5.0 out of 5 stars cool ambient music, October 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Total Relaxation: Release Stress and Tension (Audio CD)

cool new age like music (I really like it), but as far as relaxing me, I can't say it necessarily does that for me (though I'm not an exactly hyper person). The CD was worth it for the music alone. But be warned, not all people like this music type of music. You can hear a short sample of it on brain-sync.com (or is it brainsync.com?), to see if you will ike it or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars A peaceful night's sleep, September 4, 2006

This review is from: Total Relaxation: Release Stress and Tension (Audio CD)

This CD is an absolutely awesome, amazing way to relax, unwind and relieve tension after a long day. For several years, I've had phases where I suffer from insomnia. Usually, the bouts only last a few days, but ocassionaly it has gone on for weeks. My insomnia is always related directly to stress. Whenever things get too hectic at work, or something stressful is going on in my personal life, the tension builds up to the point where I cannot sleep. The harder I try to go to sleep, the tenser I get and the more wide awake I stay.

For the past few years, I've practiced yoga and various types of meditation with mixed results. But nothing has been able to completely wipe out the bouts of insomnia.

So, when I purchased this CD, I was somewhat skeptical as to whether it could help with my insomnia. I wasn't looking for a cure, just an aide to help "quiet my mind" enough that my body could relax. I listened to the CD (with headphones, as instructed) the same day that it arrived. To my surprise, I was asleep within the first few minutes of hitting "Play."

A few days later, after a particularly rough day at the office, I decided to go to bed a little early, because I was already anticipating hours of battling insomia. When I went to bed, my mind was racing a mile a minute going over all the things that I needed to do the next day at work. I could feel my body physically tense up as I prepared for bed. I climbed into bed, put on the headset, took a few deep breaths and hit the "play" button. Within a few minutes, I was asleep. NO KIDDING!!! I barely remember listening to any of the CD and the next thing I knew it was morning. To top it off, I felt great... very relaxed and rejuvenated.

Now, I listen to the CD every single night, whether I feel stressed out or not. I'm always asleep within just a few minutes and I feel rested each morning when I wake up.

I cannot say enough about this CD and how much it has helped my quality of sleep. I was so impressed, that I purchased two additional CDs from "Brain Sync." I'm not a skeptic anymore; now I'm a true believer in brain wave technology. And I'm so thankful that I've found a natural therapeutic way to overcome my insomnia.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Waves, December 4, 2005

GixxxerKim (Long Island, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Total Relaxation: Release Stress and Tension (Audio CD)

No guided meditations here. The last reviewer probably got a headache from his disappointment. Continuous sound waves put me in a hypnotic state quicker than has ever happened. A real breakthough in meditation. I used my MAC to create self hypnosis/ affirmations with my own voice over these sound waves. VERY POWERFUL.

If you are looking for guided imagery you won't find it. Just tones that move in waves. Everything sounded harmonious, and flowed nicely. Just what is described, and just what I expected.
