Since buying this audio tape, I listen to it frequently. I usually fall asleep before it is over, because either the progressive relaxation or the breathing works so fast to calm my body and mind. The production quality is excellent too. I would give it 10 stars if that were an option.

I was excited after reading the good reviews to get this CD. The voice on this tape made me tense. I felt it was too fast as well. I've had other CD's that had a more soothing voice and were done at a much slower relaxing pace.
