Benefits of the unique Harmony4Life Progressive Relaxation recording

In your daily life this will result in being able to tense one muscle group whilst keeping the rest of your body as relaxed as possible, which will lead to reduced tension and more energy.  Amongst other benefits, progressive relaxation techniques are proven by research to significantly improve alertness and reduce anxiety (Thomas et al, 2000*).

• Use it just 10 minutes a day, or less, to make a significant difference to your life, including enhanced quality of sleep, energy levels and the ability to manage stress, anxiety, fear, frustration and anger

• Achieve deep muscle relaxation using just one, or a combination of tracks from the Harmony4Life Progressive Relaxation programme depending on your needs and any time constraints

• Learn techniques that you will be able to use in any situation where you can’t leave but need to take time out, e.g. in stressful situations or times when you feel angry or irritable

• Release tension when you can’t exercise, e.g. due to lack of time, an injury, etc; this programme can be used to exercise every muscle group apart from any injured of course!

• Slow your breathing and lower blood pressure through the deep relaxation achieved through this programme

• Helps with insomnia, hypertension, ulcers and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

• Movement becomes easier and energy is more effectively used

• As with any exercise progressive relaxation improves blood circulation and can prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis; this can be beneficial during a long haul flight in line with recommendations that you should “try and tense your leg muscles as frequently as possible throughout the flight” (taken from http://www.flighthealth.org/preventing-dvt.htm)

Customers often prefer this relaxation technique to hypnosis or meditation as they are not passive and do not have to rely on their ability to quieten the mind or imagine certain things; instead it distracts the mind away from unwanted thoughts by actively engaging the user.

“I have tried many different hypnosis CDs for stress management and have found that they just wind me up. My mind wanders elsewhere and I struggle with imagining what I am told to and then just get irritated when I am told ‘you are relaxing deeper’; this is exactly what I need as I find my mind is distracted from any worries as I get more and more relaxed as I follow the instructions for each exercise. Even the breathing track has worked for me- wow. This programme really is quite unique, thanks.”

“I’m getting a lot out of your Progressive Relaxation programme. I have monitored my stress levels since I started and have seen them fall dramatically. The bit that works best for me is that having a choice of five different tracks less than 10 minutes long means I have no excuse not to use at least one track daily. I find this time out really rebalances everything for me, I feel completely relaxed and revitalised afterwards."

"The best thing about this programme is being able to use it in my lunch hour during my working day- working in a sedentary role I need something like this, especially when I’ve had a stressful morning and feel wound up by my boss again! It has so many uses for me I vow to use it for the rest of my days, its a lifesaver when I'm feeling frustrated or anxious and things just get too much!”  

“Everyone I have recommended this to loves it.  This is surely a must for all!”

“Ultimately the programme was really good and totally worked as I slept like a baby afterwards and have been feeling great all day (+ swam a mile which I haven't done for some time). Just quickly though here's some feedback....generally I'm uncomfortable with this sort of thing, not sure why. However, once I'd got used to the backing track I really got into it.

"Wow, I used your CD and it was absolutely magnificent.  I've never come across anything like it before and had no idea it was going to be so effective.  I tried it at work and was amazed that I fell asleep after...for two hours- I didn't leave work until 8pm!!!  I really feel it's the answer I've been looking for to help me with managing stress and having relaxation time. 

I need this so much as I run a very demanding business and get so embroiled in the fine detail, I have been known to work 12-14 hour days consecutively.  I have even got to the point where I can feel my pulse racing, hands shaking and even my eyes are twitching. 

After using the CD just the once at work I then practiced what I'd learnt before I went to sleep.  Normally I don't sleep that well, which I have just got used to- every night I am just all over the place.  After using those techniques I was amazed to wake up the next day in exactly the same position that I had gone to sleep in.  I will definitely make time to use this CD regularly.  I have used other relaxation techniques before, such as when you imagine feeling relaxed and they just haven't worked."

Jacobson developed the first series of active progressive relaxation exercises for treating chronic stress and tension.  He was quoted as saying, "An anxious mind cannot exist in a relaxed body."

Most of us unconsciously tense our muscles when feeling stressed and in response to other emotions such as anger, frustration and fear.  This wastes a lot of energy and leads not only to stiffness and perhaps pain but also to tiredness and reduced functional ability.

Similarly, muscles that are tense over a long time shorten and lay down supporting fibres to maintain tension.  This means they cannot function as they would if they were loose, elastic and free. 

By learning how to release locked muscles and tension, using progressive relaxation, movement becomes easier and energy is more effectively used.  With regular practise the techniques will become easier to acquire and will become an invaluable tool for life, which you can use anywhere at anytime.
