Guided Meditations to Promote Successful Surgery- Guided Imagery Shown to Lower Opioid Use, Pre-Op Anxiety, Length of Stay, Blood Loss

This award winning, highly researched meditation for surgery preparation and recovery was found in double blind, placebo-controlled research to dramatically lower pre-op anxiety and pain, speed up healing, cut length of hospital stay, lower use of medication and reduce blood loss. Belleruth Naparstek s guided imagery surgery preparation audio program of soothing words, scored with calming music by Steven Mark Kohn, guides how to get ready for surgery by imagining a successful, safe and comfortable operation and recovery, complete with guided imagery suggestions and images of all the desired outcomes, including reduced bleeding, lower use of pain medication and fast mending with minimal discomfort. Ideal for hip surgery recovery and shoulder surgery recovery, this highly acclaimed mind-body meditation is particularly helpful for the more difficult and extended process of recovery from knee surgery. A separate music track can be played in the O.R., and the affirmations track focuses on healing during the recovery period. Put the meditation CD for surgery in your overnight bag or the MP3 on your phone, and you will be more set for successful surgery and recovery than you could ever imagine. (Running Time: 81 min.)
