Abstract
This CD provides two guided visualization using progressive muscle
relaxation and imagery. Acknowledging the power of strong
emotions, the first visualization invites the listener to experience
riding in a hot air balloon using the force of their fiery emotions to
propel them to a place of vision and finally drift safely down to land.
In the second visualization the listener experiences the supportive
and warming strength of the earth and then the freedom and
buoyancy of the water to encourage a deepening sense of
relaxation

Abstract
What if you could use cancer to evolve more fully into love? David Maginley has been there --- four times. His cancer led to a near-death experience and a career helping thousands face this disease. Through profound storytelling, David brings you to the core of the cancer journey to discover the hero within. You will learn how to :
-- Turn the mind into an ally as you grapple with uncertainty.
-- Explore spirituality through your love rather than your belief.
-- Not only go through cancer, but grow through cancer. - Cover

Abstract
This CD guides the listener to practice breath work along with
autogenics, statements used repeatedly to induce a state of deep
relaxation. Listeners are encouraged to remember a time and place
in which they experienced strength and a strong centre (reframed
as 'inner healers'). The music of Pachelbel's Canon accompanies
the guided imagery of a tree. Autogenic phrases emphasize growing
in confidence and strength 'every day in every way'. The closing
image is that of energy rising through the body -- as sap through the
trunk of a tree. This helps to create a full circle of relaxation.
