Abstract
This CD offers progressive relaxation through guided imagery with
the aid of two musical pieces called "Satie" and "Gratitude".
Soothing music underlies the sound of gentle ocean surf as the
listener experiences waves of relaxation wash over the body. The
listener is reminded that one's body knows how to sleep and that
sleep will be restful and dreams helpful. Later in the CD the listener
hears sounds of bird song, cello and harp as he/she is guided
through progressive relaxation from head to toe. The image of a
beautiful rose moves the listener to a calm still place. The words of
the metta meditation invoke a universal wish for peace and wellbeing.

Abstract
This CD provides two guided visualization using progressive muscle
relaxation and imagery. Acknowledging the power of strong
emotions, the first visualization invites the listener to experience
riding in a hot air balloon using the force of their fiery emotions to
propel them to a place of vision and finally drift safely down to land.
In the second visualization the listener experiences the supportive
and warming strength of the earth and then the freedom and
buoyancy of the water to encourage a deepening sense of
relaxation

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.
