Abstract: This documentary introduces us to Stephen Jenkinson, once the leader of a palliative care counselling team at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital. Through his daytime job, he has been at the deathbed of well over 1,000 people. What he sees over and over, he says, is "a wretched anxiety and an existential terror" even when there is no pain. Indicting the practice of palliative care itself, he has made it his life's mission to change the way we die - to turn the act of dying from denial and resistance into an essential part of life. - Website

Alternate Title: Time in : a relaxation tape : breathing and autogenics

Author: Smith, Elisabeth; Warren, Barbara

Place of Publication: [Vancouver, BC?]

Publisher: British Columbia Cancer Agency. Vancouver Clinic

Publication Date: 2001

Subjects: Relaxation Techniques; Stress, Psychological; Popular Work

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.
