   Hi,

   I've just recieved my imagery & body truth CDs in the post along with fertile female. I read the book cover to cover yesterday and listened to the first few tracks of imagery CD1. I was keen to hear how other people have used them as there are a lot of tracks (over 80 including the body truth). I'm not sure if I should listen to them all then pick the ones that resonate with me or if I should work through them systematically. Also, the guidance is to do each one at least 7 times, does this mean 7 days or listen to it 7 times. I know I need to work through the practice, and I'm willing to do that, but I'd also like to think I was using my time effectively. Lastly, can I listen to more than one track at a time or is it best to focus on 1 track fully.

   Many thanks.

   Hi there, yay for discovering this work. I also read my book in a day or so, when I first got it. It felt so good. Julia suggests that you do one or two imagery exercises twice a day (when you first get up in the morning and before bed in the evening) and stick with the same ones for either a week or two weeks or three weeks, depending on how you feel and where they take you. Then you can switch to another one or two.

   I usually take some time on Sundays to connect with where I am at and choose the exercises for the next week. It might make sense to listen to everything once or twice so you can get to know the exercises, but they are arranged according to themes at least on the imagery 2 CD, so you could also just look at the themes that most resonate with you.

   I just took Julia's workshop last weekend and have been on phone circles too. I find that you can do so, so much more with this work when you do it with others. Julia often suggests specific exercises in the phone circles, which is a great way to get guidance too.

   Hello "Neets77," welcome to our community and Lilli, thank you very much for reaching out!

   To answer your questions, What might be useful is to re-read the Image by Image chapter of The Fertile Female on pages 55 to 61 and the Imagery chapter in the Practice Section on pages 163 and 164. The introduction to the first (blue cover) Fertile Heart Imagery CD also has specific guidance on how to use it.

   And yes, the more you familiarize yourself with the imaginal sequences of both CD’s, the more “remedies” you will be able to choose from. As for the number of exercises to work with, it’s best to do no more than 2 imaginal sequences at a time. As noted in the book and the first CD, you’re working with each imaginal remedy for a cycle of 7, 14, or 21 days. The difference sections on each CD are grouped according to themes.

   And all of the sequences are touching on themes that come up for pretty much all of us not only on our journey toward motherhood but our journey toward becoming stronger and more aware human beings.

   Women have used The Body Truth CD in lots of different ways, but if you read the Issues in Your Tissues chapter in The Fertile Female, the practice session on Body Truth (it’s called Body Talk in the book) and listen to the CD, you should have a pretty good diea on how to use it.

   I will be offering a free Q & A in the next couple of weeks, so be sure to sign up for the Newsletter and email me any additional questions, I’d be happy to explore this with your further during that call.

   This is an exciting, beautiful practice. A practice that can be incredibly rewarding and bring about change on every level. It does take some patience and a kind of “beginner’s mind,.” A desire to learn something new.

   Enjoy and welcome again to our community!

   Thanks for the replies. I will re-read the chapters you suggest Julia. I am interested in knowing more about the Q&A, I'm signed up for the newsletters.
   Life is a bit chaotic for me as I'm about to move house, move area and start a new job over the next few weeks. I am keen to commit to the practice so will try my best to follow it.
