Yogafusion: 'The Ultimate Relaxation Guide'
Karen Whiteley has a very soothing voice and a lovely way of describing things in these short mind-body relaxations, e.g. 'along the spine, in and out of the vertebrae, the discs float in lightly in their fluid...spreading a feeling of rest across the back', 
Yogafusion. The second half of the track is just music, so you can rest in a state of peace - 15 minutes total. The CD also includes a version adapted for lunchtime relaxation, and another to aid sleep at night.

Cosmic Candle (& Yoga Nidra) - Muz Murray. Feeling adventurous? Try this: 'imagine yourself as a gigantic candle, sculpted in your own likeness, with your backbone as the wick, rising upwards into the middle of your head - and softly glowing with a gentle flame that illumines the interior of your mind', sample. You then proceed to melt. This is definitely a little weird, but I find it deeply relaxing as all the tension just melts away (and yes, you do get to put yourself back together at the end of the meditation). 35 minutes. Sold as Yoga Nidra, 'The Sleep of the Yogi's' - the title of the flip side. This is a method of deep relaxation by slowly withdrawing consciousness from the tips of your toes through to the top of your head; 45 minutes, with sitar music.
CD £12.99 Tape £7.50, both plus delivery: £1.20 p&p; £2.60 from Muz Murray.
