Belleruth Naparstek s guided imagery surgery preparation audio program of soothing words, scored with calming music by Steven Mark Kohn, guides how to get ready for surgery by imagining a successful, safe and comfortable operation and recovery, complete with guided imagery suggestions and images of all the desired outcomes, including reduced bleeding, lower use of pain medication and fast mending with minimal discomfort. Ideal for hip surgery recovery and shoulder surgery recovery, this highly acclaimed mind-body meditation is particularly helpful for the more difficult and extended process of recovery from knee surgery. A separate music track can be played in the O.R., and the affirmations track focuses on healing during the recovery period. Put the meditation CD for surgery in your overnight bag or the MP3 on your phone, and you will be more set for successful surgery and recovery than you could ever imagine. (Running Time: 81 min.) Review Two weeks ago today, I had multiple abdominal hernias repaired. My doctors projected I would be in surgery for 4 hours and in the hospital 3 to 4 days. I got this CD and listened to it every night before I went to bed for a few weeks. It helped reduce my anxiety prior to surgery, my surgery took less than 3 hours and I was discharged after 2 days. I was off narcotics within 36 hours. One of my surgeons said this surgery was "a lot easier" than he expected. Guided imagry and affirmations are so powerful! I am grateful I used this tool and would highly recommend it! Thank you Health Journeys and Belleruth! To you I am grateful :) December 2011 --Stephanie (reprint from Health Journeys website)I had my double jaw surgery 4 weeks ago, and feel like I never had it done. After one week I was back at the gym, and by 2 weeks the swelling was all gone. The surgeon said I "behaved very well during the procedure' i.e low blood loss and blood pressure, and even the nurses said afterwards how well I was doing. From comparisons to other jaw surgery patients, I feel like I superwoman, and this meditation I believe is one of the differences. I listened to both parts before the surgery 4-5 times (including the morning of), and listened to the affirmations in the first couple of nights after the procedure, as I found sleep difficult, and it was quite comforting. I HIGHLY recommend this. At every step of the recovery, I have been told by everyone involved in my care how exceptionally well I am doing. It shows that the power of the mind is very influential, and this steers your mind in such a positive direction. March 2011 --Christina (reprint from Health Journeys website)Wow...thats all I can say. I was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer 1B2 a few months ago. I underwent a radical hysterectomy combined with femoral hernia repair 10 days ago. I downloaded this surgery meditation/guided imagery a week before surgery. I listened to it both awake and asleep and right up to before i was taken into the operating room. I was told by both the hernia and the oncology surgeon that the surgery went beautifully and was so easy, that my hernia had popped back in which made it so much easier for him to repair. All the doctors/nurses told me that my incision(about 8 inches) was one of the most beautiful and well healed wounds they had ever seen. I was released from hospital after 4/5 days and told by oncology surgeon it was one of the fastest recoveries he had ever seen. I'm not one to write reviews on anything, but I just had to about this....as it was uncanny how successful the operation and the recovery was and great thanks to you BelleRuth. Remember also, diet/nutrition play a huge role too...I refused all medications after two days and ate great organic food and juices both before and after surgery. The mind and the body can do amazing things if you provide them with the right tools...and this surgery meditation is one of those right tools. Thank you so much again :) Rosie (Sydney, Australia) September 2008 --Rosie (reprint from Health Journeys website) ## Images ![Guided Meditations to Promote Successful Surgery- Guided Imagery Shown to Lower Opioid Use, Pre-Op Anxiety, Length of Stay, Blood Loss - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811pI0tMGkL.jpg) ![Guided Meditations to Promote Successful Surgery- Guided Imagery Shown to Lower Opioid Use, Pre-Op Anxiety, Length of Stay, Blood Loss - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FoERUUcyL.jpg) ![Guided Meditations to Promote Successful Surgery- Guided Imagery Shown to Lower Opioid Use, Pre-Op Anxiety, Length of Stay, Blood Loss - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31kAGIIpHeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective tool *by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2015* My friend, a hospital social worker, mentioned this listening program as one her hospital recommends for presurgical patients. She said they feel research has proven it effective.Before recent reconstructive foot surgery, I listened to both the guided imagery and affirmation portions twice per day for 4 days (bought the cd), preferring the guided imagery. I'm not at all an anxious person, but a recent death in the family left me with a sense of dread about the surgery and recovery. The death didn't involve surgery, but still it weighed on my mind.This program absolutely overcame any anxiety or dread I felt. I was calm and confident and at no point during preop, surgery, or postop was I disturbed in any way. I was awake during the procedure but don't remember it, yet was told I spoke.One caveat: the guided imagery portion brought up deep emotions regarding my mother, who recently passed away. The emotions were pleasant and comforting, but just be aware of the possibility.I would advise anyone heading into surgery, particularly a surgery more serious and anxiety provoking than mine, to try this program. I head back to the operating room next year for my other foot and will definitely use this again.I also bought the program for pain management and find it extremely helpful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made a difference for me *by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2010* I got this CD a week before major surgery, and listened to it once a day (about 6 or 7 times in total). I fell asleep during the affirmations most of the time. When it came time for my surgery, I was surprisingly calm-- considering it's my first major surgery, I kept waiting for the nervousness to hit, but it really never did. I did fine, and healing has been much easier and faster than anyone predicted. I don't know how much of it is attributable to the CD, but I do feel that it put me into a good mindframe for the surgery. Definitely worth the purchase. My surgeon didn't let me bring my iPod to the actual O.R., but it was okay anyway.I also like the Brain Sync guided meditations, which is what I used once I was actually in the hospital (I didn't feel like thinking about the operating room again once I was actually in the hospital, so I stuck to a more general guided relaxation CD there.)Make sure you listen with headphones or earbuds. It makes it much easier to enter a meditative state that way, versus just listening on a CD player with speakers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works! *by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2011* A friend who is an RN loaned me a copy several weeks before a scheduled cervical fusion. After listening once, I looked up the info and ordered the CD. I listened several times a day, and even made a hard copy of the affirmations so I could read them out loud to myself, changing the wording to suit my particular circumstances and fears. When the surgery was moved up due to worsening symptoms, I was ready. I took the CD, my written versions, and other positive affirmations with me to the hospital. I played the music often in the days following the surgery. It was wonderful knowing I was surrounded by family and friends who wanted me to do well both before and during surgery. I did not need any pain meds but tylenol and not even that after the third or fourth day. Recovery was exactly as the affirmations state. A year later found me facing an additional surgery due to a broken screw in one of the plates( yes, I officially have a screw loose!) and the second surgery went even better. Another year later and I would not think to approach any surgery without using the surgery CD by Belleruth Naperstek; it really helps! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9709897-guided-meditations-to-promote-successful-surgery-guided-imagery-shown-to](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9709897-guided-meditations-to-promote-successful-surgery-guided-imagery-shown-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
