Product Description

Product Description

DOES STRESS HAVE A GRIP ON YOUR BODY, MIND AND SPRIT?
Whether it shows up as lower-back pain, insomnia, low-level anxiety, or just general malaise, tension can grip our lives and keep us from living up to our full potential. Dr. John Harvey has organized his relaxation techniques into five different categories to help you discover where your tension resides. Using a symptom checklist, you can match your symptoms against the five levels of relaxation - muscular, autonomic, emotional, mental, or spiritual - and learn the proven techniques that will guide you to a relaxed, tension-free state quickly and effectively. Some of these relaxation techniques have been practiced for centuries, some of them were developed by twentieth-century physicians who have researched the effects of prolonged stress on the human body, and some of them have been developed by Dr. Harvey himself, drawing on his years of treating patients worn out by the stress of everyday life. Using these techniques, anyone can achieve Total Relaxation.
A sixty-minute CD containing four guided relaxation techniques is included at the back of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book I have been looking for!!!, 15 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Total Relaxation (Book +CD) (Paperback)
To anyone that feels the need to take time to relax, this is the book for you!!! I suffer from anxiety and high blood pressure.....not only does this book look at that, it also looks at muscle tension, anger, sadness, and meditation! I have been looking for a book like this forever! It has everything combined all in one book! Better yet, it has a 60 minute cd with it! Dr. John Harvey's voice is so very relaxing! It is just a wonderful package all together for someone who may suffer from these things or just to combine his thoughts in your every day lifestyle..... This is a great book!!!!! I am very thankful for finding it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional, highly usable tool--a must have resource., 2 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Total Relaxation (Book +CD) (Paperback)
Thank you Dr. Harvey for taking the time to author Total Relaxation. Your book and CD are joys. As a developer and facilitator of workshops for personal change, Total Relaxation is an excellent resource that I recommend.

Dr. Harvey moves smoothly from simple to complex techniques. The book is well researched providing solid information for those readers who like more detail. The book design and illustrations are beautifully executed and add to the understanding of the material. I especially appreciate the four guided relaxation practices on the CD (included with the book). These "practices" give life to the words in the book by allowing the reader to "learn by doing." Completing these practices moves the information from the head into the body/mind. Buy this book for yourself as well as for friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Total Relaxation offers consise approach to holistic health!, 5 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Total Relaxation (Book +CD) (Paperback)
As a psychologist, it is my understanding that more than 50% of doctor / patient visits are reportedly related to stress issues, rather than an actual medical problem. Dr. Harvey, author and director of the Allied Services Psychology Department (Scranton, PA) combines proven techniques in a consise package to offer a simple and effective approach to holistic health and stress management. His included relaxation CD makes this book an even more valuable and affordable purchase.
