First review by Alison Prior

"Gentle on your mind II comprises The Cloud and Healing Waters two deep relaxation exercises designed to calm and relax, leaving you with a deep feeing of well being": so says the introduction to the tape spoken by Steve Brisk with music by Mike Cross.

When you have limited mobility as many of us who need to relax do, it would be nice to know what is expected before the tape actually starts. This is all the more surprising because Steve have MS himself.

If you have a hearing impairment and whereas music can be useful, when you are struggling to hear the spoken word, which is rather soft and the music is rather intrusive on occasions, then it makes life doubly difficult.

I found it quite easy to relax with The Cloud with the scenario you are talked through, which recommends that you lie on your back with the option of sitting in a chair but I struggled with Healing Waters because of the sound of running water in the background, all I could think about was wanting to go to the toilet.
