About this audiobook

This guided meditation for radiation therapy is designed to ease treatment side effects and symptoms, such as fatigue, burns, soreness and other discomforts, while at the same time reducing anxiety and encouraging a positive attitude toward healing. Guided imagery is a holistic, mind-body therapy that consists of healing words and images, set to soothing music, to achieve specific healing and wellness goals. Repeated listening once or twice a day for 2-3 weeks ensures maximum impact on radiation therapy side effects and symptoms. The track list is as follows:1. Introduction (2:19)2. Guided Imagery (13:47)3. Music (16:14)This evidence-based Health Journeys guided imagery for radiation therapy was written and narrated by guided imagery and holistic health expert Belleruth Naparstek, scored to the calming music of Steven Mark Kohn, and produced by the Cleveland Orchestra's sound engineer, Bruce Gigax. The program's encouraging, hypnotic messages and comforting images, combined with soothing music, promote relaxation and amplify coping ability while targeting the reduction of radiation therapy side effects. A second track features Steve Kohn's immersive, inspiring music on its own, to allow for restorative rest after listening to the guided meditation track. (32 min.)
