From AudioFile
"A series of tapes to assist seriously ill patients may be a very helpful tool in effecting recovery but is occasionally undermined by Siegel's sentimental manner of presentation. " (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Customer Reviews

Very disappointing
I bought this CD for a friend who has cancer. I promised her that I'd review anything before sending it to her. Boy, am I glad I did!

It is frustrating to listen to and seems to me to break the rules of guided meditition. He mentions a lot of negatives, i.e. "this is not a time for guilt or fear." Well, of course it isn't, we're trying to "enhance" the immune system, not depress people. My opinion is bringing up such words or ideas during a healing meditation is bringing them into awareness. The sub-conscious mind doesn't understand that this is NOT a time for guilt...it just hears "guilt."

I was looking for something that would talk about positives and focus on healing. This is not one I'd recommend.

A Calming Approach
Dr. Siegel uses a very calming and relaxing approach to facilitating hope and self-worth to the listener of this CD. The analogies and metaphors are excellent in that he equates being prepared for emotional problems with that of being prepared for environmental disasters. He guides by use of visualization techniques that require in-depth concertration and dis-association with distractions. His voice is pleasantly pleasing. This makes a marked contribution to the quality of the CD.

Love His Books - Not At All Impressed With This CD
I have many meditation tapes I love, but this isn't one. I love all of his books, so I thought it would be great... but I expected more relaxation and visualization techniques, more hypnosis kind of work in healing. This did nothing for me.
