Relaxation Training
Relaxation training is a set of relaxation techniques that help calm the mind and body. The relaxation techniques I use most often in my classes, recordings, and individual sessions are:
Breathing
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Awareness of Body Relaxation
Relaxation music
Guided Imagery
Meditation
Some other relaxation techniques are biofeedback, autogenic training, yoga, tai chi, and qigong.
Taking some time to regularly practice relaxation techniques is very important for health and wellness. Some benefits people notice from relaxation training are:
Improved sleep
Stress management
Feeling more focused
Enhanced creativity
Lower blood pressure
Pain relief
Healthier relationships

Praise for "A Time for Relaxation, Vol. 1"
"I purchased your CD via iTunes yesterday....to help me relax during this volatile and crazy time in the world and in the economy. I listened to quite a few voices on the iTunes list of relaxation CD's, including PhD psychologists, etc.. Your voice instantly soothed me and thus my selection of yours.
My husband and I listened to it last night, he fell asleep, and I went into a profound state of relaxation and meditation. It was terrific. It continued for 10 minutes after your CD finished so that was really significant.
...so thank you for a great CD!"
Mady Goldstein, NYC
"I think you have a stunning voice and your CD is the best of its type that I have ever heard! You deserve to have great success with this and I am sure that when people have heard it they will want to buy all your future efforts. I've been in the world of Hypnotherapy for almost 20 years and in my opinion, you are a STAR!"
