STRESS REDUCTION AND CREATIVE MEDITATIONS

Over soothing background music the author gently leads the listener through a series of meditations that progressively relax the body head to toe. The mental images, largely focusing on positively uniting mind and body, are satisfying affirmations that seem to touch the inner doubts and worries that occur when people stay centered in their intellects. You get where you want to go in life by holding those images in your head first--completely, intensely, and with a calm and relaxed mental state. What comes after that is as automatic as riding a bicycle, says Marc Allen, in a narrative style as smooth and integrated as this way of thinking about change.
