Never would I have imagined my “Turning In” music would turn my life around!
Many years of my life I suffered from severe post traumatic stress (PTSD) symptoms including depression, back pain, and addiction. Constantly haunted by horrific memory loops replaying in my “body-mind,” I felt lost, stuck, broken, and hopeless since the usual therapies didn’t do much for me. Every time I fell asleep from pure exhaustion — even if it was only for three minutes — I startled awake from severe flashbacks and nightmares so vivid I could even smell the perpetrators. I was miserable, sleep-deprived, and at times I didn’t even have the energy to open the curtains — or even to weep.
…Until a co-incident forever changed my path
Creating music has always been my refuge, and one night I got really frustrated working on a dance music track that didn’t seem to work, except for a beautiful, layered melody that caught my attention. When I removed the percussion, I was immediately carried away by the flow of the music. I was completely in the “zone” and when I dove out of it, I felt reborn — refreshed, relieved, full of energy, and so much lighter. I remembered what Dr. Shapiro wrote in her book on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and began experimenting with (binaural) healing frequencies. After all, I had just felt the healing effect of frequencies on my own nervous system.
Brain coherence & neuroplasticity at work
Whenever I put my headphones on and listen to “Turning In,” my nervous system relaxes, my thoughts become quiet, my body gets still, and I can actually feel my brain communicating more coherently, rewiring and healing. Every day I feel lighter, calmer, more focused, more refreshed, awake, energized, alive, relieved, confident, and healed.
I am grateful for this journey.
Of all the electronic music I’ve produced, my healing ambient frequencies have impacted me the most. They have given me back a quality of life.

I created this music in my studio in Berlin using Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2, Trillian Bass, Fab Filter Organ 3, Moog Subsequent 37 and my special sound effects and filters. I added a layer of ambience recording I took on my travels around the globe. I recorded some of the reverb effects in cathedrals in Berlin such as the Berlin Cathedral and the birds you hear are recordings in the early morning in Kenya at Maasai Mara ‘Keekorok Lodge‘ for guiding you deeper into a warm summer feeling and a meditative, relaxed state
A note from Nadja:
For me, this music is like a safe, warm, welcoming, friendly place. I feel instant relief from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lonely or stressed out. Then I ramp to creativity, flow, and feeling love and connection.
On a so-called “normal day,” what happens is usually a gradual disconnect from my true joyful nature as well as from my surroundings. I experience a narrowing of my awareness, the shrinking of my power, and the lessening of my energy. Building up protective shields and masks in order to be able to “function and act in the world” uses a great deal of my precious energy—energy that could be invested in playful creativity, sparking new solutions to problems or challenges, and feeling more in touch, alive, meaningful, and aware.
With this music and healing frequencies, I aimed to create a musical switch to loosen up the shells I unconsciously build around myself in order to protect myself from the constant overflow of information, expectations, mental pollution, and distracting energies from the environment. I felt like creating some more binaural alpha + theta + delta waves, conveyed on a melodic composition of layered sounds flavored with some brain-goosebumps-inducing Auto Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) recordings, which allow the nervous system to relax and become free of daily stressors and automatic shielding and contraction mechanisms.
I aimed to envelope you in a safe, warm blanket of sound and a variety of entrainment waves to choose from, where you can allow yourself to let go of the protective, rigid guards that dissociate you from your true pleasureful Self.
Each repetition of this composition allows you to let go and open up more and more, so your inner state becomes more fluid, more de-light-ful, more focused, and more colorful and pristine, in order to connect to your playful and free-flowing true creative nature and a source of inner healing power.

Dr. Joe Dispenza’s books e.g. You are the Placebo & Braking The Habit of being Yourself & Being Supernatural…”
