Twelve Years Depression Free | Print |  E-mail
Sunday, 24 August 2008
This Depression imagery was the favorite of the Vietnam vets at the Brecksville V.A. up until the time we created the Healing Trauma imagery for them. This trauma survivor, suffering from chronic depression, actually calls imagery a miracle.. (When it works, it really works!). Here is what she emailed us:

I had chronic, debilitating depression all my life due to physical and sexual abuse, and I had desperately tried everything to alleviate it, from medication to hypnosis. I read everything I could get my hands on. Nothing worked -- at best there would be brief lessening of pain, but nothing significant. I really felt doomed, as if my situation was hopeless.

Then, one day, I bought Bellruth's (sic) tape, and it literally changed my life.Twelve years later I am still free of depression -- but only when I listen to this tape periodically to keep up the treatment. It used to be I had to listen to it every day. But over time, I was able to listen to it less frequently, and now I only listen to it when I feel myself sinking back.

What is so powerful about this tape compared with everything else out there? I think there is something about Bellruth's imagery and the way that she directs the body’s energy through it that seems to cause an inner shift to take place. For me, the imagery on the Depression tape is particularly powerful because it generates a new energy source that seems to well up inside, and it's a powerful feminine source. Stress and negativity and self-hatred become displaced by that energy. It's really remarkable -- definitely the closest thing to a miracle I've ever experienced. I'm grateful. Needless to say, I've worn out many copies of that tape--and have ordered many more to give away to others who have struggled as I have. My life is completely different thanks to this tape/CD.

 
A Terrific Tale Of Transformation From Trauma | Print |  E-mail
Sunday, 17 August 2008

I downloaded the HEALING TRAUMA mp3 a couple weeks ago and I have had a major transformation in my life. I would never have dreamed it possible, but here I am feeling free from anxiety, insomnia, and fear. I have more confidence and a sense of peace in my life. All this is new to me. I have been so fearful of so many things throughout my life. Now, not so.
 
I have listened to the mp3 religiously since downloading it. I took the weekend before last and really focused upon my healing. I listened to the mp3 twice a day, giving myself the time to process and nap when I felt like it. I journaled pages and pages. By the end of the weekend, I was feeling so unlike myself - in a good way.

 
Imagery + Relaxation + Exercise = 103-Pound Weight Loss | Print |  E-mail
Saturday, 16 August 2008
An emailer just wrote us, citing this review on Amazon as being the reason he started using guided imagery and hypnosis CDs to help him lose weight. Alternating David Illig’s Weight Loss CD with Martha Howard’s, Emmett Miller’s and BR’s, with a serious uptick in weekly exercise, this 37-year-old man lost 45 pounds in 5 months and plans to lose 10 more before going on a maintenance plan. Here is the comment he read that motivated him:
 
Goodbye to Sleepless Nights, Hello to Feeling 10 Years Younger! | Print |  E-mail

We got this almost too-good-to-be-true feedback from what Cheryl used to call, back in the day, a “happy tape user.” But we actually hear this, in various permutations, quite a lot. Guided imagery, it turns out, is an ideal intervention for insomnia. The voice tone and music soothe the primitive, over-alert, survival-based parts of the brain; and the content and images distract the neocortex that’s busy worrying, obsessing and reviewing the slights and resentments of the day. Here’s what she had to say:
healthysleepThe guided imagery for Healthful Sleep has changed my husband’s life. Not an exaggeration. He used to take medicine to help him relax at night. He could sleep, but it wasn't restful sleep. He thrashed, had nightmares, and always felt tired the next day – even after 12+ hours of sleep. After using the imagery a few nights, he was able to quit taking medicine because he began sleeping so restfully. One big, unexpected side-benefit: he’s much better company!

I also sleep much more soundly and feel more rested. The mornings after I listen to this particular imagery, I feel what I can only describe as 10 years younger. It occurs to me that truly healthful sleep would improve general wellness, energy, mood and prepare you to deal effectively with stress. If you can only afford one guided imagery CD, I’d say get that one.

Domestic Violence Trauma Survivor Praises Imagery, EMDR | Print |  E-mail
Saturday, 16 August 2008
Dear Belleruth:

It is with heartfelt thanks that I write to you. I am a survivor of domestic violence, long-time sufferer with Fibromyalgia, and PTSD. Your guided imagery programs have given me fabulous healing and added hope to life that these 'injuries' can be alleviated enough to let me live my life joyfully.

I have used the guided imagery programs for weight loss and smoking cessation with great success, also. I praise your work and your products to others whenever I get the chance.

Your book Invisible Heroes was not only a breath of fresh air that let me actually 'name' the PTSD, but also filled with excellent information and resources for on-going healing and self-directed symptom management.

I sought outside help with a Rapid-Eye Treatment specialist [Ed. Note: EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing] and the results have been phenomenal. I am promised that the results are just beginning to surface and my life is already turning around with my face turned towards the sun instead of looking to the ground with shame and guilt.

Bless you and those that contribute to your products. You have given me information and programs that could easily be classified as 'life-saving'. My well-being has been improved, my outlook on life has been significantly impacted positively, and I am a true believer in energy medicine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Rhoda

Dear Belleruth,
I have a funny story. My mother recently had knee replacement surgery, and to help her get emotionally ready I sent her the Surgery Pack a few months ahead. To my delighted surprise, she loved the imagery and listened often.
When the day of her surgery arrived, I was with her in the pre-op room. She was getting really nervous, even though they had just given her a dose of the pre-op meds. I suggested to her to remember her CD, and as she closed her eyes, she started remembering your voice, from the very beginning of the recordings.

In a most peaceful manner, she talked out loud: "My-name-is-Belleruth-Naparstek.." I'm glad no one else heard her, or they would have either thought they had the wrong patient, or that she was having a most unusual reaction to the meds.

My mother has recovered from her surgery in record time, and her surgeon told her she could be his poster child.

Best wishes to you,

Jill

In case there’s any doubt whether it’s the content or voice tone and non-verbal attributes that get the job done in guided imagery
