Success Through Play™ comments:

Pregnancy is a special time in a woman's life-filled with joy, happiness and excitement. Along with joy will inevitably come some anxiety about pregnancy and birth and this is where Heartstrings: Visualizations for Pregnancy can help. This special CD features soothing background music to relax your body and mind. Visualizations and affirmations guide you into a calm state where you can feel free of anxiety and worry. The mom-to-be can strengthen her bond with her baby and create positive thoughts by listening to the CD on a regular basis.

We sent this CD out to several pregnant women around the world for feedback.

"I am 32 weeks along and am starting to get anxious thinking about the birth. I was eager to try the Heartstrings CD and am so thankful that I did. I set aside a few minutes in the morning, when I wake up and a few minutes in the evening, before I fall asleep to listen to the CD. This CD helps me to have a positive attitude throughout the day and fall asleep quickly at night. I really like the soothing background music and powerful affirmations which I repeat to myself throughout the day. I am feeling empowered and am now excited about the birth. Thank you!"

"I am 12 weeks along and have many concerns about this pregnancy, especially since it's my first. I have never tried visualizations before and was interested to begin. The instructor has a wonderful tone of voice; I am able to follow the visualizations with ease and I am amazed and how relaxed my entire body feels after completing them. I am starting to really bond with my baby as a result of hearing the beautiful affirmations in the CD. I will recommend this CD to all of my friends."

"I listened to the Heartstrings CD during the last few weeks of my pregnancy and throughout my labor. I was able to labor and give birth without any medication and I believe that the Heartstrings CD played a part in this. I also credit my birth ball and my waterbirth! I listened to the CD diligently throughout labor and I was able to relax my body, just like I did during the last few weeks of pregnancy. I would recommend this CD to all pregnant women."

Success Through Play™ would like to thank Sound Beginning, LLC for sending us several CD's for this review.

This CD sounds wonderful. Studies have linked the emotional state of a pregnant woman with her infants well being. I am always looking for ways to reduce the stress in my life. My job is hectic and this CD sounds like a perfect way to de-stress both before and after work. Thank you!
