Sound Healing: Ease Chronic Pain: Music - Imagery - Book - Journal (Sounds of Healing S.) [Hardcover]

Howard Richman (Author), Judy Nelson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 25, 2005 | Series: Sounds of Healing S.

A book and cd package

Modern medicine in America has finally embraced what alternative healers have known for centuries: Music and guided imagery have a profound healing power. The first volume of the groundbreaking series Sound Healing combines a guidebook with a CD of original musical compositions and guided imagery that people can use as a self-help tool to ease chronic pain. These two healing therapies are backed by so much positive medical research that they are now being used in hospitals and clinics across the country.

The book explains step-by-step how these techniques work and how to use the CD to help relieve pain; it also features a journal where readers can record their pain level, their progress, and their feelings. The CD offers relaxing piano music designed to influence the biological responses that can trigger healing, followed by a soothing spoken guided imagery to bring listeners to a meditative, pain-free state.

Created by professionals in each healing art, this remarkable package is designed to help alleviate all forms of chronic pain-from backaches and arthritis to headaches and muscle spasms.

4.0 out of 5 stars Speaks to my body in a very powerful way!, September 6, 2009

I didn't buy this product from Amazon...I just happened to find it on the shelf while we were out and about. But I felt like it needed to be reviewed. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in January and have been working toward trying to keep myself healthy and pain free. I've tried a couple of different protocols, a few metaphysical and some just based in physiology. The results have been mixed. Even some of my more 'woo-woo' attempts have not been as successful as I had hoped. This CD blew me away. I can actually feel my body responding to the music in the musical section and the guided imagery meditation is one of the most peaceful and powerful meditations I have experienced! It takes about 55 minutes to get through both parts of the CD, but I believe it will be an excellent investment of my time, in time. I've only listened to it twice so far, but the impact it has had on me was so powerful I thought I needed to share.

This is definitely worth its while. I first thought I could easily find similar videos (mp3) on youtube without having to order a book.
However the mp3 are very good, especially the meditation. This quality is not so easy to find for free. And the price is a bargain. I am currently doing a meditation a day and plan to hold on to it for at least 30 days. If you consider buying this book go ahead and do it, it will bring you more than you expect.
