The Journey On Relaxation was very similar to the stress reduction tracks I listened to last term in my stress management class, I believe it is the same man speaking. As I listened to the relaxation track I could imagine my blood flowing through my vessels and my heart pumping the blood to circulate through my body. I continued to listen and felt a weight lifted from my shoulders as stress began to leave me. I teach right now and I have adult learner students that I have used stress reduction techniques on before a test to get them relaxed and thinking clearly to focus on their test. I have tried a few approaches to using the stress reduction techniques but it seems most effective when the reader uses a slow, almost monotone voice and there is instrumental music in the background to assist the client in relaxing. Currently, my students are my clients and they can get stressed before tests or just with everyday life so these exercises are very beneficial. For the future, my clients will be children but I plan to work with the school board to improve lunches so I am not sure how I can use these techniques on them but I know I will use them when I become frustrated.
