User Reviews about Heartstrings: Visualizations for Pregnancy
I purchased another CD by Sound Beginning called Sound Beginning: Guided Meditations for Inspired Living. I loved it so much that I searched to see if they had other products, and this CD came up. I purchased this for my friend who is pregnant. She called to tell me it is one of the best gifts she's received. She uses it every day and says she doesn't know how she'd be getting through her stressful pregnancy without it (she's high-risk with gestational diabetes and carrying twins). So thumb's up from both of us! -- My friend loves this
I was looking for something to help me relax during my pregnancy, and to have positive affirmations to help with planning for an unmedicated natural homebirth. The music was just OK (some tracks i had to skip) & the affirmations were fine (no music on tracks with affirmations). I did like that these were short, so I could listen for 5 min and didn't need like a 20 minute block of time. But, I think if I had to buy again I would go with Belleruth Naparstek, since I think her affirmations/meditations (I used while trying to get pregnant) are more in depth, and more useful, and in fact I used hers when I was in labor. That being said, I did have a great labor and delivery at home, so maybe these were useful afer all! -- pretty good
The great thing about this cd is that it has powerful visualizations and affirmations but it doesn't take a lot of time out of your day to get the benefits. I'm a very busy mother who also works full-time and I don't have a lot of time to devote to this stuff, but I've been doing one meditation and 2 or 3 affirmations first thing when I wake up in the morning and also right before I go to sleep, and it has made a world of difference in my stress level. My thinking is clearer and my decisions are more rational in both my professional and personal life. I'm big on getting the biggest bang for your buck, like using the least amount of time to reap the biggest mental benefits, and this cd is the only one I could find that really hits the mark. -- perfect for busy pregnant women
I've given this CD to several of my pregnant friends (for their baby showers) and every one of them has absolutely loved it. They all in turn have given it as gifts to their pregnant friends because it was so useful to them. One of them even gave it to her OB-GYN, who is now recommending it to her clients (especially the high-risk ones). I wish they made one for non-pregnant people because I would buy it for myself. -- Great baby shower gift!
