Yes, I really believe the mind is a powerful thing too. Even if you don't believe in the power of visual imagery I think people should still buy this CD because it is just INCREDIBLY soothing. It will make you feel good afterward and god knows we can use more of that. I've heard that story of the boy shrinking the brain tumor. Greta, I love the imagery of bricklayers adding more morta to your neuronsr! That's awesome.

There's a whole world of research on this very issue. If you are interested in the mind-body connection with regard to illness you should also check out a book by John Kabit Zinn called Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness He talks about this emerging scientific field and then gives you tools to handle stress and illness. He's a professor of medicine and founding director of the Stress Reduction Clinic and Center for Mindfulness in MEdicine, Health Care and Society at Univ. Mass. Medical School.

It's all worth a shot!!
