MindSpa

Options
Hi all

I just wondered of any of you out there had purchased the MindSpa on:
www.Meditations-UK.com and what you think of it? Whether it is worth £195.00? I'm considering and have searched on review site but reviews are very neutral / bland and don't really help in my decision-making.

Any REAL purchasers out there who can tell me what they think would be great. :)

Thank you.

    Seems very expensive for something that may not "be your thing". Why not buy a relaxation cd to see if this is something you can tolerate - not everybody can. I know it's a slightly different system - lights etc - but am not convinced.

    The most beneficial method of relaxation is to learn meditation or self-hypnosis. You can then do this at the bus stop, in the supermarket etc. No need to rush home and plug yourself into a machine!

    It's hard to recommend a certain cd as there are so many different styles (e.g. mindfulness, autogenic relaxation, hypnosis, NLP etc), but it really is a "courses for horses" situation. Personally, I've found that people in the UK who use American tapes, often can't "get on" with them as the language can be quite touchy feely / new agey / bizarre, and the "Californian" type accents can grate - not very relaxing! (Although some love this:rolleyes:).

    Try something basic. The Oxford cognitive therapy centre used to do a cd called "How to Relax". Very clear, effective instructions. I used to give these to clients all the time with great results. Perhaps have a scout around for one.

    Alternatively, I'm sure ther will be meditation classes / courses that run somewhere near you. Buddhist centres always run courses and they welcome all comers - and they don't push the religious aspect!

    Good luck!
