Product Description

Eliminating Stress, Finding Inner Peace is an important step on the healing journey. Stress kills, there’s no doubt. Stress eats away at our happiness and joy, as well as our stomach lining. Stress raises blood pressure and directly harms our cardiovascular system. Stress depresses our immune system and allows chronic illnesses to overwhelm us, causing pain, disability, and even death. Basically, stress robs us of happiness and joy.

Stress is a mental state that can cause severe negative emotional and physical consequences. It can be entirely eliminated, or at least greatly lessened, by adjusting our understanding and attitudes, and by learning simple yet pervasive mental and bodily relaxation.

This book and its accompanying stress-reduction CD will help you deeply relax. It will enable you to release the acute and chronic stress we constantly carry in our bodies and our minds. It can help you remove the blocks and obstacles to your inner peace and joy, and prevent and heal stress-related illness and disease.

To heal yourself in this manner is a profoundly loving act. It is an act of self-love, because you are taking the time and expending the energy to heal yourself physically and emotionally, and to bring more happiness into your life. Regular practice with the CD will produce deep, long-lasting results.

Customer Reviews

Excellent!
This is a book and CD. The book explains some of the key elements and benefits of deep relaxation, and the 30 minute CD provides an excellent way of achieving this state of inner peace.

This CD has got to be one of the best guided meditation CDs available. Dr. Weiss uses imagery that is easy and natural to invoke, he has a soothing enough voice, and Steve Halpern's music is perfect.

A quick comparison with two highly rated similar products: Deepak Chopra provides a good CD, "The Soul of Healing Meditations", but it leaves you your own for several minutes at a time (with just the music sound track) and therefore doesn't help you stay "guided" and focused. There's a highly rated CD by Bodhipaksa, "Guided Meditations", which is also good, but there is no music to keep the mind flowing along (the CD is voice only), and the imagery is not as easy or natural to invoke as that of Dr. Weiss.

"Eliminating Stress, Finding Inner Peace" is the third such work from Dr. Weiss, and is the best of the three. The two previous works ("Meditation" and "Regression") last 20 minutes each, which I find a better length of time, but unfortunately Dr. Weiss uses an echo effect for his voice that doesn't quite fit, and the music is not the same quality. These days I use "Meditation" once in while for a change.

Dr. Weiss is a graduate of Yale Medical School, and former Chairman of Psychiatry at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center in Miami. He spent many years developing successful treatment protocols that include guided meditation. (I should mention that he successfully pioneered the use of past life regression as a treatment modality. Some people find this disagreeable, however, even if you're one of these folks, don't let it stop you from acquiring "Eliminating Stress, Finding Inner Peace" which stands entirely on its own merits as an excellent guided meditation.)

Calming Relaxation
The CD included with this book is well done by Brian Weiss. One of the best of its kind. His voice is clear and soothing to help guide you into a relaxing state of mind and body to help you eliminate everyday stress. Extremely helpful if one encounters difficulty getting to sleep.

A useful tool in the battle against stress
I found that while the book that accompanies the CD is a little simplistic for my needs it may be helpful to people whose understanding of the various conditions applying to stress and anxiety is minimal and it is well laid out but the real value of this product lies in the meditation CD which I use daily in addition to my medication to help control panic disorder which started only a few months ago. I can confirm that it has made considerable difference to my wellbeing and I have monitored improvements in my blood pressure. I recommend its consistent use as an aid to anyone troubled with stress or anxiety problems.
