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
