Produced by the author, this audio tape contains guided relaxation and imagery on themes of nurturing your body and contacting your inner wisdom. Contracted muscles close us down mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, while relaxation opens us up. Deep relaxation offers access to the mind's fascinating storehouse of information. Images, words, and thoughts arise spontaneously with messages from our inner selves. Being kind to our bodies begins with respectful listening.

Side A: Listening to Your Body

"Cathy's voice is very healing." - Grace C.

"Cathy has a special gift for helping people relax." - Walt M.

"Cathy Holt developed this relaxation tape as a companion to her book titled The Circle of Healing. Holt is a holistic health educator, biofeedback therapist, and ecological activist. On side one, a 20-minute meditation called 'Listening to Your Body' is presented. Listeners are guided through a body scan and tension release, which is followed by a light hypnosis session designed to help listeners communicate with a body part that has a problem. Holt's tack is to query that part and ask it for a solution.

"Side two is called 'Kindness to the Body.' Here, Holt leads listeners step by step and part by part through the body for complete relaxation....Holt's voice is smooth, and her delivery is gentle. The dialogue is positive. She encourages appreciative thoughts toward the body and the incredible tasks it does automatically every day. Her stated goal is to "help deepen your connection with your body and its wisdom," and she succeeds admirably. The sessions aren't long, so they're well designed for a busy schedule."
