I bought this for my father before his brain tumour was removed. He is not the sort to listen to stuff like this but absolutely loved it. He was (rightly so) extremely anxious about his surgery. This really helped to calm him down. He would lay on the sofa and we'd put the tape in. We'd even flip it over for him. I never listened to the tape but overall I'd say it did help him deal with anxiety before and recover after the surgery. He is fine and happy today!

This was the very first guided imagery tape of Belleruth Naparstek's that I ever used. I have since become a total Belleruth-o-phile. I was a terrified surgery candidate. I went from being a basket case to serene and ready. It was a miracle!! I love her voice, the images, the music and the way she uses words. A lot of care and reassurance comes through on her voice. And it's a very grounded experience. Non of that airy-fairy stuff that's out in the ozone!! Excellent. Can't say enough. Saved me from terror!!!

I'm a day out from surgery and ordered this tape (and another) to help with anxiety and to hear after surgery. I hoped for a tape I could listen to before I go and while in the hospital. There are two tapes -- one just has new age music on it, which I could get anywhere. The other tape has 20 minutes on each side. On the very first side, she gives boring instructions for 10 minutes, then does 10 minutes of guided imagery. On the other side, she has 10 minutes of affirmations, then it just stops. So for a person, who's feeling helpless in the hospital -- it doesn't work. You don't want to hear her same instructions over and over again. The 10 minutes of imagery is good enough, and so are the affirmations when you turn it over. But it stops after 10 minutes, then there's blank tape for another 10 minutes. I thought it was a total waste of money.

I have owned this tape for 5 years. To date this is the best tape--bar none for accessing your inner healer. Many tapes are on the market but I have found none to compare to the quality of this product. Anyone contemplating a surgical experience should ensure they maximize their healing outcomes! This tape will help you feel safe, nurtured and in competent hands throughout your experience. It is on a cosmic but practical plane of reference. Nothing for you to lose and all for you to gain.....best wishes

This guided imagery tape was a Godsend in helping me to prepare for retina surgery - for the second time in six months. I was most anxious the very first time and wanted to be more relaxed for the second, more complicated procedure. So, I bought three tapes by different authors, and found that the guided imagery/affirmations on this tape were just right for me. I listened to the tape 8 or 10 times before the surgery. Two sentences were especially helpful - particularly when they came to mind as I walked into the operating room. The very first described what I saw - "a team of caring, competent professionals, busily getting ready for my surgery". The second sentence described what I felt- the support of friends, family, and "magical allies" who, according to the tape, were with me in the Operating Room. With this thought in mind, and a smile on my face, I went under. My post-op experience was similar to that described in integrative medicine journals about using guided imagery to prepare for surgery: I recovered more easily than before, felt little or no pain in my eye, and have done well since. I highly recommend this tape and I wish you well.
