Publisher's Summary:
Feeling fried, limp? So exhausted, like running two marathons? Concerned about the future?
How to move past worry and exhaustion? How to move into a great future?
When Janis Silverman could find no meditations specific to her experience of breast cancer, she wrote her way to positive mental health, lower stress and less pain. Janis wrote more than one hundred guided imagery meditations, prayers and poems during her treatments. "These imagery meditations helped me see my healing and my future," said Silverman.
"I pictured love, light, restoring my health, healing, wellness, mending, mind and body, recovery, thriving, reenergizing, blossoming, and flourishing. Then I focused my thoughts on my tomorrow and planning my future. I celebrated the end of therapy and the new beginnings." Janis is sharing her imagery stories. Meditations in Recover helps a patient restore mind and body, to plan her future, to allow herself time to rest and heal physically and emotionally.
Visualizations of strength and courage accompany revitalization and needed self-care. Other meditations offer hope for renewed spirit to create the future. Imagery meditations guide a breast cancer patient to sort out feelings, question fears and negative thoughts, calm anxiety. Each guided imagery meditation lets the patient know that she is not alone. Janis Silverman, retired teacher, is the author of several education and counseling books, including, Imagine That! a book of guided imagery meditations for children. She lives near Charlotte, NC with her family.

Worked for me -- will work for you
Janis Silverman is a breast cancer survivor, and has experienced many other health problems. These could have dragged her down, and perhaps they do from time to time, but she has chosen to use them as springboards to wisdom and inner strength. She shares some of the tools she has developed for herself in this little collection of guided imagery scripts.
Before the scripts, she discusses a brief summary of a great deal of research evidence supporting the benefits of meditation, including guided imagery. Naturally, her literature review focuses on breast cancer, but she has included studies addressing other serious health problems as well. This introductory chapter is very convincing, and should motivate the reader to have confidence in Janisâs recommendations.
In her meditative scripts, Janisâs use of words is beautiful. Even her prose is poetry.
Her approach to presenting guided imagery is different from mine. My approach has been a literal transcript of what I might say when I lead others in meditation, with the full knowledge that each person will use my words differently. Instead, Janis gives a general guide in a few words, encouraging her reader to fill in the gaps. I think the two approaches are equally valid, although perhaps some of Janisâs questions are too general for some people who attempt to implement them without guidance.
I am fortunate in that, so far, I have not suffered cancer, but all the same, when I tried out some of her ideas, they worked beautifully for me. They will work for you.
full of hope and inspiration.
As a breast cancer survivor, I can't recommend this book strongly enough.
