I downloaded this CD just yesterday, and used it for the first time when I went to bed for the night. I apparently fell asleep halfway in, which is amazing in itself, because I've struggled with chronic insomnia for over fifteen years. I have never been able to relax so fully and quickly with any of the previous CDs and tapes I've purchased over the years. But, more importantly, I realized that Ms. Shapiro's claim that it would be effective even during sleep was absolutely true. I wasn't even thinking about it, just doing something routine this morning, when a novel thought (for me) went through my head: "Not everyone is going to like me if I live out my life genuinely and express my truth, but that's okay." It took me a minute to realize that I've never before had the benefit of such a courageous outlook, and I've paid for it dearly in terms of my health, lack of productivity, and potential. I LOVE this CD, and the new voice in my head!
