1.0 out of 5 stars Boring and not enough actual practice, June 1, 2004

I guess if one had never heard of imagery or guided relaxation, all the talking and talking about it would be of value. I expected more guided meditations, imagery, whatever, than this provided. It was mostly discussion and explanation and very, very little guided imagery. And the little of that that was found was done by Dr. Rossman. (See next paragraph for why I think that's bad.)

I also just spent $60 for 5 CD's with about 15 guided meditations of Dr. Rossman for healing cancer from within. (From his web site) While these WERE actually all meditations, the fact is that each one is almost exactly identical, except for a small piece in the middle of each. I feel that when you've heard one of Dr. Rossman's meditation tapes, you've heard 'em all!

5.0 out of 5 stars The world's most soothing voice?, November 22, 2004

This review is from: Self-Healing with Guided Imagery (Audio CD)

I have been using Marty Rossman's audios, initially for self-help, but eventually to help my clients as well, for over a decade. Just as I did, clients often need considerable repetition before they can internalize his intonation and phrasing. Anything new from Marty is a must-have for me. Do yourself a favor--learn to talk to yourself the way he "talks" to you on this CD. Your life will change.

I am new to learning Meditation. And I really wanted to learn about Guided Imagery for health reasons. This recording gave me good ideas to get started. I feel I learned alot by listening to this tape.
I would say that if you are new to Meditation and Guided Imagery, this would be a good CD to listen to.
