Guided relaxation CDs & mp3s [2]

Guided Relaxation - Kelly Howell/Brain Sync. The special frequencies recorded on this tape will, say the makers, move your brain into the Alpha state that is associated with relaxation and meditation. Kelly Howell also relaxes you using your breath and imagery of light and energy moving through the body. There is music too and this, the imagery and the frequencies (maybe), seem to wash over and through you, carrying away any tension or stress. Effortless relaxation. There's a clip on the Brain Sync website.

A Walk in the Country - Marcia Murray
This gently guides you into a state of relaxation. You then stroll down a country lane, past meadows and down to the banks of a brook where you sit contemplating the scenery and wildlife; most mellow. With some wonderful sounds of nature, 28 minutes, sample. Side/track two is identical bar the final sequence, which allows you to drift off to sleep instead of returning to full alertness.
The Magic Carpet. Again, you're gently guided into relaxation, then imagine yourself on a magic carpet that takes you to a special place of your own creation. 26 minutes, voice-only. Side/track 2 is the same, but lets you drift into sleep at the end.

The Relaxation Kit
Produced by the Pain Relief Foundation these four relaxations cover several different relaxation techniques, and work very well even if you are not in pain. It starts with a ten-minute mental relaxation of each part of the body, Relaxation Kit. The next exercise adds a section to help you relax on the move. The third relaxation uses a 'tense and release' method to relax each set of muscles in turn. The final exercise uses mental imagery and is almost self-hypnosis; I find this last exercise often helps me reach a profound state of relaxation. 75 minutes total. Overall, an excellent course in relaxation skills.

The Breath of Life - Prof Patrick Pietroni.
This CD teaches you how to use your breath for relaxation. Track 1 (25 minutes) explains the different ways we can breath and how this is intimately linked to how we feel. It shows you how you are breathing ( Breath of Life) and explores the benefits of abdominal, or diaphragmatic, breathing. Finally, a relaxing exercise to help you develop this calming abdominal breathing. Track 2 (21 minutes) has more information and a longer relaxation: first a 'tense and release' relaxation, then a breathing exercise to deepen the state of peace. A booklet provides further advice and information.

Breath of Time 3 - Charles Vald
A simple but very effective relaxation method uses the steady, gentle chiming of a bell to set the pace of breathing - and your breath naturally fits in with rhythm of the chiming bells. Soothing sounds of flowing water and ethereal music drift in the background. There are four tracks of 15 minutes each set for six, five ( sample) four or three breaths a minute, choose the rate that best matches your own natural rate of breathing. You may find that you naturally progresses to a slower rate of breathing over time.
