VERY GOOD!!!!!Wednesday, May 11, 2005
After looking for a while, I finally found something that helps... the meditation is great, the voice is calm and nice, and it really helps you achieve that point that you wanted to reach... Though I cannot say I have really "listened: to the whole CD (I tend to fall asleep after not much!), but especially for that I like it.
Very good!

a powerful relaxation toolThursday, October 28, 2004
I have been very stressed lately which resulted in me not being able to sleep. I searched and found this CD, and honestly I doubted that it could help. For the past week now, I have been listening to this CD everynight right when I am about to go to bed. And instead of staying up all night looking aimlessly in my room, I fall into deep sleep and wake up relaxed and refreshed.
So far, I haven't listened to the whole CD, after 5 min. I fall into deep sleep. But the CD recommends that you keep it on even if you sleep. Your mind listens even if you are not awake.

Outstanding "present" that never failsSunday, August 31, 2003
I have listened to this on tape many times and in the process of ordering the CD decided to write a review because i see this is unreviewed. I have listened to a variety of stress-relief and this is simply the best I have ever encountered. First, Susie's voice is simply wonderful. Not cutesy or overdone, but like your best woman friend pointing out to you what you already know. Second, many tapes are ok for a listen but feel wearing or repetitive on repeated listens. Not here. Most important, i have listened to this frequently in times of high stress and it has never failed to help me relax and feel more peaceful.
Also, there are at least two levels of "present." While you can find inhere a beautiful reference to "present" as a gift, you can also view the present as the "now" that we always have with us.
Absolutely excellent!

New Mom, Sleeping Like a Baby!Thursday, April 24, 2003
I just ordered more for my friends! I've been raving about the power of this
relaxation meditation. I always feel so energized and rested after
listening--the whole process is so refreshing. I used this CD through my
pregnancy to help me relax, calm my fears, and send positive energy and
health to my baby. I was so happy during my pregnancy. Especially amazing
benefits came the first week we came home--a stressful time and without much
sleep. I would be so overtired that when I was able to lie down--I couldn't
sleep. One night I played this CD 3 times (between feedings) and sometimes
I don't think I got past the first minute without falling asleep. One of
the first days we were home, after a full day of visitors, my husband
ordered me to put my headset on and listen to it! My son will be 3 weeks
tomorrow . Now I am just elated to have this precious baby and I know if I
do start to feel depressed or depleted, Susie' Mantell's "Your Present: A
Half-Hour of Peace" will help us through!

A real gemMonday, March 03, 2003
Wow! I rarely write reviews, but I have to comment on this one. If you are looking for something in this genre, look no further. It's not just her perfect voice for this type of recording, but also the way it was recorded, she is very, very clear and yet very quiet and not obtrusive. Everything about this is just about perfect. I bought this and another tape, and fortunately heard this first. The other is a great disappointment, with the woman's rough voice and too-fast talking. Don't take a chance, buy this tape.
