5.0 out of 5 stars relax!, December 7, 1999
This review is from: 1 Amazing Way to Relax & Renew: Mike Cohen's Instant Relaxation Technique & Training Program (Spiral-bound)
As a lic. indep. clinical social worker who specializes in psychotherapy and medical social work, I have found instant relaxation to be very helpful. Mike's technique is simple enough to teach to my clients in a few short sessions. It has been very beneficial in helping individuals dealing with anxiety associated with PTSD and with stressors of daily living. Once one masters the technique, it can be used at work to take a break during a busy day. By inserting the disc into a computer one can practice relaxation for five minutes and see the results during the work hours. I have personally felt less stressed and more productive. It is so easy to learn that one cannot help but be successful. Family can also be taught and all will see an improvement in sleep. I have attended trainings on relaxation and am amazed at how easy this product is in comparison.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stress Central, March 15, 2000
By 
Dr. Jim L. (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1 Amazing Way to Relax & Renew: Mike Cohen's Instant Relaxation Technique & Training Program (Spiral-bound)
STRESS CENTRAL - - high-tech industry; corporate mergers and acquisition; IPO and small cap stocks; Southern California real estate; a roller coaster NASDAQ; increasing interest rates; and weak U.S. Government leadership. WOW! The formula for stress, all the ingredients are here, especially if you add a few double-espressos to the 14 hour work days.

Thanks Mike Cohen for your tranquility and comfort restoring "1 Amazing Way to Relax & Renew: Mike Cohen's Instant Relaxation Technique & Training Program". Your program produced real results and was simple for even me, with my business and life's commitments, to follow.

While I have only been following your program for a short time, already I can see the benefits of lower stress - - higher stamina, better interpersonal communications, better productivity and enhanced creativity. Your manual is great and the CD is quick and effective. As I become more familiar with your program and listen repeatedly to the recorded training I have truly gained new insight into your relaxation techniques and I feel better, less stressed and more relaxed.

This couldn't have come at a better time. Recently I read in the L.A. Times about the prolonged and dangerous side effects of high stress, including arterial diseases, heart dysfunctions, digestive distresses and sleeping disorders. I believe that daily use during your 28 day training regimen, (23 minutes of listening once each day for the first 7 days), followed up by twice daily practice of the learned relaxation skills, when augmented by 15, then 10, then 5 minutes of listening over the next three weeks, really could work wonders in helping everyone learn how to control stress in their lives.

I plan to keep you informed of my progress as I participate more fully in your stress reduction training program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Newfound balance and focus, February 23, 2000
By 
This review is from: 1 Amazing Way to Relax & Renew: Mike Cohen's Instant Relaxation Technique & Training Program (Spiral-bound)
I began practicing Instant Relaxation Training, out of a desire to improve the quality of my stressful and hectic life. Mr. Cohen's soothing voice, simple step by step instruction and guidance, and knowledge of his professional craft combine to make Instant Relaxation Training a positive and successful experience. After many sleepless nights, I am now learning to shut out all of the 'noise' of my daily life in order to have more restful sleep, as well as more efficiently productive waking hours. In just a short period of time, the quality of my life, health, mind, rest, and attitude has vastly improved. Thank you for such a wonderfully enriching experience!

5.0 out of 5 stars A thoroughly relaxing detour from daily stresses, November 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: 1 Amazing Way to Relax & Renew: Mike Cohen's Instant Relaxation Technique & Training Program (Spiral-bound)
This compact disc / training manual is written for easy access to the stressed-out novice. After using the program for about a week and familiarizing myself with the simple techniques there was a noticible drop in my normal level of tension and anxiety. As I continue to practice my new skills I find myself becoming more productive, sleeping better, and enjoying life more. Until now I would not have believed the massive effects that stress really had on my days and nights.

I am so happy with the program that I have purchased a copy for each of my employees. In the information systems consulting business one could always use a break from the inevitably high levels of daily stress - and it truely works!

Thank you very much!

I purchased this training program based on the Amazon review of December 7, 1999 done by reader Shelley Hartnett, a lic. independent social worker. I agree with her positive assessment and strongly recommend this title for anyone desiring to reduce their stress. This is a very effective program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product for Helping Me Go to Sleep!!, September 3, 2003
By 
Sleeping Beauty (,New Jersey, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1 Amazing Way to Relax & Renew: Mike Cohen's Instant Relaxation Technique & Training Program (Spiral-bound)
I got the CD as a gift. I had trouble sleeping, this product helps me go to sleep in 5 minutes. I strongly recommand people to set up only one track, the longest track, then listen to it, you will fall asleep automatically. Don't think about anything, just follow the flow of the CD, then KaBoom, the next thing is tomorrow morning!
