Ten Guided Relaxation Tapes

There is a set of ten guided relaxation tapes available as free MP3 downloads that were developed by Marla Craig and Lana Harder, Program Development Staff, University of Texas at Austin. The set includes a 7-minute Deep Breathing exercise and a ‘tense and release’ Muscle Relaxation (18 minutes). 1Mb per minute of audio, but each relaxation is split into smaller ‘tracks’ for easier downloading. I have downloaded these to my computer and used them many times therefore, I can recommend them without hesitation.

  • Track 01.mp3: Deep Breathing
  • Track 02.mp3: Muscle Relaxation
  • Track 03.mp3: Muscle Relaxation
  • Track 04.mp3: Muscle Relaxation

Cruise Imagery is a boat trip to a secluded bay on a tropical island; a waterfall cascades from high cliffs into the sea below and exotic birds fly overhead (12 minutes).

  • Track 06.mp3: Cruise Imagery

Forest Imagery is set on a wooded hillside in autumn; late-afternoon sun filters down as you wander through trees and come to a log cabin. You step inside, and warm yourself in front of the gentle fire (18 minutes).
