Summary: Too much talking / intro before getting into the relaxing
Review: I agree with the last critique. Half of the tape is "introduction".

Summary: Too much introduction and not enough helping
Review: I bought 2 different relaxation tapes from Amazon. I thought this one was not very good. The lady on the tape spent half of the tape telling me about how important it is to relax. I THINK THAT IS OBVIOUS to most of us. The author also requires you to move your body around which for me is not condusive to relaxing. And finally, 5 minutes after she gets you into the stage 5 of relaxation, the deepest relaxation for this tape, she wakes you up and tells you how refreshed you are. I just wanted to spend more time resting and relaxing and had to get up and turn the tape off, which then had the opposite affect of relaxation, more like aggravation for me.

Summary: Best Relaxation Tape I Own
Review: I was motivated to write this review after reading several with 1 star. Please give Side B of this tape a try. Side A provides adequate instruction and information, but Side B is the real gem - 30 minutes of guided meditation.
I've had this tape for over a year and it's the one I turn to the most when I need to relax.

Summary: Could Have Been Better
Review: I was not overly impressed with this tape. You're instructed to move numerous parts of your body and when I'm trying to relax, I don't want move anything! I tried to listen to this tape in bed and found it distracting when trying to fall asleep. I prefer to work more on relaxing my mind than my body at that time. In addition, I learned that I personally find deep voices more relaxing.

Summary: A great and effective relaxation program!
Review: This is truly the best relaxation tape I have tried, and I've tried many. It's based on the method of "progressive relaxation" and offers pleasant verbal guidance and subtle ambient music. Side A has an informative introduction and a short version of Ms. Devi's relaxation program for beginners to give you a sense of the process, while Side B has an extended version of the latter (which users would want to listen to the most). I found that benefits, such as greater patience and better ability to handle stress, started to occur only after a few days of consistent usage.

Review: This tape is instantly useful to anyone wanting to relax. And don't we all need to do that? Everyone to whom I've ever suggested Nischala Devi's Deep Relaxation tape loves it. Among those to whom I've recommended it are people brand new to the idea of taking time to relax, people who are bedridden, athletes and high-powered professionals needing a good reason to take it easy for a few moments, and--really--anyone looking to reduce stress. This tape is lovely and truly relaxing. I use it again and again myself .

Summary: This tape really works!
Review: This tape really works! Nischala Joy Devi's voice and flawless technique take me to a deep state of relaxation every time I listen to it. I awake refreshed and rejuvenated. There are many types of relaxation tapes on the market that I've listened to, and this is far and away the most effective one I've come across. There's nothing esoteric about it - Nischala takes you straight there with her simple yet perfectly effective technique. It works like magic. I have recommended this tape to many of my own Yoga students and had positive feedback all around. It's especially perfect for assisting the healing process of any kind of dis-ease and for reducing anxiety or stress. I use it to let go of everyday stress. In just thirty minutes I feel like a new person. My 63 year-old skeptical mom used it when suffering a bout of insomnia recently. She listened to the tape before bed each night and slept peacefully all the way through. She's no longer a skeptic. This tape has improved the quality of our lives and countless others.
