Editorial Reviews

You can listen to samples of all tracks for "A Time for Relaxation" on the Mp3 or CD page, as well as listen to a full streaming track called "Loving Kindness Meditation" on Amazon's Beth Freschi store. Listening to the samples will help you decide if this is the right relaxation CD for you!

Everyone could use a break from the hurry and stress of life. This guided relaxation training CD features four pleasant, effective relaxation techniques to calm the mind and body:

Breathing
Awareness of Body Relaxation
Guided Imagery
Loving Kindness Meditation

Beth Freschi's calming voice will guide you through the relaxation techniques, while the beautiful music of composer Nathan Schilz adds a wonderful atmosphere. Guided relaxation techniques are especially useful for people who are either new to relaxation or have a little trouble relaxing on their own. The gentle guidance helps keep the listener focused on calming the mind and body, easing stress and tension.

This CD is recommended by Body + Soul magazine, Woman's World, Oxygen, and Minnesota Monthly voted Beth Freschi as Best Guided Relaxation in the 2011 Best of the Cities issue!

This recording is a great resource for people who would like to:

sleep better
manage stress and anxiety
ease muscle tension
quiet the chatter of the mind
enhance creativity
feel more balanced and focused
take a refreshing break

This CD is meant for deep relaxation, so please do not drive while listening. Enjoy it at home or during a break from work, when you can really kick back and relax!

You can read about Beth Freschi by clicking on Amazon's Beth Freschi store, and you can also listen to full streaming tracks from her CDs there.

Look for Beth Freschi's second guided relaxation training recording "Daydreaming by the Sea: Guided Relaxation Techniques for Stress Relief and Restful Sleep", now available on Amazon!

This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Good stuff May 5, 2009
By Dave
Format:Audio CD
I don't usually do meditation, but my sister gave me A Time For Relaxation and I really liked it. It helped me fall asleep when I had lots of stuff on my mind and I found it really relaxing during my exam week.

Awesome Relaxation CD! April 20, 2009
Format:MP3 Download
This cd is a must have for everyone! So many of us are under so much stress daily that to be in a completely relaxed state daily is incredibly healthy. I have experienced great results from listening to Beth's calming voice and the music is just as tranquil.

exellent May 12, 2009
Format:Audio CD
I am a massage therapist and I have used "a time for relaxation" during some of my massage sessions as well as using it for personal relaxation. I find that my cleints really like listening to this cd and I notice that they get much more relaxed and end in a positive state of mind. I enjoy listening to this cd myself. I use the "breathing" and "awareness of body relaxation" to help me feel more calm and centered before starting a massage session. I especially like the "guided imagery" to help destress after a hectic day. "The loving kindness meditation" sends me out into the world with a positive attitude toward life in general.

OK but not what I was looking for
This CD is fine for what it is but it's not what it was looking for. I was looking for something to take me to "that other place", that deep meditative space, and this isn't it. Read more
