Regular relaxation calms the mind, aids concentration has many other physiological and psychological benefits. Carers and clients alike can benefit from a short  meditation  session to re-balance and recharge at any time of the day.  In fact care for the carers is one aspect of elderly care which is not addressed enough. 

The older generation may not be familiar with modern relaxation techniques and  meditation.

 

 

"Relax, By the Beautiful Sea"  is an easy introduction to using relaxation CDs.

This short guided fantasy  of approximately 14 mins incorporates music and the sound of the sea to take the listener back to a sunny day on the beach where there was nothing to do but lie back and listen to the waves.  The soothing voice over helps to bring back the sights,smells and sounds of the seaside and encourages relaxation.

Composed and created by Sheila Searle , an experienced massage therapist, musician and activities coordinator,  this CD can be used as part of a reminiscence session, or simply as a short relaxation session for groups and individuals at any time a "stress buster" is needed.

Dear Sheila,
 
For someone like me who just doesn't know how to relax your CD has been fantastic.  The music eases my breathing without any instruction it is all so natural.  I have tried other relaxing CD's but they seem very regimented to me.  Yours actually gives the listener time to relax!  All of this and it has the extra happiness element as I hear you say 'Shake it all out - you don't need it' which those who know you will know that's a Sheila saying.
 
Many thanks for letting me into this wonderful world of relaxation, even though its only short it relaxes me very well.
 
Best regards,
