Loved it.Very effective.
Very calming. This meditation helped me through a difficult time. I would even say my experience was profound

Amazingly valuable
All of Belleruth's work is good, but this one [and the PTSD one] are over the top excellent. Every word is perfect. A real healing tool. You need this CD!

Hard to relax to her robotic voice....
I found myself distracted by the robotic tone of her voice... I think the Cd would have been more beneficial with a more soothing, relaxed voice.Also, I liked the affirmations more than the visualization section.I'll probably try to listen to it again..I believe in the mechanics of it...

Healing and Wonderful!!
This CD has helped me reclaim total healing in my mind and heart due to past upsets and trauma. The author's voice is ever so kind and understanding that I tear each time when I hear the empathy in her voice. I am buying this for other members of my family so their hearts can heal as well. Much love to all who are in this world and those who have been here in the past.

Beware of Health Journeys
I needed the recording and it was out of stock at Amazon so I clicked on the ad at the bottom of the page on Amazon for Health Journeys, the company that produces the recording. They sell direct downloads of MP3s of the recordings. Needing the recording, I downloaded it. Now due to some strange hardware problems, both the external hard drive and the iPod files are lost. Despite having a record of my purchase, Health Journeys will not let me download them again, and instead suggest I purchase them again. They have a 30 day support policy and THAT'S IT! Word to the wise, unless you want to throw away your money, avoid using Health Journeys recordings. They are not a company you want to do business with! ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Inflammatory Bowel Disease," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Inflammatory Bowel Disease in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Inflammatory Bowel Disease, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
