5.0 out of 5 stars A calming way to sooth and center yourself
I like to listen to a lot of different relaxation tapes and CD's. I highly recommend this one for a few reasons. First of all, I found the relaxing melody of the music in combination with Barry's voice to be very comforting. I also like the way that he gives enough time after each suggestion to allow the relaxation to deepen.

I like to use this CD to just unwind after...

3.0 out of 5 stars The Gift of Relaxation
In spirit, this is a wonderful CD. The music is soothing and the instructions are very good for accomplishing the goal of the CD. Unfortunately I find the guy's voice so annoying I have given up listening to it. Sad because the intent of the CD is clearly present. It's just his voice that gets on my nerves, which kind of defeats the purpose.

I also like the way that he gives enough time after each suggestion to allow the relaxation to deepen.

I like to use this CD to just unwind after work or if I need a little help getting to sleep. Sometimes I just let it play quietly on the stereo for some soothing ambience.

I feel this is a worthwhile investment in yourself or a great gift to give to someone you care about.

This review is from: The Gift of Relaxation - Stress Relief * Sleep * Wellness (Audio CD)
I am a Professional Business Man from Manhattan NYC and often find myself having difficulty finding time to relax, the corporate world has left me with more stress and less time to relax. I was recommended this product by a business associate of mine. I finally listened to this audio guide and was impressed by this CD! If you are truly looking for a way to relax I strongly suggest that you make this investment. Thank you for teaching me how to relax again by using these simple techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars Give the Gift of Relaxation to Yourself, February 3, 2003

This review is from: The Gift of Relaxation - Stress Relief * Sleep * Wellness (Audio CD)
I received this CD as a gift, and what a gift it was! Barry has put together a wonderfully soothing process, designed to take us step by step into a state of perfect relaxation. His voice is calming, his instructions are easy to follow. All we must do is listen and follow. By completion of the CD, I was totally refreshed and ready to go on with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
I recommend this program for anyone from corporate executives, to mothers of young children, caregivers, teachers, to workers in any profession. It is short and simple enough that it can be used on your lunch hour, at the end of every day, on bad days when things haven't gone well, or for falling into a relaxing sleep at night. Thank you, Barry Pitkoff for giving us what is truly your special gift of relaxation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relaxation at it's best!!, December 28, 2001
By

This review is from: The Gift of Relaxation - Stress Relief * Sleep * Wellness (Audio CD)
I saw this CD online & I figured I'd purchase it & try it out. Little did I know it would be one of the best small investments I could ever make for myself! My job is very stressful, and I was looking for a CD that I could listen to to help myself unwind after a long day. The CD leads the listener into wonderful relaxation methods that anyone could easily get into. In fact, sometimes when I listen to it, it helps me drift off to sleep! I wish I could thank Barry in person for such a wonderful CD. I strongly suggest that anyone who is interested in relaxation to check this one out...a definite winner!!

5.0 out of 5 stars N.M. Wilson, RN, April 2, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Gift of Relaxation - Stress Relief * Sleep * Wellness (Audio CD)
I have tried many types of meditation CDs and I found myself impatiently waiting for them to be over so I could go back to Barry.
The tempo and the wording is just right to lull my constantly thinking brain into a content, quiet rest. I needed to get away from sleep aids i.e. Tylenol PM and I found that this CD actually addresses the problem - I needed to stop my mind long enough for the rest of me to go to sleep.

4.0 out of 5 stars I didn't think it would work!, February 26, 2006
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Gift of Relaxation - Stress Relief * Sleep * Wellness (Audio CD)
As a very stressed individual at times, I rarely find things that help me calm down. This is one of the few. I really didn't think it would help the first time I used it because of the piano music, which seems upbeat (for lack of a better word) at times, but much to my surprise, after listening to the first track, I got up, and felt considerably less stressed, and more relaxed.

Why only 4 stars? It doesn't help me sleep. I find this perfect for mid-day meditations, and it works for those wonderfully. I see other reviewers enjoy this for sleep, so perhaps the problem is my own.

I was knowledgeable about Barry's other works but this latest one is a winner! I use it in a weekly relaxation group with my patients. My only wish is that it would have more than 2 tracks. Regardless, my patients & I enjoy using it.
