 A Wonderful, Inexpensive, Effective Tool for Stress Reduction, Relaxation, and Health December 16, 2008

I love it! The "Warning" box on cover of the "Relax Rx" CD says: "WARNING: Possible side effects of practicing the self-hypnosis techniques in this program include restful sleep, increased energy, and improved mental clarity."
And it's right!
Relax Rx, from Dr. Steven Gurgevich, is a terrific audio CD program that teaches practical relaxation tools using his clinical self-hypnosis techniques.
We're not talking "relaxing" in a generic way here. We're talking about the specific medical definition, which has very clear health benefits. According to Dr. Gurgevich: "Relaxation is a physiological state in which the heart rate and respiration are calm, blood pressure is relaxed and normal, digestion is functioning comfortably and efficiently, muscles are relaxed, nerves are calm, and one feels a sense of peace, calm, and safety."
There are a variety of ways to tap into the mind-body connection -- meditation and tai chi for example -- to achieve this relaxation. But for some, self-hypnosis truly is the most effective way to ensure that your thoughts and intentions (mind), are communicated to your body.
I've listened to quite a few self-hypnosis programs, and let's be honest. Most are ineffective. But Dr. Steven Gurgevich's work is the real deal. It's straightforward, and, surprisingly effective. (I am a huge fan of his wonderful "Self-Hypnosis Diet" book and CD, as well as his Self-Hypnosis study course, with "Apothecary" of CDs for various health issues and situations.)
Relax Rx is a 2-CD set, featuring Dr. Gurgevich guiding you through 11 sessions that teach you how to achieve the relaxation response quickly.
I had a chance to speak with Dr. Gurgevich, and he explained that the trancework sessions are organized from longer to shorter sessions. The objective is that over time, you'll learn to condition your mind to produce the relaxation response more quickly. Eventually, you'll be able to achieve a healthy relaxation response in less than ten minutes!
The very last track is called "Relax to Sleep." It's a wonderful hypnotic induction that relaxes, and then guides you into sleep. (It's better than a sleeping pill!!)
As a patient advocate for people with chronic illness, I'm always suggesting that patients -- myself included -- incorporate a clinically-proven stress reduction approach into our daily health routine. Relax Rx is a wonderful way to do it.
It's inexpensive, effective, and, no side effects -- except, of course, the aforementioned restful sleep, increased energy, and improved mental clarity!
Seriously, given the economy, and the stress so many people are facing these days, I'm inclined to buy a carton of Relax Rx CDs and hand them out as gifts to all my friends and family members!
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Gurgevich's Relax Rx CD.

I have a strong interest in psychoanalysis and got a couple of Gurgevich's CDs as a gift.
Over time I got to sample his Relax, Anxiety and Panic, and Dating and social comfort as well as 16 CD set of Hypnosis fundamentals. They all share a lot in common. They are all recorded in a similar style, and have about 40% same content.
This is a interesting and powerful tool. I personally like his style, but its such a personal thing that I strongly recommend finding a sample, or buying a small set like this one before committing to smething bigger.
Price on this set is very reasonable. Many equivalent products run into the hundreds.
There is a lot of similar products out there. I also recommend looking into Roger Elliott, and Tony Robbins for similar effects.
