Breast Cancer Newsletter from BellaOnline.com

Breast Cancer is one of the most stressful ordeals you will encounter in life. Have you considered guided imagery and meditation? When I was first diagnosed, a nurse gave me a guided imagery CD by Dr. Martin Rossman. It turned out to be one of the main lifelines of my journey, and even now, several years later, I go back to it often. It's like refilling the tank when I'm running on empty.

Enjoy ~

Guided Imagery for Breast Cancer
Touted by some as a panacea to all that ails you and condemned by others as a complete hoax, guided imagery is a complimentary therapy that many of us wonder about. How do you do it? Does it really work? Is it dangerous, and are there any side effects?
