5.0 out of 5 stars expert quidance in relaxation, May 19, 2004

By	M.J. Ellis, P.T. (ret) (Whidbey Island, Washington United States) - See all my reviews

"Relaxation Body Scan & Guided Imagery for Well-Being" is the best tool I know for learning the skills of relaxation and body awareness. Carolyn's insructions are clear and easy to follow. Her calm voice is wonderfully soothing. Her experiance as a Physical Therapist and Psychotherapist clearly makes a difference in her ability to create a guided relaxation technique that really works. I highly recommend this CD to anyone wanting to relax.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better of the relaxation CD's I've tried, January 17, 2006

By	Tracy "Therapist" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

I'm constantly looking for a good progressive muscle relaxation cd because when I make them for myself, I just laugh at myself while listening to it. :) This CD is great because Carolyn's voice is soothing but somewhat plain/neutral, so she doesn't come across as overly cheesey. I've also had some experience with subliminal relaxation tapes, and I found progressive muscle relaxation to be more effective. As a psychotherapist, I use this myself and recommend it freely to clients. Great purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Relaxing!!!, February 13, 2007

By	J. Bechtold "Relaxed" (Conway, New Hampshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a stay at home mother with a very high needs baby. I suffer from chronic daily headaches and was looking for a CD that would help me relax.
I've tried meditating but my mind always wanders. This cd was excellent in helping to keep my focus on my breathing. After a session I feel absolutely renewed!
