This book is intended to benefit both the trainers and their students and was written with both parties equally in mind.
There is a section specifically for students dealing with techniques that are appropriate for their level of understanding including: the basic relaxation technique; relating to body language; identifying the coloured bodily parts; sounds and sensory awareness; using imagination and being positive; outside activities 'tuning-in' to nature to improve well being and quality of life.
This is followed by a related section for trainers with full rationale covering: stress and need for regular relaxation and recreation; various relaxation techniques; the affect colour has on mental, emotional and physical conditions as well as the consciousness; tips for making affirmations and the power of positive thinking to enhance the quality of being alive.
This material is a wonderful resource for trainers. It can also be used to assist others to understand stress and to experience the benefits of guided relaxation, visualisation, affirmation and meditation techniques.
