Relaxation, Focus, and Memory Training: A Guided Brain Health Program

I've got this CD about 3 months ago. I try to play the meditation every day or every other day. I think it really works for me reducing the stress level, anxiety and improving concentration. Sometimes when I'm tired I'm getting in a very deep hypnotic state and Dr.Amen's words really sink into my brain. So that this sound and scientifically proven brain-training strategy is becoming an essential part of my lifestyle making it easier to introduce some new healthy habits concerning nutrition, sleep, etc. And I'm taking some Dr.Amen's vitamins. I think they create great synergetic effect together with this meditation.

This CD by Daniel G. Amen MD is something he uses in his practice fo persons with ADD.I have been listening to it for 2 weeks and definitely am feeling calmer, more relaxed, focused in general and clearer in my thinking.Dr Amen is a researcher and medical doctor who has studied over 85,000 brains. He does not guess based on symptom clusters. Heuses geneology, diagnostics, and many toolsand SPECT imaging to view each person’s brain. He has found 7 different kinds of ADD. Some people have overlapping issues. He can look at those images and knows how to help a person heal, based on, WHERE their brain is over-active or under-active. Specific areas of the brain depending on the needs need different interventions . He has proof that brains heal in his book, “ Healing ADD” which would be important for you to read to gain confidence in Dr Amen and help you understand why this CD is going to work. He stresses ADD is NOT a person’s fault. It is a medical issue like getting glasses.Stress, Traumas, concussions and more can be healed! If you have been treated without relief forADD, don’t waste any more precious time!If you get the book and feel someone you love has ADD, get his book “ Healing ADD”! There are many aspects of ADD that can be resolved with solutions that do not require meds.Amen is committed to doing no harm. But he is qualified medically , and has found the best, least intrusive medications to help specific problems only if needed. This CD onrelaxation, focus and memory training is one he uses in his practice. All of Amen's books, CD, DVDs are on Amazon.Read, Learn, and find out what you can do -which includes this CD. I now am aware this is a hereditary problem. There is such hope which is a source of joy! But there is a need to become informed. You can start with the book. Follow his advice. The CD is another tool to help which I turned to after initiating other changes like, a healthier diet and more sleep. I feel like it is making a difference after 2 weeks. I am calmer, less stressed more relaxed and my focus is improving . He advises to stick with it for a month. I do not know why I would want to stop! It feels like this CD is helping me become aware of choices and how I use my time. Sothis appears to be a tool to help become aware and change old patterns that do not help us and actually cause ADD problems. I am glad I found this CD. I hope you give it a chance to help yourself or someone you love.

I have worked as an Occupational Therapist for over 45 yrs in geriatrics and psychI tend to worry --so I purchased this cd & it has greatly improved the quality of my lifeI am more relaxed & focused & I now listen to it 2x/day--early A.M. & when I get home from work.I've also sent this cd to friends & relativesI urge u to buy it--U WILL BE GLAD THAT U DID!!!!

This will relax you so much. The more you lay down and listen the more relaxed you become over time. Don't know what I would do without it. Looked long and hard for a tape like this

If this CD is NOT a person's initial introduction to relaxation and mediation scenarios, then it will probably be a disappointment because of having to listen to Dr. Amen's tone of voice. Mediation and relaxing sessions, require a very pleasant tone of voice but Dr. Amen's voice was too nasal in its tone and I found it very difficult to stay centered during the 25 minute session. Save your money if you are not a novice to mediations on a CD. Also the seller packaged this product very poorly. One can see tire marks outside the package and the case holding the CD was bent and will not close properly but he CD did not crack.

Wow!!! It really works and my family and I benefited from it before the new year! It truly helped me envision how to let go of the painful memories and create happier moments in the present. It goes well with yoga too!

Fabulous meditation cd.

This puts me to sleep before it is over. Lol... I played it in the morning so I could really hear the whole tape thru the end so I could hear what Dr. Amen says as it puts me to sleep...

This meditation was incredibly relaxing the first time I played the CD. However I have not been able to stay awake for a complete second listen. Whether that defeats the purpose is up to the individual.

very pleased with this.

This is the first cd that does exactly what it is supposed to do. It leads you slowly into a completely relaxation state. Worth every penny.

I am very happy with this CD and play it regularly when I go for my afternoon nap. It helps me relax and feel more positive. Wonderful to relax with!

Great
