John Harvey

Kodansha America, 1998

One of the best books about relaxation
"Total Relaxation" by John R. Harvey, PhD, is one of the most comprehensive yet concise books on the subject of tension and relaxation. Harvey takes the reader on a journey through every system of the body in which tension can occur. He goes into great detail about the possible causes of tension in each system, and helps the readers assess for themselves where and why their own tension resides. ...

Beyond the Relaxation Response

Herbert Benson, William Proctor

Berkley, 1985

Straight Forward and Sensible
A good, simple read that's also entertaining. The book discusses the possible effects of adding faith to the relaxation response. It would appear that the original 'relaxation response', while good, has an even more profound impact if coupled with a persons personal belief system. In brief: a good, useful book with easily accessible information.

Sounds True, 2004

excellent assist to let go of anxiety and breathe deeply again
Marty's way of introducing is very permissive and without expectation, allowing me to go at my own pace. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and sleep has not come easily and I have frequently felt myself overwhelmed. Listening to the whole CD or sections of it has been extremely helpful and grounding. Sometimes I fall asleep while listening to it. Marty's voice quality is soothing and ...

What an excellent tool!
This book is an excellent tool for children having diffiulties controlling their emotions. The visual thermometer and the "social story" makes it very helpful to assist these children to learn how to respond to their feelings/emotions more appropriately. My four year old likes to look at his thermometer and read the story every time he has reached a "5". It's been very helpful for him.

Lowered Blood pressure, No more acid reflux
Let me just start by stating that I'm a very sceptical person, and have had high blood pressure for 20 years. I also had endoscopy that showed some acid reflux. I saw the original print hardcover book and decided to read it. I couldn't put it down! I immediately began to apply the techniques from the book. My blood pressure went from 145ish/95ish to 108/65, consistently. I felt no "burning" from ...

Meditations for Relaxation and Stress Reduction

Joan Borysenko

Hay House, 2005

Highly recommended!
I highly recommend this audio tape to people who are trying to incorporate meditation into their lives. Dr. Borysenko has a very soothing voice and the exercises are effective. I think this tape may be especially appealing to women; there is some content that I know some men may find corny. However, I found the both the breathing exercises and the stretching to be relaxing and very beneficial.

As mentioned by ...

A Good one!
Very good. If you learning to meditate this one is good. I like the breathing excercises,the "belly breathing" as he calls it. I fall asleep to it alot as it is relaxing. Its a guys voice but very soothing. Very little music on it though. I gave it five stars because it does what I believe meditations CD's should do, destress, teach you how to destress, and relax you enough to fall asleep. ...

A wonderful tool for stress management
It seems that most people I know are suffering from some form of stress related medical problem and I am not an exception. I found this relaxation CD extremely well done and therapeutic. The segments of this CD - breathing exercises, progressive relaxation, visualization, coping induction and walking relaxation on one CD - make a valuable set of choices. Voices of the facilitator (s) are ...

Daycare must
101 Relation Games For Children by Allison Bartl I love this book. I am a home daycare mom and this book has lots of fun ideas to use with the kids. African Back Drums (pg 36) is a favorite for the kids to do with a friend but it feels great and relives the day's tension when the kids use my back as the drum! There are 100 different ideas to do with the kids and they are lots of fun. I like ...

A good place to start
As a yoga teacher, I make meditation a priority in my classes. But often, students still find themselves unsure of how to meditate on their own. Sometimes a class isn't enough - and a reference can be a godsend. This book is such a blessing. Bob Sharples has written a book that does spell out "Meditation And Relaxation In Plain English". There is no new age fluff, no religious mumbo jumbo, ...

Wonderful Audio ** Both sides are great
Since buying this audio tape, I listen to it frequently. I usually fall asleep before it is over, because either the progressive relaxation or the breathing works so fast to calm my body and mind. The production quality is excellent too. I would give it 10 stars if that were an option.

Great Relaxation CD
I ordered this cd after reading the reviews, as my 6 year old twins were having trouble falling asleep. One of them was having a lot of anxiety as well, including irrational fears. We played a different track of the cd each night for about a week. At first the boys wiggled around, giggled and would not settled down. By about the 3rd night, they were getting into it and relaxing. They would go ...
