Relaxation Station DVD

Particularly beneficial for high-energy kids, this DVD has unimaginably beautiful images of wildlife, accompanied by a gentle voice with occasional relaxation exercises in breathing and guided imagery and an original music score.

For approximately five minutes at the beginning of each hour, and briefly at the half hour, a soft voice is heard that gently guides the child in various breathing and guided imagery exercises.

It is wonderfully calming using outstanding animal photography, easily learned breathing patterns and the mesmerizing effect of the rhythms of the music.

If you have problems getting a child to come down from a “high” and get ready for bedtime, this DVD could be the answer you have been looking for.

Filmed around the world by an internationally acclaimed wildlife videographer and produced for Children’s Hospital of Michigan by Academy Award winner Sue Marx.

The Children’s Hospital of Michigan is ranked one of the best in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. A major initiative of their integrative medicine department is to expand their non-medicated pain management efforts. The Relaxation Station is a new innovative video designed to help in this effort.

Though The Relaxation Station was originally created to help calm children who are hospitalized, studies have shown that it is effective for all children including those with special needs as well as their families.

In our busy and often stressful world, The Relaxation Station has proven to have a calming effect on the viewer by transporting them to a sweet, gentle and peaceful state of mind. And, more importantly, it gives them easy relaxation and meditation techniques which they can use throughout their lives.

"Teaches children to use breathing to cope with their pain and reduce their stress." Jocelyn McCrae, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Children's Hospital of Michigan
