From Stress to Calm
These CDs enable you to gain control over your experience of stress. Stress
is neither good nor bad in itself, but it is essential to learn to manage it
in order to maintain health and well-being. Stress arises as a result of our
response to a situation, not from the situation itself. By mastering the simple relaxation exercises on these CDs, you can learn how to choose your
response to every situation, and create calmness at will. You will protect
your physical health as well as your emotional life - but still achieve the
success that is rightfully yours.

What the press says about this CD set:
"3 of the best stress busters
1. Self Hypnosis CD Kits, £24.97 - From Stress to Calm
Part of a collection of self help CDs launched by Harley Street
hypnotherapist David Botsford, this double disc offering concentrates on learning how to manage and gain control over the experience of stress. It
combines relaxation techniques enabling the listener to learn to choose their reaction to different situations, with Baroque
music."
(Good Health magazine, August 2004).
Testimonial
David Botsford's CD "From Stress to Calm" is balanced, well researched
and intelligently put together. It gives simple, easy to follow instructions on
how to deal with stress. I have found it useful when trying to come to terms
with a number of anxiety-provoking situations in my life. The hypnotherapy
exercises occupy a sizeable proportion of the material, and all of these are
well crafted and enormously effective when practised in a focused manner.
The advice presented during the remaining CD time on how to manage and
cope with stress is consistently compassionate, lucid and wise.

Approaching stress
Stress is neither good nor bad in itself. It can be useful
in some situations, its absence a problem. Stress can enable us to reach
peak performance. People who downshift can find the absence of stress a
problem. Retired people too can suffer from lack of stress. Learn to focus
on one thing at a time. |

From type A to type B
The difference between type A personalities - competitive, hard-driving,
ambitious and ego-centric - and type B personalities - who are laid-back,
easy-going and tolerant, take time to do things they enjoy and appreciate
relaxation - but who achieve just as much or more than type As and
experience much less stress and far better health. Eight steps to make the
transition towards more of a type B personality. |

Progressive relaxation
Relax each of the muscle groups of the body in turn,
reducing the level of tension and stress inside them. Every thought or
emotion is manifested in the muscles - in a sense, we "think with the
muscles" - so continuous stress leads to muscular tension. By following this
exercise of progressive relaxation, you can release that tension. |

Change your thinking
Cognitive therapy aims to reduce the impact of the cognitions which led to
the stress reaction. The achievement of well-being takes place simultaneously on the levels of thinking, feeling and action. "You largely
think the way you feel." The ABCDE formula. Develop unconditional self-acceptance (USA) and unconditional other acceptance (UOA). |

Fight or flight
The flight or fight syndrome is an involuntary response
which increases blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, blood flow to
the muscles and metabolism. This was useful in prehistoric times when facing
a sabre-toothed tiger, but we need a more useful response today. |

Creative imagination
An exercise for changing, your cognitive thought patterns, to gain control
over the way you feel. A numerical scale to recognise stress levels at any
given moment. Visualisation exercise to change your inner state and adopt
type B personality traits. Disputing the irrational beliefs in order to gain
more effective emotional consequences. |
| 4 |
Relaxation response
The opposite of the flight or fight syndrome is the
relaxation response, the body's innate way of creating calmness. The
practice of meditation - a focusing of attention inwards - has been proven
to reduce blood pressure levels and improve health by invoking the
relaxation response. |

In the real world
Taking the lessons from these exercises out into the real world, and living
daily life by taking action to create the life and experiences you want. |
| 5 |
Meditation
This guided meditation draws from a variety of Eastern
traditions to first create a state of inner calm and tranquility, and then
carry out a mental exercise for transforming your attitude towards
situations which have resulted in the stress reaction. |
5 |
New philosophy
A relaxation and focusing exercise which draws from the previous material on
the CDs, ties it together and gives positive affirmations for a calm and
resourceful future. |
David Botsford explains what stress is and how to create calmness. Listen to
the two CDs and let yourself develop the habit of relaxation - reaping rewards in your health, relationships and career. Your success is 100%
guaranteed or your money back! |
