Alternative Medicine

I really liked this book. I found it helpful for my therapy practice with both adolescents and adults. The scripts for imagery were helpful and I use them in sessions. Information and background are shared in straight forward, easy to read terms. I have shared Naparstek's theories with clients as part of their treatment, and we have seen success. With a concrete, more pragmatic client however, these techniques are more difficult to use.

If I had to just rely on one book to assist me with relaxing my patients as they come through Radiology, this would be it. I've used the meditations in it and the explanations about how imagery works to help create a healing mind state in my patients, and transform anxiety and fear. It works!!

I'm relatively new to mind-body health techniques, but this book taught me exactly what I was looking to learn. I've been struggling with several chronic health issues, and I started using Naparstek's Fibromyalgia tape first, found it very helpful, and then wanted to learn more about what it was doing and how it worked. This book was a great complement. I'm a nurse myself, so I know a lot about the traditional side of medicine. This book made a lot of sense to me and provided extra encouragement to continue with my meditation and guided imagery tools.
