Dear Friends,
I have been enjoying the use of this tape for many years. It has four separate 20 minute relaxation sessions on it. Some have muscle tension progressive relaxation exercises, which are fantastic. But my favorite session is "A Trip to The Beach." It is a guided imagery session that relaxes you, takes you on a trip to the beach, and guides you in seeing your body as healthy and strong. You can use this tape for an afternoon relaxation session, or you can use it as you go to sleep at night. Even though it will bring you "up" at the end, I have never had a problem just sleeping soundly through it when it is bedtime. I've used this tape when going through severe health challenges and stressful situations. My husband also enjoys listening to it at night. I highly recommend it.

This CD is the best I've ever encountered as far as relaxation CD's go. The first time I listened to Autogenic Stress Relief I was scared of feeling relaxed (because I don't know how to relax). The second time I was used to the process and it was wonderful. I can't brag on this CD enough. I can concentrate, I can focus, and I don't worry about things as much.

Emmitt Miller leads you thru four different relaxation sessions, each about 20 min. in length. His voice is very soothing and the background music is perfectly in tune with the guided imagery. The music is performed by Steven Halpern. I agree with the previous reviewer that the trip to the beach is the best one on the CD, but the others area very good too. You can use in the middle of the day or before going to sleep to aid in relaxation. Very much worth the money for this CD.

Please see my other reviews on Amazon.

I recently purchased five different relaxation CDs from Amazon to help with stress reduction. Letting go of Stress is by far the best of the five. I like this one the best because the music is excellent and the narrator's voice is very calming. The voice on some of the others I purchased are scratchy or otherwise distracting and get in the way of relaxation. I highly recommend this CD.

I can't say enough about this CD. It is great to meditate to. If you just want to take a 20 minute vacation, it is possible with the help of Steven Halpern's music and sounds then Emmett Miller's soothing voice on this CD. Highly recommended!

I purchased Letting Go of Stress with the intention of using it only for relaxation. However, on one very stressful evening I listened to this CD while I was trying to go to sleep. As I listened to this CD I slowly drifted into deep sleep. It was not until I awoke this next morning that I realized that I had fallen listening to the CD. That morning I felt compeletly refreshed and ready to face a new day. I have since untilized this CD to aid in going to sleep. This was amazing to me due to the fact that I have suffered from insomnia my entire life. I would recommend Letting Go of Stress to anyone who needs help with destressing or even a sleep aid.

I enjoy the 4 tracks of relaxing scripts very much. The voice is very soothing, and the music compliments beautifully. The four tracks offer a nice variety of relaxation processes: body awareness, visualization, breathing focus, positive self-talk. The reason I gave this item 4 instead of 5 stars is because I actually find that sometimes the script is read too fast, I find myself falling behind, and, well, this stresses me out. I suppose as I continue to use this, I'll get better at it.

Update: Have been trying this dvd out more and upgraded it to a few more stars since it finally grew on me.

I really, really tried to find a way to enjoy this CD, but....he talks CONSTANTLY!!!! He goes on and on and on and my mind just can't relax listening to his voice repeat the same things again and again without a pause to allow you to experience the relaxation. FAST-PACED which in turn causes me stress while trying to keep up rather than relaxation.

First introduced to Halpern and Miller's work in 1985, I had this recording on cassette tape. Played it so many times that it finally quit. This recording (which I now have on CD from Amazon) is the BEST of all the relaxation techiques and other recordings I have ever come across. Best used while falling asleep. After a few times using the techniques, they become very easy and quick to use.

I love Emmett Miller. His voice is so relaxing. I had his original sleep tape (cassette) from years ago. It was fabulous. I did not realize that his newer works use voice enhancing methods. His voice just doesn't sound the same. Halperin is wonderful.
