Nice timing on this thread. My first client wants to do relaxation work, which is not something I have ever been very comfortable with. I have always resisted anything having to do with being nice to myself. So I have been looking for sources so that I can learn enough about relaxation to do this with my client. I have added the suggestions from this thread to my list. Here's what I have so far:
