5.0 out of 5 stars The best Guided Relaxation CD out there, August 17, 2005

I am a beginner to guided relaxation and meditation, so I bought this CD along with two other highly recommended relaxation CDs of the same type (Pure Relaxation by Mary and Richard Maddux and Creating Calm In Your Life with Rivka Simmons). I found this CD to be better BY FAR than the other two I bought at the same time.

The thing I like the best about this particular program is Dr. Hardin's voice. While Mary Maddux in the "Pure Relaxation" program distracted me by extending her words out to ideally generate some relaxing effect, Dr. Hardin did not sink to such tactics in Drifting Downstream. He spoke normally and let his VERY calming voice naturally soothe. I also found the music in this CD to work together with the narration effectively. It wasn't distracting at all.

I also liked that unlike the other two CDs I mentioned above, Dr. Hardin started the relaxation at the head and moved down to the feet, which I found much more effective than starting at the feet and moving up to the head. I fell asleep the first time I listened to it and have found it more and more effective in relaxing me each time I listen to it. Considering I have 4 small children running around and stressing me out all the time, a relaxation program's ability to relax me enough to put me to sleep REALLY says something about the effectiveness of a product, I think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saving my Sanity, February 6, 2008

I don't normally write reviews, But after reading the critical review of Dr. Hardings "Drifting Downstream" relaxion CD, I felt I had to take the time to share my experience.

I was a very active person with a tremendously stressful job who suffered a life altering injury. Becasue of the injury, I lost my job and have alot of chronic pain. I also started to suffer from insomnia but did not like taking all of the medications prescribed.

This CD was recommended to me and I have to say it saved my sanity. I listen to it almost every evening while going to sleep, and rarely do I make it through the whole CD before I fall asleep.

The visual journey, along with Dr. Hardins soothing voice, have helped me get a handle on my insomnia. For those of you who suffer from lack of sleep due to pain and stress you know how important this is so that you can get up to fight another day!!!. Obviously I HIGHLY recommend this CD.

I knew a stressful period was coming up for me so I bought several relaxation CDs to help me fall asleep. This one worked the very best for me. I have even fallen asleep listening to it several times. Very relaxing mental exercises, voice, and music. I highly recommend it.

UPDATE: I've been using this CD for nearly five years. I fall asleep to it at least five nights out of seven. It's so useful, I bought a backup in case something happens to my first one.
