Book Reviews of Your Present: A Half Hour of Peace

Book Review: Simple and Effective
Summary: 4 Stars

"Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace" contains guided imagery that is clear and uncomplicated, making it very easy to attain the goal of this CD, the first time one listens to it. Your muscular stress centers will relax, your mind will be calmer, your breathing slower and deeper, with an overall sense of having truly rested. Susie Mantell's method is a quiet journey, a way to counter the constant rush of 21st century life, and it's the simplicity of it that makes it work. It has several uses: I tend to take on stress and stiffness in the neck area, and this CD greatly helps me with this; also, you can use it if you have compulsive behavior patterns to "break the habit." Feel like going to the refrigerator for yet another snack? Put this CD on instead and you won't feel like it in 30 minutes. It also helps tremendously if you're having trouble going to sleep.

I especially enjoy the imagery of the way "things that are causing stress" are "released to the sea," and there is no particular "higher power" or spiritual system mentioned, which I appreciate; as a Christian, there is nothing to conflict with my faith on this CD, and it should be adaptable to any belief or way of thinking. The gentle and pleasing music by Daryl Kojak is in the background, except for the few extra minutes at the end, to either become alert, or take a few more moments of rest, and Ms. Mantell's voice is soothing and her reading well spoken. The packaging is excellent, and in a slip-case, making it a lovely gift presentation. Ms. Mantell says "Something wonderful is about to happen"...and it does, when you receive life with calmness and serenity.
