Rating: Summary: I've enjoyed it so far Review: I've had this CD for a little over a month now and have started listening to it again on a daily basis. I find it very relaxing. Her voice is soothing and genuine and the background music perfectly underscores the narration. It's not a hypnosis or sublimal messaging CD. Rather, it promotes positive reinforcement about your ability to lose weight through repetition of certain phrases and through visual imagery. If you haven't done visual imagery, it involves that kind of visualizing different areas of your body that the other reviewer mentioned. It can be easier for some people to get used to it and "zone out" and harder for others. What I will say is that when I do listen to her CD, I feel more relaxed, less stressed and more positive about my body. This isn't a miracle weight loss CD. You still have to exercise and eat right. But it does create and reinforce positive feelings that may help you with your weight loss goals.
Rating: Summary: Most effective approach I know to "painless dieting" Review: My sample is small--one person--but I find that listening regularly to the tape does what I'd hoped for. One effect is: that the compulsion to eat (when not hungry)is no longer occurring; another is I'm now spontaneously aware when I'm no longer hungry, and I stop the meal there. Yay!
Rating: Summary: Excellent affirmations; not-so-good imagery Review: The cassettes use guided imagery on one side and deliver positive affirmations on the other side. Background music is used throughout the tape. Mrs. Naparstek employs images that I did not find helpful (and as a Christian even apalling). Example: "imagine a cloud of spirits around you, some dead, some living, who are cheering you in your efforts...". On the other hand, I bought the cassette mainly for the affirmations, and I was not disappointed there. You are encouraged to view your body as "your oldest friend" and accordingly see to its well-being. The induction is rather short and coupled with images I could not relate to. Therefore I decided to use a longer induction from one of Janet Decker's CDs in conjunction with this tape and was quite satisfied with the result. No miracles, but then I do not use this tape very often and at least I seem to feel less hungry the day after using the tape.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: This guided imagery is a wonderful way to relax. I have learned in recent years that my body does not handle stress very well and I find it very hard to quiet my mind and meditate on my own-- this CD enables me to completely relax for an entire 30 minutes-- no small feat for me-- and clear my mind. Whether or not this will help you lose weight I really don't know, but I do believe that you have to be healthy and strong inside in order to change the outside.
Rating: Summary: Spiritual release Review: This tape has taken me on a journey through my body, into my mind, and deep into my soul. It is a truly spiritual and inspirational experience.... even for the 'skeptic'. With practice, this tapes teaches the importance of connecting with our inner-selves. Learn to appreciate your body, your temple, your friend with the help of Beleruth's comforting voice! This is a must have for the price. The tape should be listened to daily for proper effectiveness.
Rating: Summary: The RIGHT Kind of Help.....FINALLY! Review: This tape is great! It taught me how to totally relax my mind & body & focus on my health & inner healing. This tape is better than an hour body massage & more encouraging than any diet book I have ever read.

Rating: Summary: Extremely Positive Experience Review: This tape, A Meditation to Help You With Weight Loss, is an extremely positive experience. It was one that was listed in "Walking" magazine. I was a little skeptical, at first..However, I read the reviews before my purchase..I was totally satisfied. Ms. Naparstek's voice is very calming, very sincere... I appreciate the fact that this tape is not time consuming...You can listen to the positive affirmations in the car, and I play the meditation side before I go to bed. One of the worse parts about battling weight loss is the negative feelings. This tape is full of positive thoughts and sayings..It works great for me!
