1 comments about Stress & Natural Healing: Herbal Medicines and Natural Therapies.

1. Seems as though everybody is stressed out now adays. This book gives a thorough review of what to do and even what not to do to reduce stress and to improve your health as a result. The focus is primarily on Chinese Medicinal herbs, but not soley. Lifestyle changes and nourishing foods are also discussed. The discussion on diseases caused by stress might scare you into actually doing something about it - that is, if you have time to.

1. Barnie's voice along with the background gently relaxes me & I have listened to it so much that I am ordering a new one. The background is the perfect blance of ocean waves, soft piano, & flowing wind insturments. Barnie's voice is smooth, gentle, yet keeps my attention. I use it in the car, home, & at bedtime. I know different people have different likes, but time & again friends & family have agreed "this is an excellent recording".



2. I bought my first copy of this tape when I was living in the suburbs of Chicago working in downtown, communting and working in a high-stress job. Turns out I also have horrible chronic insomnia. Barrie's Voice can usually do what three full doses of ANY sleeping drug on the market can't do ----- from Chloral Hydrate then to Lunesta now. It could put me to sleep!! I helped with the daytime stress and anxiety that ran rampant in my life when I really had little time for therapy or even eating a proper dinner! :) I am SO glad that I found this tape. This tape has moved with me from leaving my fiance and prosecuting him as a felony stalker, helped me find a new job, move cross country, move again to another state, find a good mate, find out I have a permanent and disabling illness and help get me through labor and delivery of a 8 lb preemie child, who is now, 7+ years later the light of my life, but brings his own set of stresses. My tape is quite worn out and after having bought what I thought was an identical tape for a friend, I listened to theirs, and it had different music on the daytime side. I liked the original, problably just because it was familiar, but I held on to my ancient tape for dear life. Now, 15 years later, I am looking for a way to get it on CD or mp3 or something that will be more durable and transportable than a cassette player!!! My tape has been carefully preserved but on it's second case, and I fear that it will break in the new future rendering the tape destroyed. Additionally, it's getting harder to find a casette player which was once ubiquitous, a la iPod nowdays. I guess we need to get Barrie into the 21st century!!
   
   One side note, this is not the only Barrie Konicov tape I bought -- I also tried the weight reduction one and that one was not as helpful. The daughter of a dietician and now diabetic, I realized that the idea of not eating at all once a week was not an option for me. However, the music and many of the general suggestions in that tape for raising one's self esteem are quite good -= enough for me to replace the tape if I can't find my other one.

1 comments about Slow Down...and Get More Done.

1. "Slow Down...and get More Done" is a book filed with warmth and humor that spoke to me in terms I could relate to without getting stressed out about all the things I need to do ... in order to not be stressed out. Grab yourself a cup of coffee (or your favorite drink) and cozy up on the sofa for a delightful read that will help you find your peaceful center. "Slow Down" will gently open you to discover the things that bring you satisfaction and joy--and how to make room for them in your life without turning you into some type of time clock junkie. "Slow Down" is a must for all those who feel lost in the race of their days and who wish to find the precious in life.

5 comments about The Woman's Comfort Book: A Self-Nurturing Guide for Restoring Balance in Your Life.

1. This book was referred to me about 6 years ago by my psychologist I was seeing at the time. It is the most wonderful book I have ever owned. Guidance on how to comfort your self, mind, and soul from what you will need to get started, whether it is a candle, bubble bath, etc. To how to do the comforting! I have given a copy to all of my girlfriends! (I highly recommend all of Ms. Louden's books) Enjoy!



2. This book helped me through a very difficult time in my life. It offers simple ways to learn to treat yourself well. Often women don't give themselves the time they deserve---this book definitely helps. Every woman should own a copy of this book.



3. I must have given this book half a dozen times as a gift to friends or family members who were in need of a little nurturing, or who needed an excuse to spend a little more time on themselves. This book has dozens of ideas for activities to help you through a day, and even a little categorized index to look for a project based on how you're feeling at the moment.
   A real treasure! Give it to a loved one by itself, or in combination with a nice journal or blank book and a couple of fun pens (I recommend purple), and she will know you care about her. Better yet, buy one for yourself.



4. I keep buying this book over and over - I have given it to friends in crises and at turning points. I can't say enough good things about The woman's comfort book. It is a resource that you will never tire of!!



5. I am another who bought *another* copy of this book...someone borrowed mine and I never got it back. Sometimes we need reminded of the little things. This is full of ways to do that and some may sound silly but it works. Have it on gift lists for a few people I know.

1 comments about Perfect Balance: Create Time and Space for All Parts of Your Life.

1. This book has been incredibly helpful to me. It walks you through exercises to determine your values, needs, responsibilities, priorities, and goals. Also includes a section on life purpose. It also has valuable tips for getting perspectives, calming, and prioritizing, and doesn't get long-winded or preachy. After completing the exercises and looking at the chart I'd made, I was able to see in a quick glance where I was on top of the things that are important, where I needed to make more of an effort, and where less. If you feel like your life is out of control, this book will help you get it back under your control.

4 comments about Brainwave Symphony.

1. My wife was privileged to work under Pat Moffit Cook and we were thrilled to see Brainwave Symphony on the shelves when it was released. We have heard many CD sets, and none of them have met our expectations until now! If you have sleep problems, I can't recommend this set highly enough! The "Delta" CD worked wonders for our sleep patterns, and I often run the "Beta" CD all day long as I work. It really helps with focus and clarity. I am really looking forward to seeing what is next for Pat Moffit Cook!



2. I purchased this set to use for relaxation and meditation. The recordings are high quality and the 4 disc set is a bargain. The sleep disc put me to sleep and I woke refreshed. I also play it for my 2 year old when he is restless and it softly relaxes and put him to sleep for his nap. I have tried the different discs for the recommended relaxation and meditation. This set and the 4 disc nature sound set are excellent for taking that personal time to relax, meditate and revive yourself.



3. I was a little dissapointed. I'm a musician and it was mostly just music. I really like Merlins Magic for putting you in a good zone. This was just okay for me. Nothing in comparison to Merlins Magic and Deuter. Can't say as it got to anyside of my brain. LOL I reallly wanted to hear something different and this didn't do it for me.



4. I love many of Thompson's CD's, but this collection is NOT one/any of them. Only buy this if you really like classical music. This would probably be excellent for background music in a store or at home, but as a 'meditative' set....nope. Not for me. Thompson has so many other great meditative and calming cd's, try those first. 'Sleepy Ocean' and 'Sleepy Rain' are great. So is 'Creative Mind.' And all four CD's in 'Brainwave Suite' I can recommend. But not this one, unless you really, really like classical music for meditation.
