RELAXATION

Written and read by a British actor frustrated with his own inability to relax, this presentation offers 20 minutes of relaxation instructions for daytime use and 31 minutes for nighttime use. Over gentle background music and the soft sound of ocean waves, the author gently instructs listeners to progressively relax various parts of the body and offers relaxation images that are soothing without being hypnotic. Fraser's instructions are paced well, and he is excellent at modulating his intensity and emotional tone. This is a resource that one could use to undo stress at home and work, or when one is on the road, especially when trapped in an unsettling hotel.
