Review
"As Good As It Gets"Issue -- Town & Country Magazine

"For anyone tense from the stress of modern life... a wonderful way to relax. Soft, lovely music, warm, soothing voice helps the listener achieve a peaceful, relaxed state and feel refreshed and rested afterward." -- Billboard

"Great corporate gift! A copy of her CD was included for each workshop participant, and word spread broadly throughout Remington. I highly recommend Susie and her unique gifts to anyone, especially those trapped in high-stress corporate culture." -- Remington, Ann T. Buivid, Pres., U.S. Personal Care & Wellness

"Highly recommended, and hospital libraries may be particularly interested. Mantell has produced an excellent program. . . effectively uses her voice, pacing, music to help the audience achieve a state of relaxation. Further, she takes the listeners deeper into the process to show them how they can achieve a more positive and healthy life as they move out of meditation and into the world." -- Library Journal

"Peace for you alone. Is your greatest wish for peace on earth? Mantell takes listeners on a gentle journey...effortlessly floating worries and stress away." -- The Los Angeles Time Health Section

Customer Reviews

A real gem
Wow! I rarely write reviews, but I have to comment on this one. If you are looking for something in this genre, look no further. It's not just her perfect voice for this type of recording, but also the way it was recorded, she is very, very clear and yet very quiet and not obtrusive. Everything about this is just about perfect. I bought this and another tape, and fortunately heard this first. The other is a great disappointment, with the woman's rough voice and too-fast talking. Don't take a chance, buy this tape.

This is tape is such a relief!
I have really been struck by how much relief this tape has brought me - not just the first time I listened to it, but each time. This has impressed me because I have listened to all sorts of other "relaxation" tapes before and, while they've been somewhat helpful, I never really was as transported into a completely new mood as I have been when I listen to Your Present. There's something unique about Susie Mantell's voice that I really bond with. Her tone is so reassuring - it makes me feel like everything really IS going to be ok, even when none of the things I'm stressed about have changed! This tape really shows you how a changed in attitude or point of view can be everything!

My favorite time to listen to Your Present is on a long plane, train or bus ride. It really helps to make the time pass in a relaxed way. And if I'm in a plane and there's turbulence, it really helps to calm me down. My second favorite time to listen to it in bed before going to sleep - really helps me drift off.

Thanks, Susie Mantell, for creating something so soothing and helpful.

a powerful relaxation tool
I have been very stressed lately which resulted in me not being able to sleep. I searched and found this CD, and honestly I doubted that it could help. For the past week now, I have been listening to this CD everynight right when I am about to go to bed. And instead of staying up all night looking aimlessly in my room, I fall into deep sleep and wake up relaxed and refreshed.

So far, I haven't listened to the whole CD, after 5 min. I fall into deep sleep. But the CD recommends that you keep it on even if you sleep. Your mind listens even if you are not awake.
