I've bought several guided meditations in the past year, but I never really like them. The people doing the guiding had unpleasant voices, which to me cancelled out what they were saying.
Luckily, by chance, I ordered one by Belleruth Naperstak, and this one works for me. She has a very pleasant voice, and the background music isn't distracting. Also, she has both guided meditations, and a section on affirmations. She says that the affirmations work better for some people than the meditations, and I agree. The way she does them works well for me. I think they last about 12 or 13 minutes, and in that short period of time, I drift off to sleep. I truly think that listening to them over and over has "soaked into my mind" and is helping me with my attacks(which are related to my poorly controlled high blood pressure). I intend to order a couple more of her CD's. I think they are the best.

I love this CD!!! It has been so helpful in reworking the way I think about panic. It is a great tool to use. I would highly recomend this to anyone with a panic disorder.

In fifteen minutes or so, I learned how to breathe,relax and take control. Sounds too easy but it works!

During a great time of turmoil including radiation therapy, loss of job stress, etc. with a history or anxiety and panic attacks including medications tried, this has literally saved me. You have to keep working at it-try listening to parts of it at least two to three times a day until you can do the techniques on your own when your experiencing anxiety or panic. The simple, soothing breathing techniques are extremely helpful and beneficial. It also has helped with sleeping problems. I often listen to it on my ipod and do the techniques as I'm falling asleep, too. Highly recommend-worth a try and worth the money. It should be titled Panic Attacks and Anxiety, though. It also has several techniques on it in case one is better than another for you such as affirmations, guided imagery, etc. and the music is very nice. All of them work for me. I have tried yoga, tai chi, and acupuncture as well but the great thing about this is you can practice the techniques anywhere, anyplace, any time you feel panic or anxiety without fuss or being obvious. In some cases you may have to slip away to a private place for a few minutes, but it requires little effort.

I bought this for my husband to help him with panic and anxiety attacks and it has helped him greatly. He finds the affirmations especially helpful, particularly when he's at work or in the car and not able to close his eyes and meditate along with the guided imagery track. Often he turns on this CD at bedtime as we go to sleep and we've both found it helps us sleep better all night. Because we liked this CD so much we've bought several others (Healthful Sleep, Healthy Pregnancy/Childbirth) and enjoy those just as much. We highly recommend Belleruth meditations!

I just recently was diagnosed with anxiety attacks, and bought this CD. I can highly recommend it. It takes about 45 minutes to listen to the entire CD, but you can break it down to what you need. i find myself very relaxed after having listened to the entire CD - halfway through, I am almost asleep :).

Helped me relax, panic attacks still occur but have minimized in intensity. You have to do this daily otherwise it does not work. Has everything my therapist was trying to teach me but now I can be walked through it calmly.

This is an excellent CD. I am a Mental Health Therapist by Trade, and I have recommended this CD to a number of my patients. This is where most mental health healing begins, and that is simply by meditating and quieting the mind.

I bought several different ones ...no real way to know if they work....Health Journeys Guided Meditations For Help With Panic Attacks....could not see any real difference ....donated to the public library!~

Thanks! I love this CD. Put it on my iTunes/iPhone amd use it when I have a panic attack or flying (which I hate).
