Product Description ------------------- This depression meditation reduces depressive symptoms - negative thinking, loss of energy, excessive self-criticalness, general discouragement, lack of motivation and loss of hope - and improves quality of life and sense of well-being. The guided imagery for depression can be used as a stand-alone therapy or an adjunctive alongside more traditional approaches of psychotherapy and/or medication. It has even been found helpful to people dealing with bipolar illness. Guided imagery is a holistic, mind-body technique that consists of healing words and hypnotic images, set to soothing music, to help with treating depression naturally. Repeated listening once or twice a day for 2-3 weeks ensures maximum impact. A separate track of affirmations shows how to relax in a briefer format, with positive statements designed for listening on the go or even while driving. Written and narrated by noted mind-body, holistic pioneer Belleruth Naparstek and scored to the exquisite, immersive music of Steven Mark Kohn. The soothing, hypnotic narrative invites imagery of the heavy fog of depression lifting, as tamped down energy is liberated and released, so that you can reunite with your own inner strength and again feel hope, love, motivation and possibility. For those who wish to try treating depression naturally, before turning to medication with side effects, this is worth a try. (Running Time: 44 min). Review ------ I just started using this CD and it has been so helpful to me during my separation from my husband. It helps me at night and if I need it, it will calm me down during the day. (Reprinted from Journeys website April 2010) --Barb A friend had used Ms. Naparstek's guided imagery s to help her through her battle with cancer and lent them to me when I was going through a rough time. Listening to them saved my life and gave me the gift of the only refuge from depression I had at that difficult time. Her words, voice, and accompanying soft music were a balm against the agonies in my soul. My gratitude can't be sufficiently expressed. A thousand thanks. (Reprinted from Journeys website August 2008) --Daniela I had chronic, debilitating depression all my life due to physical and sexual abuse, and I had desperately tried everything to aleviate it, from medication to hypnosis. I read everything I could get my hands on. Nothing worked--at best there would be brief lessening of pain, but nothing significant. I really felt doomed, as if my situation was hopeless. Then, one day, I bought Bellruth's tape, and it literally changed my life. Twelve years later I am still free of depression--but only when I listen to this tape periodically to keep up the . It used to be I had to listen to it every day. But over time, I was able to listen to it less frequently, and now I only listen to it when I feel myself sinking back. What is so powerful about this tape compared with everything else out there? I think there is something about Bellruth's imagery and the way that she directs the bodies energy through it that seems to cause an inner shift to take place. For me, the imagery on the Depression tape is particularly powerful because it generates a new energy source that seems to well up inside, and it's a powerful feminine source. Stress and negativity and self-hatred become displaced by that energy. It's really remarkable--definitely the closest thing to a miracle I've ever experienced. I'm grateful. Needless to say, I've worn out many copies of that tape--and have ordered many more to give away to others who have struggled as I have. My life is completely different thanks to this tape/CD.
