Life-Changing
"Making the decision to come for Relaxation Training was the first step in a life-changing process for me. I use relaxation techniques in a variety of places --- at home, at work, at the beach, even in public --- and at all different times. I feel healthier, happier, and more in control of my mind-body. My external life has not changed; I continue with an ever-busier schedule in an ever-more stressful world. But my ability to cope has increased and strengthened tremendously."
Physical Health
"The benefits from Relaxation Training have positively affected all aspects of my life: my energy level, relationships, memory, muscle tension and headaches, and self-image. This valuable tool has empowered me to take control of my own mental and physical health and my unhealthy reaction to life's stresses. Relaxation Training has enabled me to access my own "voice" in the midst of this noisy, fast-paced, multi-tasking world. Thank you, Dr. Gayle! I am grateful beyond words."
"The Relaxation Training allows me time to zone in on only me and my health. I am able to shut out the world and all my problems for 30 solid minutes while at the same time being guided to a more serene, positive state both physically and emotionally. Relaxation Training has taught me to use breathing to get through difficult times."
"Everyday life is so hectic with working jobs, raising children, keeping a home and taking care of other people that taking time to relax is not considered important. Relaxation Training has guided me into a new understanding of how closely related mental and physical health are. The training has helped me to see my life as it is and to picture the life I want."
"Relaxation Training has taught me how to relieve my stress almost immediately. By routinely performing this exercise, I've learned how to actually relax without the use of alcohol, drugs, or just plain denial. My body and mind remind me to never forget to perform this important training."
"I believe that stress is causing at least 60% of my physical problems. Because I can't change some of the situations causing my stress, I must be able to relax in order to lower my stress levels. I have learned to relax in the proper way by using Dr. Rozantine's Relaxation Training. My management of the stress in my life is much improved and I am handling the stressful times better."
Finding Balance
"I have come to realize that I cannot eliminate stress from my life, and so the techniques I have learned to calm down and ease my reactions to the stress have been very important. I have learned through these times of quiet that in our lives we need balance. I cannot control or eliminate stressful situations, but I can give my brain and body a time of total relaxation."
"The Relaxation Training has been very helpful for me. I now stop and think about what I am doing more. I was always stressed about my family members. I now stop and smell the roses, before I was always jumping from one thing to another and getting upset. It was taught me to relax and think about what was going on and now I get thoughts of deep breathing and relaxation . When I am at home or in the car, I use the relaxation method. It really helps."
"I always have had a tendency to not be able to ever relax or calm down. My life had been a go, go, go kind of experience. But since I started the Relaxation Training I'm able to calm down and think things through. My life is still fast paced but it's better since I know that I can remember breathing techniques. I love my 30 minutes of relaxation, taking time for myself has become very important to me."
"I have dealt with stress and tenseness most of my adult life. Working with the Relaxation Training has been extremely helpful to me. I have learned to use the deep breathing exercises to help me under times of great stress. Dr. Gayle's voice has such a calming effect, it almost immediately puts you at ease and this in turn helps in becoming relaxed. "
"Prior to receiving Relaxation Training, I felt as though I were in a bubble of unbelievable stress with no way out. Relaxation Training has taught me a brand new way of handling the stressors that life gives to me. I can be a more effective mother, wife, and employee. In other words, I have learned a more effective way of taking care of me so that I can function in my other needed capacities."
Feeling Peaceful
"For me, the Relaxation Training is a luxury I have never allowed myself to have. It has helped me to recognize when I am not relaxed and to consciously take action to feel calm and peaceful. I look forward to each relaxation session."
"Coming to a place of complete relaxation is mind lifting and helps you to feel at peace with yourself. No matter what is going on in the world or your life, everything stops for that moment you have. Now I know what a moment of heaven feels like. It's great for mind, body and soul. It becomes life changing when you apply it."
"I am getting better about not getting upset so quickly. I have learned to stop and think about the situation first. Throughout my day, I take long deep breaths and try to relax the muscles in my body that are feeling stressed. Not only does this help me physically, but emotionally as well. Overall, the relaxation therapy has helped me to feel better as a person. I also feel it has contributed to the way I communicate with others."
Relieving Pain
"I've been able to forget about my problems and really get relaxed and feel good afterwards. I get so relaxed I fall asleep quickly which I hadn't been able to do because I would have so much on my mind. I've been in a lot of pain because of my back and to get relaxed helps to ease the pain. I look forward to the relaxation training. It has been very helpful for me."
"Relaxation Training has helped me so much with learning to focus on pains that I have in my body and learning to relax those spots and find relief.. The first time I went in, I was able to relieve a strong headache by relaxing. It has helped me in medical procedures that I have had, with anxiety during the procedure. My whole body feels better and I feel more in control."
"Relaxation Training has helped me to learn to control my anxiety and panic attacks. It has helped with focusing my mind and with sore muscles and headaches."
Parenting
"Dr. Gayle's Relaxation Training has taught me skills that I can use on a daily basis in stressful situations to decrease my anxiety considerably. Using these techniques and learning to relax in this fast paced world we live in has helped my parenting skills as well as my relationships with my co-workers. I have even been able to help my child learn to relax more by playing relaxation music in the house and letting her take a warm bath with a scented candle on the counter. The benefits of this relaxation therapy are numerous. I feel a healing in my body and mind."
"Through the Relaxation Training I have learned how to focus more on how to relax daily at home. Although a complete, deep relaxation is not normally achieved with a 5 year old son and an 8 year old son running through the house, I am able to relax a little at a time, thus allowing me the benefits --- more patience and understanding and more satisfaction through the day and better focus on my family. Relaxation Training has also made me more aware of the need to have relaxation. I feel my down time is more quality now. I can tell in my body when I have neglected myself. I look forward to my Relaxation Training, knowing the 30 minutes are mine!"
