A relaxing question...
Feb. 2nd, 2009 09:07 amDo any of you clever people know where I can find a guided relaxation tape? Online and cheap? or any way at all at any cost?
I had one. Someone I used to work with - the first to leave the theatre because of the lay-offs - let me borrow his, and I copied it. He made a special order for it from the States, as it isn't something that's available up here. I hadn't listened to it in a year or more, but on Friday night I came home from work so frazzled I wanted to scream. Stresful week. Ah-hah, thought I, just the thing, I'll use the relaxation tape. That should do the trick.
So I lay back on my bed with a few deep breaths, pushed the button on my tape - and promptly got the plastic tape all tangled in the playing mechanism and had to get up and carefully pull it out without breaking the tape. Thinking: this isn't relaxing me, dammit, this is stressing me even more. By that time I was laughing, but still wanted to take a hammer to the frakking thing.
When I got it all untangled, it was playable, but not quite right. Not the tape it used to be. The pleasant female voice has become a masculine drawl and the music has switched to a minor key.
So I need a replacement. Since my friend with the original has gone on to other jobs and greener pastures, I can't just borrow it from him again. Any suggestions?
