Give yourself or someone you love the gift of relaxation for the holidays with the award-winning Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace, the stress-relieving CD from National Stress-Relief expert Susie Mantell. I’ve been listening to guided imagery CDs since I was in my 20s, and Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace is one of two that I use regularly to help me de-stress and sleep soundly.
The Holidays are such a stressful time with so much to do, lots of extra running around, on top of all of our regular daily activities, it can be exhausting. I know that for me, I find myself worrying more than usual starting right about this time of the year, every year.
Holiday cards. A picture for the holiday cards. Stamps and address labels for the cards. Presents for the kids. Something for the bus driver, the kindergarten teacher, the activities teacher. Presents for my parents, my siblings, all their kids. Decorating. The tree, the outdoor lights, an advent calendar. Who to visit on which day. And oh yeah, bills still need to get paid, groceries bought, blog posts written. That’s what swirls around in my head in a constant motion during the holidays!
This is a gift you can give that will definitely keep on giving. Doctors, nurses, therapists and caregivers alike use Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace to reduce the symptoms associated with stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia and sleeplessness. Listeners even find relief from pain of arthritis, Fibromyalgia and TMJ, headache, muscle tension, back and neck pain! Giving someone this CD is like buying them a trip to the spa, except it only costs $14.95!
Listening to Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace is like being covered up with a warm blanket and letting relaxation wash over you like a wave. Susie Mantell‘s voice is soft, and low, and the definition of “soothing”. Any time I put the CD in, within a minute of listening, I feel my shoulders drop and my neck relax. Sometimes I listen to it on my laptop just long enough to relax and settle my mind, and sometimes I put it in my Discman so it can soothe me to sleep. It works so well that it took me 3 or 4 listens before I ever made it all the way to the end!
In those 30 minutes, listeners visualize soothing images like the ocean, and a green forest, before visualizing a soothing, healing light entering their body and relaxing all the way down from the head to the toes. I like that Susie says it’s normal for the mind to wander during meditation, and to acknowledge the thought and then put it away for later. The CD makes me feel empowered, reminds me that I’m doing the work of relaxation, with Susie as my guide. I really hope I’m expressing to all of you just how wonderful this CD is, to buy as a gift now or any time of the year!

disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace and was asked to post my honest opinion.
“Book of the Decade”, and let me tell you, it is FANTASTIC. It’s a whopping 287 pages that are each totally packed with not only amazing world records, but TONS of eye-popping photos. It starts with “Firsts”, like the first million-selling CD (Dire Straits’ “Brothers in Arms” in 1985), and ends with “Lasts”, like the the last use of guillotine in France (surprisingly, in 1977). In between, the pages are packed with records set in categories like human achievements, sports, animals, engineering, and media.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=2598860a-6c04-43ee-a3f3-01495f336509)
