“I recommend Glenda Cedarleaf’s guided imagery CD’s to help you heal yourself and to prepare for your surgery. They can help you heal more quickly, more comfortably, and more completely from whatever ails you. Use them to get in touch with the healer already inside of you.” Mark L. Hoch, MDPast President, American Holistic Medical Association |
"Imagine comparing the art of guided imagery to the art of storytelling. Children always love a good bedtime story. As adults we forget how powerful the imagination is…we forget to slow down and feel inwardly...
We forget and Glenda helps us remember.
Glenda’s CDs invite us to actively participant in our own healing process. I especially love her Surgery CD…a tool that can facilitate a quicker and more complete healing and most importantly support oneself with a feeling of not being alone. The child loves to fall asleep being read a bedtime story…"

"Guided Imagery is a nuanced experience. As in a tapestry it is the richness of the experience. It is in the quality of the thread, the beauty of the pattern and the intention and heart of the weaver; a metaphor for the quality and the beauty found in Glenda Cedarleaf's "Your Healing Journey".
Ms. Cedarleaf has been trained extensively in the art of delivery of guided experiences and skillfully keeps the listener attuned. The music's ambient subtlety emotes an almost cellular serenity.
This is one journey that will enrich you each time you step inside

Guided Imagery helped me recover from surgery--
Earlier in my life I had a surgery that was very traumatic. I took pain medication for a full month. Recently I learned that I would need to undergo the same surgery again. This time I used a Guided Imagery CD made by Glenda Cedarleaf and it was customized just for me and this situation. We even included my husband's voice reassuring me that I was going to be okay. I loaded it onto my IPOD and put it on repeat. I listened to it over and over again before and after my surgery for several days.
My doctor was so surprised that I only used my pain medication for the first two days and by the third day I was resting and eating normally. I am fully recovered now but I still use my CD when I feel sad or anxious. Glenda's voice is so calming and it helps me relax during stressful times.
I highly recommend the use of a guided imagery CD by Glenda for anyone facing surgery or any stressful life
situation.

I love your "Guided Imagery for Letting Go" CD !
I listen to it every night before I go to bed--with your soothing voice and the message of letting go I have been sleeping like a baby.

"Glenda Cedarleaf’s latest guided Imagery CD, Healing Surgery is beautifully simple and astutely comprehensive at the same time."

"(Glenda) thoroughly addresses every level in preparing for, adjusting to, and recovering from surgery.
Beginning with creating a safe place, she then moves to a progressive relaxation so that the listener is able to develop a baseline for tuning into their somatic experience and having a way to relax in a
relatively brief manner.
Guided by her soft and even-toned voice
which is accompanied by some soothingly
light music, the listener is given much space
to create their own Imagery in between her
well thought out suggestions. She guides her
listeners into creating a way to make the surgical process
itself a safe and desirable journey. When they come out of their surgical procedure, they wil
l be able to condition themselves into healing their bodies and feelings, as well as being sure
to get enough nourishing rest.
An added bonus is the last track of the CD which provides a lovely welcome into the sleeping and dreaming state.
Glenda’s quality of presence in the CD feels pure and authentic. One feels held by compassion in the quality of her voice
and there is the sense of gentle authority that she knows what she is doing.
I highly recommend these CD's. I am going to bring it to my brother to him through
his surgical process.
She has another new CD, Your Healing Journey, that shares some of the same tracks
for creating a safe place, progressive relaxation, a healing journey and guidance into sleep.
However, this CD has a wonderful and
effective track entitled Belly Breathing that
takes the listener through almost 16 minutes of conditioning
for proper breathing to benefit health and wellness.
I thoroughly enjoyed this added piece as I
Imagined how helpful it could be for both
seasoned practitioners of guided Imagery
and meditation as well as to newcomers.
The music on both of her CDs is well chosen.
It has a quality of soothing clarity and does
not impose itself in any way. The music is
offered by the composers Matti Paalanen and Christopher Lloyd Clark.
The photographic images on the cover are gorgeous.
In addition to how powerfully her work stands on it's own, all of these extra pieces
add to the desirability of presenting her CD's as gifts to loved ones".
"I play the personalized CD you made me every morning and every night.
I love it! It is so relaxing and I know subliminally I am getting just the affirmations I want my subconscious mind to take in.
What a great idea! I am playing it for clients too so they can get an idea what their own personalized CD would be like.
I am considering ordering a generic version for clients to try out in my office and then explaining to them that they can get a personalized version for themselves. Thank you so much. Your voice is very soothing and the more I listen the more comforted
I feel when I hear your voice saying,
"Now Sarah"..., I feel like I have come home and now I can let go of all tension and worries and just relax."
I cannot thank you enough or praise you highly enough for making the personalized CD for me.

"I received the CD on Friday and listened to it right away.
I couldn't relax the first time, I was too excited about how
perfect it is for my needs.
I find your voice to be incredibly powerful,
the information to be right-on,
and your method of delivery intuitive.
Overall, it has been a very positive experience and is
more powerful each time I listen to it.
Thank you for all of your work in this disc. As always,
God finds the right people at the right time.
I appreciate you being receptive when I needed it most." - Darlene

I used a customized guided imagery tape and found it to b a powerful tool in
helping me rediscover my self and focus on my unique personality and
problems.
When dealing with issues that were overwhelming, the comfort and security I got
from "my" tape made all the difference.

Our CD is a wonderful and powerful tool. I have personally been going through physical and financial challenges that I have never faced before.
Your disc continues to be one of
the strongest means of support I currently use.
It never fails to help me feel empowered." DC
I have been listening again to the original CD you made for me. It really is a magic relaxing elixer. ~AC
Thank you very much for your compassionate guidance
on my journey back to happiness and empowerment.
Our first session and the tape you made really helped give
me an anchor of contentment.
Now I am at that place
about 95 % of the time and "working" for that other 5%.

"Before, during and after a recent surgery,
I listened daily to the CDs and experienced
those innate abilities to effectively explore
the love, energy and peace within.
Glenda’s Guided Imagery CDs have enabled me to
tap into a journey connecting my body, mind and heart.
Glenda’s melodious and soothing words, accompanied by beautifully selected music, provide the perfect combination for exploring a place of strength and hope.
Sometimes in life it’s difficult to find that place which will help you relax and heal".
Thank you Glenda!
