TOTAL WELLNESS General Wellness, Healthful Sleep and Stress

With over twenty guided imagery programs to her name, Belleruth Naparstek is a practiced and positive guide to the healing power of the mind-body connection, through "deliberate, directed daydreaming." Her slow, almost monotonous voice is, at the same time, soothing, calming, caring, and accepting. She outlines each of the individual programs, tells the listener what to expect, cautions against listening while driving, then begins the relaxation and imagery. The combination of Kohn's music--simple cascading harp, string, and piano sounds--and Naparstek's narration has a calming effect, lulling the entire body to relax. Each program is focused on a specific area, while the whole package is sure to help the listener relax and let go of stress, anxiety, and sleeplessness. W.L.S.
