Learn about conscious mental relaxation and
its importance to weight loss

"Just relax." Easier said than done, right? Several products help me to achieve conscious mental relaxation quickly and easily. I'll share them with you here.

Relaxation is key not only to overall health, but also to weight loss. There is a well-established connection between stress and weight gain. Stress also reduces your body's ability to burn calories.

Relaxation is especially important while you're eating. If you eat when you're rushed or stressed, it shuts down digestion and greatly diminishes your ability to absorb vital nutrients. AND your body won't "register" that you've eaten, so you're more likely to overeat.

So relaxation is key to keeping your metabolism in tip-top shape.

What is conscious mental relaxation?

Conscious mental relaxation means that you are aware of your state of relaxation--the first step in relaxation. Then, you consciously focus on relaxing. Meditation and yoga are two well-known methods for conscious mental relaxation, but there are other tools that can help you, too.

Relora®
Relora® is a supplement with a patented combination of two herbal extracts, Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense. This combination has been clinically proven to reduce stress and to control stress-related eating.

It creates relaxation without drowsiness or sedation, so you can still go about your normal daily activities. I've found a very inexpensive resource for this product. This source's products have been analyzed by an independent consumer lab, and have been found to contain consistent levels of active ingredients. So just because they're cheap doesn't mean that you're not getting a quality product! Click here to purchase Relora®.

Insight CD
This product has been a mainstay of my own relaxation exercises for several years.

The Insight CD uses audio technology to focus your brain waves on relaxation. The CD uses the soothing sound of rain with a combination of frequencies and binaural beats. This combination induces amazingly powerful states of deep, relaxing meditation. And it only takes 24 minutes of your time.

NOTE: You will need to use stereo headphones to listen to this CD. The headphones should cover your entire ear. If you need a set, I found a great pair for under $9!!! You'll see that the reviews for these headphones are fantastic, too.

I highly recommend the Insight CD for your relaxation!

Also, I found a great site with some free relaxation exercises and stress management techniques. I just love the "self-empowerment" focus of this site! Check out www.self-empowerment-techniques.com by clicking here.
