Introduction

We all want to get the most out of life; living each day to its fullest. But life can often become a drudgery if we lose touch with our lives and their special meaning. Very often we just aren't felling very well. We're run down, our vitality is low and we may even find ourselves feeling a bit depressed and emotionally drained. These symptoms are the result of too many stresses in our daily life. We continue in the same old patterns of living, doing little or nothing to change the way we react to these outside forces that wear us down. When things get rough we find ourselves thinking, "I need to relax and unwind." "I need a vacation." "I just need to get away from it all." "I'm just getting too burnt out."

When the long awaited vacation finally arrives, how is it usually spent? Running from here to there trying to entertain ourselves. We find that by the end of the vacation, when it's time to get back into our daily routines, we have not truly relaxed or renewed ourselves; but rather we are even more run down than before we started.

So what is the answer? Mental health professionals advise us not to depend upon our annual vacation as a cure-all that will put our lives in order and put us back on the right track. They do recognize the importance of "getting away from it all," but suggest rather that we take several "mini-vacations" each year to get away from our old routines and environment to reduce our stress levels and renew ourselves. It is not possible or affordable for everyone to get away every couple of months for a weekend away when we need it. "Relaxing With Nature" is an effective alternative. What I have produced through audio means will allow you to escape mentally, transcending your stressful environment for a little while anytime you wish, when you need to. This way you will not only get away from it all, experiencing the relaxing sounds of Nature, but you will also realize some of the deepest states of relaxation of the body and mind. A renewal of the SELF!

The idea to develop this illustrated booklet, and especially the cassette tape, of these carefully selected methods for reducing stress and promoting helath came about through my desire to provide individuals with some constructive, effective methods for reducing bodily tensions and managing stress in a pleasant way. The countless requests from students throughout the many years I have been involved with instructing the Hath Yoga exercise convinced me of the need to tape these methods for their benefit. These students have been from all walks of life. Most of them in very stressful occupations such as school teachers, nurses, high school and college students, police officers, businessmen, as well as working mothers and housewives. They all seem to share two things in common: a limited amount of time and a fast-paced lifestyle, which is a definite contributor to stress; and the same symptoms we associate with too much stress, such as low vitality, fitgue, poor blood circulation, high blood pressure, tense tight muscles, mental restlessness, nervousness, and insomnia, attributing to irritability and moodiness, anxiety and even varying degrees of depression.

The students were quite amazed of the benefits received as a result of their efforts and discipline while enrolled in the weekly sessions I offered. It had often been suggested that a tape as an aid, in their home practice, would encourage the self discipline that had been established in the group sessions. My intention was to produce a simple easy-to-follow tape and booklet. I feel I have accomplished that goal with "Relaxing with Nature".

Most people are impatient. They want immediate results without spending much time obtaining them. I feel you can receive immediate effective results, if you study the booklet, so that your practice is done correctly, and then just simply practice the easy-to-follow instructions on the tape. By the end of the tape you will have experienced the desired effect; and with each successive practice, the effects will be greater due to your improvement in concentration, performance and discipline that is provided by using the tape.

It is my hope that "Relaxing with Nature" will encourage regular practice so that you may realize the many benefits that can be yours, enhancing your life!
