A great comfort

This CD has helped me recover from a very difficult time. A lot cheaper than therapy, for me personally, more effective. It may not be perfect for eveyone (what is), but give it a chance.

Well done! I recommend this CD.

I just recently got this CD and I am pleased with it. It is just what I expected, calm guided imagery and affirmations. I found it very relaxing and plan to listen to it nightly to both relax from the stress of the day and to put positive life-affirming thoughts into my head. I have to admit, when I first heard Naparstek's voice I didn't like it but within a minute or two it grew on me with it's calming presence. For some people, the guided imagery and affirmations may cause strong reactions. I was actually surprised by this even though Naparstek forewarns the listener that this may happen. I think it is important to seek help (psychotherapy, medication) for depression outside this CD. This is not a cure for depression. I do think it is a wonderful tool that can be used in one's own home to help though. I highly recommend this. I plan to try some of Naparstek's other CDs in this series as well.

This is a helpful tool for people dealing with depression -

Belleruth Naparstek's soothing voice itself is a valuable aid to relaxation and calmness. The guided imagery is extremely helpful in centering oneself and in becoming relaxed. As Belleruth says in the introduction, you may find that it will ease you right into restful sleep the first few times you listen (especially if you listen at bedtime, as I do). It's worth the effort to stay awake, though, to follow the suggestions in the imagery and also to listen to the affirmations. I would highly recommend this audio CD, as well as another CD by Naparstek on coping with stress, to you if you are willing to take the time to be open to new ways of healing yourself.
