Description:
There is no one right way to go with Belleruth Naparstek on a journey, no one right way to "visualize." That may sound too basic a directive, but Naparstek encourages listeners to linger over any given image or rearrange her words and phrases into something that works more effectively. Belleruth Naparstek's voice is at once soothing and deep; the pace of her presentation offers ample time in which to follow the instructions and "see" the images suggested in this deeply relaxing, healing inner journey. People undergoing chemotherapy can expect from this tape the familiar components of guided imagery--the deep relaxation, engaged senses, detached awareness--and healing images that work to alleviate the suffering associated with chemo. The profound imagining on the part of the listener reaches "all the way to the bone; into each and every cell, cleansing and clearing." Part of the tape's purpose is to bring the listener to believe in his or her own healing. Guided imagery, though not a substitute for medical treatment, has shown that using the mind in this way helps alleviate pain and boost the immune system. There is no doubt that Belleruth Naparstek's beautiful voice, combined with the deep musical tones that provide the background "music" and the rich, nourishing, 20-minute experience of guided imagery, has a profound impact on body and soul.
