Make up your mind
After using it, the best way to understand selfRelax's
breakthrough is to take a look at all other
relaxation products and services available on the market (tapes, CDs,
software, biofeedback
devices, websites...). When reviewing any of them, ask yourself the
2 following questions:
- Is it really personalized?
Does it take account
of... |

hypertension, anxiety/depression, labor preparation, just

Can you control the
pace of a session? |
in the "pace control" mode,
you can put the session
on hold to deepen or explore your inner sensations
and mental images |
- Is it really simple and convenient?
- Do you need a manual to understand how it works?
- Can you get a truly personalized session immediately in less than
5 clicks?
- During a session, are you actually guided "step-by-step" into
relaxation by personalized,
--detailed and specific instructions?
(as opposed to biofeedback devices that only tell you
--how stressed or relaxed you are –
in case you don't know it yourself – with, at best, a
--limited choice of prerecorded, non-personalized
exercises)
- Is it available on demand, anytime, anywhere?
