Withing three days of listening (twice a day) to this tape, my life underwent a marvelous healing. The tape far exceeded my expectations. Wonderful narration and beautiful orchestration combine to give a delightful empowering interlude. Highly recommend~!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Could it be true?, April 23, 2001

I ordered this guided-imagery tape(I like to call them my personal GI's - heehee) and some others directly from Belleruth's website a few months ago. I listened to this one, one for self-confidence, and one for "general wellness" all around the same time, alternating. I listened to the Smoking more at first, then the General Wellness towards the end. About over a month ago, I got mononucleosis - like a bugger flu that just DOESN'T want to go away - and on April 6th I didn't feel like smoking. Initially I thought it was because I was so sick (funny was, it never stopped me before! I know you KNOW what I mean.)

Today is April 23rd, and I still haven't smoked! I have hardly any cravings, the intervals between them were/are surpringly huge. Even coffee is comfortably bearable; alcohol however, is not.(all in stride I suppose) Not like in 1994 when I quit though, it was 4 months of terror, nightmares, and rollercoaster rides and sweaty palms! But this...? This I cannot explain. I bought the tapes originally while looking for something else actually, and bought them on a whim. Glad I did.

I can't say whether it was the tapes or not, but all I can say is, this non-smoking thing just came and decided to stay. Which I think is pretty swell. :) And her voice.....is so classic. Something very earthy and natural about it. The other side of the tapes/CDs are filled with affirmations. I find both equally supportive, and I can use either depending on which kind of mood I am in. All in all, I listened to them at will for about 2 month's time before this non-smoking thing happened to me. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Hi, this is Angie (Berlin, Germany), the lady who left the message two down...

It is September 2002, and I STILL DON'T SMOKE. I'm impressed! :) I still do listen to her other tapes as well and have since passed mine on to friends who wanted to quit. I still do believe in this product of Belleruth's and I hope you all trying to ween yourselves of "Dark mother's Smokey Teet" (a line from Gunter in "Friends") will feel inspired to grab for this instead. ;) Good luck! You can do it!
