Notes
"This Handbook is a product of OpenLab's Stuff Patients Want initiative. Stuff Patients Want is a participatory design initiative in which patients come together to share health care experiences they find frustrating. These patients are then armed with the tools (e.g. design, production)they need to bring their practical and inspired solutions to life. Stuff Patients Want is carried out in the Scandinavian participatory design tradition, driven by the idea that the people destined to use a product or service should play a critical role in designing it, and characterized by active collaboration between users and designers throughout the participatory process."

Abstract
This CD offers progressive muscle relaxation and healing imagery
with a background of music and sounds of nature. The listener
imagines being a pilgrim on a journey into healing, they are offered
uplifting images of strength and support, and a healing presence as
a companion. With the theme of wholeness the listener is invited to
focus on the "inner pharmacy" we all carry within. This is an image
of our ability to create substances that can calm the body, stimulate
the immune system, clear the mind and calm the spirit.
