5.0 out of 5 stars excellent guided meditation and affirmations, January 13, 2010

I have used several of Belleruth Naparstek's guided meditation CDs over the years (and also given them as gifts), but this one for weight loss may be my favorite. The CD has 2 sections: One is guided imagery spoken by Ms. Naparstek, with specially composed music in the background, which she suggests that--in the beginning--you listen to once or twice a day with "relaxed attention." She also explains that over time, you may not need to listen as often. It is suggested that you NOT do any of her meditations while driving, as they may make you drowsy. The second part of the CD is a group of affirmations, which you can listen to any time--including in the car. Both the guided meditation and the affirmations are gentle, relaxing, uplifting, well-researched, and well-produced. I highly recommend them. The use of this particular CD doubled weight loss in a placebo-controlled pilot study at Canyon Ranch. You can learn more about these CDs and even listen to audio samples from them at [...], although I think Amazon offers a little better price. (I am not affiliated with the company, aside from being a very satisfied customer.)

I listen to alot of these kind of tapes, and this one is just exceptionally good. Aside from her calm and relaxing voice, what she says is so apt and kind at the same time. I love her phrases 'neither blame nor praise' and 'friendly detachment'. She just gives you a really good framework in which to think about weight and issues. I also have to admit that I had to listen to it 10 times before I heard it all, because I kept falling asleep! As I buy these things to help me sleep, that's a huge plus in my book. I just relax and let this mature kind voice flow over me (she doesn't sound like a young girl and I appreciate that) and I fall asleep, listening to wisdom and hoping that some gets into my subconscious! Very happy find and I'll look for more of her stuff as the need arises.
