This evidence-based Health Journeys™ guided imagery for radiation therapy was written and narrated by guided imagery and holistic health expert Belleruth Naparstek, scored to the calming music of Steven Mark Kohn, and produced by the Cleveland Orchestra's sound engineer, Bruce Gigax. The program's encouraging, hypnotic messages and comforting images, combined with soothing music, promote relaxation and amplify coping ability while targeting the reduction of radiation therapy side effects.
A second track features Steve Kohn's immersive, inspiring music on its own, to allow for restorative rest after listening to the guided meditation track. (32 min.)
