Abstract

This CD offers relaxation through guided imagery. Just as the

hummingbird knows how to draw nurture from the flowers, so the

listener is encouraged to draw upon images in nature that are

peaceful and calming. To variations of the tune of the well-loved

song "All through the night", we are reminded how nature itself

needs to sleep. The journey continues with progressive muscle

relaxation, the sound of gentle waves and finally the lovely mantra

"I am calm, I am peaceful, I am loved and I am healing". It ends

with guitar music and humming lull the listener further into restful

sleep.

Abstract

This CD guides the listener to practice breath work along with

autogenics, statements used repeatedly to induce a state of deep

relaxation. Listeners are encouraged to remember a time and place

in which they experienced strength and a strong centre (reframed

as 'inner healers'). The music of Pachelbel's Canon accompanies

the guided imagery of a tree. Autogenic phrases emphasize growing

in confidence and strength 'every day in every way'. The closing

image is that of energy rising through the body -- as sap through the

trunk of a tree. This helps to create a full circle of relaxation.
