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.
