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.
