About this audiobook
Offering affirmations and guided imagery for diabetes, this recording has been endorsed and distributed by AADE, the American Association of Diabetes Educators. Embedded in this soothing, hypnotic meditation for diabetes are suggestions designed to help lower blood sugar naturally. The narrative invokes images in a relaxed, focused state of mind, of the body's receptivity to insulin, whether from an under-utilized, natural supply or from medications, or some combination of both. Guided imagery is a holistic, mind-body technique that consists of healing words and hypnotic images, set to soothing, immersive music, to provide ways to lower blood sugar and hemoglobin a1c naturally. Repeated listening once or twice a day for 2-3 weeks ensures maximum impact. Recent research has shown that meditation and diabetes create a positive partnership, reducing cortisol, blood glucose and hemoglobin a1c. Our Health Journeys guided meditation for diabetes was made in consultation with diabetes educators, endocrinologists, and other medical specialists. It was written and narrated by noted guided imagery and holistic health pioneer Belleruth Naparstek, scored to the exquisitely soothing music of Steven Mark Kohn, and produced by the Cleveland Orchestra's noted sound engineer, Bruce Gigax. The narrative provides images of a steady, balanced digestive process; continuous, on-going organ renewal and repair, and a steady flow of energy and strength, thanks to the healthy, even absorption of nutrients. Other imagery provides extra relaxation and stress relief training for an additional healthful boost to blood chemistry. There are also suggestions to inspire and motivate self-care and a positive attitude toward the sometimes rigorous and frustrating demands involved in managing diabetes. A separate track of affirmations provides shorter versions of the same powerful themes provided by the guided imagery for diabetes, for those who prefer to listen while engaged in other activities, or even while driving. Here's the track list:1. Introduction (4:52)2. Guided Imagery (22:1)3. Affirmations (21:32)Total running time: 48 minutesEndorsed and distributed nationwide by The American Association of Diabetes Educators, this guided meditation and many others by Health Journeys are dispensed to people with diabetes by endocrinologists, diabetes nurse educators, nutritionists, dieticians and other diabetes health providers, as adjunctive treatment, alongside other protocols and treatments.Listen to a sample and see for yourself why this extraordinary guided meditation for diabetes has been such a popular professional and word of mouth favorite for years. Better yet, check your blood sugar before and after listening to 1 or 15 minutes of this program, and you'll see that this is an essential addition to your diabetes care toolkit.
