Ask to Relax was created by professional author and tutor Colin Bradshaw-Jones with one aim; to produce a simple, effective method of mastering feelings and emotions.
Colin is the author of the epic 10CD Welsh-language course Cadw Swn, which uses music and stories to create a relaxed state of mind to accelerate the learning process. He's been working on relaxation methods for the past ten years, but Ask to Relax was a technique which took him completely by surprise. He was going through one of the most difficult periods of his life at the time;
'To be honest everything was just getting too much, too difficult to deal with. There were things going on in my life which were out of my control. I was dealing with things the best way I could, but big issues were impacting on me every day, affecting my family and personal relationships.
Things came to a head one evening outside my house in when a minor incident with a driver left me boiling with anger.
Maybe normally I'd have been able to deal with it, but because of everything else I was just really angry. But an answer came:
A little voice popped up inside my head, and asked me a question which almost immediately decreased my anger. It was uncanny. Almost instantly I knew that I had the basis of a technique which I could use to help others.
I managed to put my negative feelings behind me almost immediately that night, and in the coming months I found that the technique could be used to create positive states of mind as well. That was an incredible boost to me!
By putting the whole course onto a single CD I hope that I've shown how simple it is to learn and use. It also means that we can keep the price low, so that anyone who'se interested can afford to buy it.
I also wanted to make a demo session available to anyone simply for asking, I'm convinced that by trying out the basis of the technique they'll see just how effective it can be.'
