Abstract
This CD provides breath work, guided visualization using
progressive muscle relaxation and imagery. It provides some
education about the relaxation response which can be practiced
over time, enhancing one's sense of well- being like a bridge from
tension to peace or from fear to hope. Breath work allows the
listener to 'let go' and relax. With imagery and music the listener is
guided to create their own unique magical, musical, place of warmth
and comfort
