I was attracted to Health Journeys recordings because I have Fibromyalgia/Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome, and had a ruptured spinal disk. I was unable to take medications for these problems due to adverse reactions. I thought I was doomed to a life of pain, but tried Belleruth's recordings as a last resort. Am I glad I did!

I was so pleased that this one, specifically for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, was introduced!

If you are having trouble sleeping, experiencing the IBS that so often accompanies FMS, if you ache all over and feel like crying all the time, the answer may not be more meds... it could just be this fantastic recording.

Belleruth empowers people to help themselves. Her soothing voice and wonderful imagery have helped me gain control over my pain and over my illness, and brought me a new outlook on life.

Don't feel like a guinea pig any longer, at the mercy of a doctor who may not have a full understanding of your illness and who treats you with painkillers, antidepressants, or, "It's all in your head." Or, if you're receiving competent care, complement your medical treatment with these recordings - they won't interfere! There IS something YOU can do to care for yourself... to ease your pain without drugs, and to prepare yourself each night for deep and restful sleep.

I can't recommend Belleruth's recordings highly enough. I can't imagine anyone whose life wouldn't benefit from them.

Ms. Naparstek has a very soothing and calming voice which is a pleasure to listen to when one is in so much pain. Her CD is very positive, therapeutic, relaxing and uplifting. You can actually feel your body healing itself and the "fibrofog" lifting away to bring back the healthy, loving, beautiful self you once were. You should listen to this CD once daily for powerful affirmations that will condition your body and mind to be as healthy and strong as it should be. I highly recommend this CD to anyone struggling with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome who wants to get their life back.

Sufferers from the chronic pain of fibromyalgia can feel quite lonely. There are lots of "modalities" out there, many of which are useful in palliating the pain to some extent. Over the years, I have found that daily stretching exercises, weekly remedial massage and the use of a naturopathic diet, in that order, have yielded the most relief. I am now exploring meditation as another source of help. I heard Belleruth Naparstek being interviewed on the radio and was so impressed by her that I ordered her CD "A Meditation to help with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue (Health Journeys)" from amazon.com. I can honestly say it is excellent. She has a beautiful voice and is very knowledgeable about fibromyalgia. She is also unpatronising and non-judgemental - and we sufferers from the condition know that it is common for non-sufferers to be somewhat judgemental. Naparstek takes the listener on a mental journey that is very healthy. She recommends that the CD be listened to daily for a number of weeks. I have to say my pain is no better, but that is not her fault. I know that mental calmness is something that can't be achieved instantly. I recommend the CD wholeheartedly.

This will be short and sweet.
I have Fibromyalgia for 22 years now.
I really like this meditation and the affirmations that are included.
I am having to make myself to set aside time to listen and receive the benefits. It is worth the time.
Even if FMS is not your disease it is good for anyone living with Chronic Pain.

I was diagnosised 11 years ago and have alot of flare-ups through the years. I ordered this CD with the hope that it would help even a little bit...well to my suprise it works so wonderfully....in a time where I was stressed out and knew that if I didn't calm down I would be suffering severely the next day, I listened to this CD and the next morning woke up feeling great. I've told several people including my Nurse Practitioner that this is the best CD out there to help easy your suffering. I liked it so much that I have ordered several more of Belleruth's CD to use at different times in my battle with FMS.

This was a gift I purchased and the reciever has used it well, being a good therapy for the mind and body in what can be a daily struggle in living with Fibro.

I cannot say enough about this CD. I have fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue and I have listened to this CD many times. I believe that I feel better after listening to it, breathing with it and following the carefully spoken peaceful suggestions about relaxing and reframing my attitudes and lifestyle toward healing. Ruth's voice is soothing and logical at the same time. I have a lot more hope because of the wonderful sense that this CD makes and the feeling of peace that I get about making better healthier choices for myself. I am proud of myself when I play the CD and participate in the imagery. I believe it can be of great benefit as a tool to anyone who suffers from any health problems. I highly recommend it and believe that it is well worth the money.

I'm hooked on Belleruth's guided imagery CDs. Every one is specifically made to address a particular need. I have about 6 and listen to all of them. (Not at the same time) She's a healer and I'm grateful to have found her.
