Alpha Relaxation System

Summary: Excellent Relaxation Tool
Review: I found these 2 audio cassettes to be very helpful in #1 falling asleep and #2 the "Active Relaxation" tape was good while active to help you concentrate and keep your mind in good shape.

The relaxation was very nice with the 3-D effects (while listening through headsets) and fell asleep shortly (15 minutes) and had a very restful sleep.

The next cassette I want is the Delta Sleep System to see if rest can come easier and more secure sleep. With the alpha tape, you can have a restful nap, but not for night.

Summary: An excellent aid to meditation and relaxation
Review: This set includes 2 CDs.

The first CD is an effective aid to deep relaxation. It is an interesting blend of natural sounds, music samples and space sounds, modified to enhance the Alpha brain wave pattern. I found it to be every bit as relaxing as I had hoped it would be, and believe me, I'm a tough customer!

As a Manic-Depressive, I can attest to the need for effective relaxation techniques in maintaining health and balance. I am going to make Dr. Thompson's CD an important part of my therapeutic regimen.

The second CD contains background music to help increase productivity. Sorry, I didn't try that because I like feeling stressed when I work. :)

My main negative comment is that the packaging implies that Alpha waves can only be attained by experienced meditators. In fact, we enter the Alpha state any time we close our eyes. I would also like to see more data on exactly what signal processing was performed to enhance the brain waves; and whether there are any subliminal imbeds and what kind.
