This video is a teaching video to help in meditation. It uses relaxation and imaginative techniques to relax and sooth fear and stress. The process uses a visualization of the beach with detail in the senses of being on the beach.

I found that just listening to the video was calming. I felt the tension drain away as I paid attention instead to the voice on the video. This video would be a wonderful middle of the day meditation as that seems to be the most stressful part of the day for me.
