very positive state of mind. This can be a very spiritual experience for many.
I am most impressed, and even inspired by the Highest Love Program.
This audio production is unique, very powerful, and in my opinion could (and should)
become a very important and widely used clinical tool . I want to offer that its'
contribution should be taken quite seriously by the clinical and scientific community.
What it does, how it seems to derive its' healing and prentative power is that it appears
to induce, in the listener, a feeling of love and/or a sense of being loved. However, it
leaves open the option of inference (to the subjective listener) as to from whence or
from whom this “loving energy” is unfolding. Thereby, it allows the subject to “fit” this
loving experience into an existing ideology or construct system (spiritual, religious or otherwise).
Health insurance companies should also take particular note of the healing and prevention
implications of this work. It is my understanding that (after consultation with their medical doctors)
some patients have been able to mitigate, and many times eliminate their need for anti-depressant
and anti-anxiety medications, substituting steady use of the CD.
Still, it should be understood that one does not have to be suffering from a disorder to benefit
from use of the Highest Love Program. The practice of listening to the CD, quite simply, offers
and option for a more pleasant and higher quality of life. I am most pleased to recommend the
Highest Love Program, produced by Alafia Wellness Center.
Sincerely,
Carrol W. Waymon, Ph.D.
