Bestselling author and lecturer, Joan Borysenko, offers empowering, guided meditations, taking listeners through a series of breathing and stretching exercises to reduce stress and induce relaxation as part of the iPhone app “Meditations for Relaxation and Stress Reduction,”also available on CD.

The first meditation – Breath of Life, Breath of Love – guides listeners through each part of their body, helping to connect with the life force energy within each cell and balance the body’s energy.

The second meditation – Stretching and Relaxation – is a series of meditative stretches and self-massage instructions to restore the body, mind and spirit.

Listeners can also play random affirmations with the press of a button; view the entire playlist and select affirmations they like; mark off affirmations to create a customized playlist; and look the playlist to repeat.

The CD is available on Amazon for $9.36, the app is available on iTunes for $5.99, and Hay House’s Web site sells it as an audio download for $5.48.
