ReviewAs a psychologist working with many adult patients dealing with anxiety disorders, I value Indigo Dreams: Adult Relaxation. With repeated use, my patients report an overall decrease of anxiety levels and improved sleep. A wonderful and useful tool that I have incorporated into my practice. ---Dr. R. LeFavourI love this CD. It has almost every technique of meditation. It is very instructional which I think is great for a beginner to get a taste of what meditation techniques work best for them. LOVE it, let my friends borrow it they love it too! ---Rachel A. RoweThe breathing track not only gets you breathing, but takes the mystery out of it, breaking the mechanics down so that anyone can do it. I had difficulty breathing as slowly as the speaker at first but with practice I found my breathing becoming deeper and slower, matching the narrator's count. I found that the slower my breathing has become, the more relaxed my overall mood for the day is. I am now also able to take a few deep breaths during the day and I feel an immediate effect.The producer of this CD obviously put much thought into offering 4 completely different techniques, making it more interesting for the listener to change up their routine and selection. The guided imagery and the affirmation track are equally relaxing making my stressful life much more manageable. The affirmations have the added impact of lifting my mood and counteracting the negativity I run into in my line of work. Thank you for this. I. GraceAs a film maker, I appreciate the levels of deep relaxation this well crafted CD brings me to. The passive progressive muscle relaxation track is a method I experienced during a 6 week stress management course I attended. It is a method that takes concentration but is extremely effective. (In the course the teacher actually had us relaxing each finger, each toe, etc. at a time.) I am so very grateful that the track on this CD is a scaled down version of that exercise, making it much more enjoyable but just as effective. I always fall asleep during this exercise and find my sleep to be much deeper. I wake feeling rejuvenated.Product DescriptionExperience four research-based, stress management techniques that are accepted and used by both the traditional medical and holistic communities.
