Relaxation for Health and Well Being

A Manual and Workbook for Individuals, Trainers and Therapists

by David Thomas Ph.d 

The purpose of this 188 page e-book is two fold: first, to teach "profound relaxation," a extremely useful skill and for most people, an easy one to learn; and second, to discuss "differential relaxation" and some of the larger issues surrounding an overall strategy for dealing effectively with the stress of everyday life.

The first two chapters focus on profound relaxation.  The purpose is to teach you how to relax deeply, both body and mind, in a single session of fifteen to twenty minutes.  The relaxation instructions included with this manual will help you learn this skill.

The ability to relax deeply is an enormously helpful skill, a health-promoting skill.  Like meditation, profound relaxation is considered an anti-stress response since it leads to an overall calming or quieting of the nervous system.  If practiced daily, it can reduce your vulnerability to a wide array of stress-related symptoms and disorders.
