Suzette Standring: A Writer’s Meditation CD

Creativity is unlocked by relaxation.  A meditative state of mind can access long forgotten details from memories that can be used later in storytelling.  Write with a five sensory zest.  I was certified in hypnotherapy in 2000, and I have applied relaxation techniques to my own work. Now I’ve created A Writer’s Meditation CD for others.  Two guided imageries are offered.  One meditation is for total relaxation as a tool for stress management.  The second is a guided imagery for relaxation and memory recall, complete with writing prompts.  Find out more and read endorsements on my page, A Writer's Meditation.
