SURGERY: MINDFUL MENDING

Surgery can cause tension in the body, disturb the emotions, and put the brain into overdrive. Along with her sure grasp of holistic healing, the author’s calming voice makes this program a powerful tool for heading off these reactions and improving one's response to any type of surgery. The program's first half is for the weeks prior to surgery, while the second half is designed to reduce postsurgical discomfort, promote healing, and minimize recovery time. Supported by soothing harp music, Hopps offers visual images and suggestions that are hypnotic in their tone and impact. Her obvious belief in her methods creates openness to the trust, positivity, and gratitude she wants listeners to embrace. The program comes with a printed booklet.
