Description

Using the Alpha Relaxation System can help reduce the effects of long-term stress. Listening to the special audio environments created on this recording can slow down our pace and entrain our brain to produce brainwaves more conducive to calm and centered living. Although a number of high-tech sounds for creating deep relaxation are built into this recording, it is important not to lose sight fo the fact that the music itself has a large part to play in the relaxation response. Dr. Thompson is an accomplished musician and composer, and has orchestrated specific music techniques that have stood the test of time for causing deeply relaxed states. Certain types of flowing and serene music tend to cause relaxation in and of themselves. The tempo of the music contributes to this effect and the movement of various elements of the music has a wonderful way of lulling the mind into a relaxed state. In some cases, Dr. Thompson has taken 3-D recordings of nature sounds and has slowed them down over time so that the body can follow cues from what appear to it to be real-world sounds. It is very easy to get the full effects of this recording. You will need good stereo separation, either with headphones, or by positioning yourself between your speakers. This recording consists of 2 CDs: The first CD is called DEEP RELAXATION, and is used to create a very deep Alpha state associated with an expanded sense of detachment from stress, worries, and disturbing problems and a greater ability to see things from a larger perspective. It is best used for stress reduction, relaxation and meditation. The second CD is called ACTIVE RELAXATION. It uses sound patterns to produce a higher Alpha State, bordering on Beta, in which inner-directed mental activity meets externally directed mental activity. Use this CD to enhance work, concentration and productivity.
