1. "Across the board—from athletes training for major events, actors and actresses preparing for opening night, musicians, business people, administrators, educators, coaches, college students, chronic pain clients, to overstressed husbands and wives—I have found Dr. Miller’s tapes to be the foundation on which the success of all the other wellness options I utilize rest upon! Dr. Miller’s tapes help people from all backgrounds learn how to harness stress energy and turn it into the fuel for optimal performance better than any other materials available in the country.
   
   I am very appreciative for having come into contact with Dr. Miller’s tapes and resource material. My continued success with clients has been, to a large degree, based upon the concepts of stress fitness I have learned from Dr. Miller.
   
   It is for these reasons that I give Dr. Miller’s tapes and resource material my highest endorsement. His book, Feeling Good: How to Stay Healthy, has helped me put the concept of stress fitness into proper context in my own life, as well as my clients, better than any book I have ever read.

2. "You are a real musician… Not only in what you have produced and recorded on tape, but especially in the sensitive way you elicit "music" in a large group—your words and your movement."
   
   Joe Eger, Conductor, The Symphony for the United Nations, Visiting Conductor, People’s Republic of China.
   
   
3. "We believe that relaxation techniques should be taught to all, especially to those who suffer from chronic or recurring pain. We are glad, therefore, that Dr. Miller offers his special comprehensive approach for dealing with common pain problems such as migraine. His tape, Letting Go of Stress, has become an integral part of the University of Cincinnati Headache Center treatment program. Patients have reported a decrease in the occurrence of head, neck, and shoulder pain and often patients report aborting or decreasing the severity of their attacks. This helps reduce the use of analgesic drugs. Dr. Miller has made a valuable contribution towards pain control by utilizing his simple, straightforward methods involving his own special talents through beautifully-sounding tapes.

4. "I first met Emmett Miller through his tapes. Several friends had told me that his relaxation tapes were the best available. I ordered a couple and found they really did help me relax. The sound quality and music alone put them head and shoulders above any other relaxation tapes I’ve listened to. There is something about his voice that makes you want to curl up, put your thumb in your mouth, and rub a soft object against your cheek."
   
   Tom Ferguson, MD, Publisher, Medical Self-Care Magazine
   
   
5. "It is not often in this day and age that one gets the urge to write a complementary letter concerning a ‘product’. Actually, to call Dr. Miller’s tapes ‘products’ is indeed to mislabel them. They are learning tools of the highest order.
   
   I have been using Dr. Miller’s tapes for the past 4 or 5 years, both personally and with the elite athletes with (whom) I work, and I have found them to be excellent. Not only is the quality of the tapes, in my opinion, far superior to others on the market, but the script is ideal. It leaves the participant free to supply their own, unique style and mental creativity to the process…
   
   The cassette tapes have been an integral part of my sport psychology program with Canadian Olympic and International Athletes… The tapes I have found most useful in working with athletes, aside from those that are specifically written for that purpose, are Writing Your Own Script, which is particularly good in allowing the athlete to begin to see themselves acting in congruence with their expressed desires, and the Rainbow Butterfly, which is a marvelous ‘on the way to the competition site’ companion."
   
   Dr. Peter Jensen, Sport Psychologist, Canadian Center for High Performance, Ontario
   
   
6. "Emmett Miller is a remarkable individual and a true pioneer in assisting persons to raise their consciousness and to understand what makes them tick. It has been a pleasure to observe the increasing interest and participation in his workshops here in the State of Hawaii. I have been particularly impressed with his ability to work with individuals in crisis… His calm, soft-spoken approach can soothe the troubled waters and bring about peace. He has had a profound affect upon the thinking and healing concepts of…health practitioners and other persons within this state."
   
   Helen Burnside, Director, Office of Human Resources, City and County of Honolulu, HI, Former Dean, School of Nursing, University of Hawaii
   
   
7. "Dr. Emmett Miller has performed an invaluable service by bringing the theory and techniques of mental imagery to professionals and laymen through his numerous audio and video cassettes. Dr. Miller’s album of audio cassettes, Personal Excellence, demonstrates his extensive experience in the imagery field by highly informative lectures and very effective experientials. Dr. Miller’s unique blend of talents again transforms this interesting material into a deeply moving experience; the script is wonderful, the voice is soothing and unobtrusive, and the music is perfectly attuned to the situation.
   
   I have been active in the field of mental imagery for over twenty years, and I am not aware of better audio and video cassettes than those produced by Dr. Miller. In short, anyone interested in self-care, self-knowledge, and/or self-actualization, will find this album to be a high-yield investment."

8. "The surgery went extremely well and one week later I am doing a full day’s work and almost everything that I could do before (except lift heavy objects). I thought you might be interested in two subjective observations about the experience. First, I utilized your tapes to help me visualize a bloodless operative field…and both surgeons and the anesthetist commented spontaneously (I did not tell them…) that they had never seen such a clean field! Indeed, for four separate incisions…they commented that there couldn’t have been half a teaspoon of blood loss."
   
   Bud Baldwin, President, Earlham College

Jim Reardon, Ph.D., Sports Psychologist for U.S. Olympic Team

"My physician was critical when I insisted on taking my tape of successful surgery and playing it as I rode down the hall on the gurney and into the operating room. He changed his mind when he heard how impressed the anesthesiologist was with how relaxed, calm, and confident I was. ‘This is incredible,’ he said. The surgery went fine and I'm certain it was as close to being a positive experience as having a breast removed can possibly be."
Margaret McGovern

1. "I recently had major foot reconstructive surgery… I used your 2-recording series on preparing for surgery and had never used relaxation recordings before. Although I tried several others, yours was by far the best for me. I used them for 2 months before and now 4 and a half weeks after the surgery I am still using them. My surgery went extremely well. I had the anesthesia nurse read me healing statements. I had no pain when I woke up from the anesthesia. The nerve block helped, but so did my state of relaxation. I just returned from an acupuncture appointment and she said she’s never seen any scars healing so well…I love your recordings and tell everyone about them."

2. "I wanted to thank you for making your tapes available, especially Change the Channel on Pain, and Healing Journey. These two tapes helped me through four painful days while being bedridden with severe neck pain from a slipped disc and a degenerating disc. When the pain was so severe and unbearable, I laid on my back perfectly still and surrendered. I kept my body relaxed by using your Change the Channel on Pain tape for an hour and then switching for the next hour to the Healing Journey tape with the breathing music…I’ve learned how to separate my body from my mind to give them both a rest. I listened to Easing into Sleep every night and Rainbow Butterfly during the day, all the while staying flat on my back relaxing and enjoying my inner healing work… It was an exciting challenge to direct my mind and body…to help heal from within and to be able to feel relaxed and know the pain at the same time. I’ve experienced a real accomplished feeling… Your tapes are invaluable. I’m fascinated by the benefits of relaxation and how it’s helped me in my life, and also by my ability to so easily and so pleasurably use imagery techniques."

5. "…how Personal Excellence has caused almost miraculous changes in the life of an aspiring/struggling author of still-unpublished fiction. You would not believe—well, change that; sure, you would…that’s why you created the program in the first place, correct?—you would not believe how that cassette series has changed my thinking about my aspirations. … the doubt, uncertainty, and sometimes overwhelming feelings of futility have all but disappeared since I started working towards Personal Excellence."

7. "I was given a copy of your tape, Writing Your Own Script, five years ago and I have been so transformed that I look in the mirror and that is not the lady I grew up with. I don’t think the same, act the same, walk, talk, or look the same. … You have been a major influence in my transformation and have truly helped me to experience the endless wells of joy in my spirit. I had been studying and reading metaphysical books, attending new age seminars and meditation classes for about four years. It was all just a lot of intellectual theories in my head. I could not get past my fear, guilt, anger, etc. You gave me a picture and the feelings of my real self and enabled it all to gel for me… I have been collecting meditation tapes for years. I have never seen anything as powerful and effective as your programs are."

8. "Letting Go of Stress" has four different relaxation exercises all on one tape. This gives it variety and versatility in meeting the individual needs of the participants. People like it. They like your imagery, your voice, and the music. The timing is well-paced. No one feels rushed. And your cues seem to coincide naturally with people’s responses to the exercises. Participants have commented that it’s ‘amazing how he seems to know exactly what’s happening with me’. … Because of the overwhelmingly positive reception to Letting Go of Stress within the stress management workshop at AT&T Communications, I have recommended and am using it in the same way…at General Motors…(and)…at Motorola. Dr. Miller, not only have I personally seen and heard over 1000 individuals positively respond to Letting Go of Stress, but I have experienced first-hand the rewarding difference it has made in my own life. Letting Go of Stress, I’m convinced, is a winner!

9. "Letting Go of Stress is unquestionably the best tape available on stress management and relaxation training. After several years of searching for an appropriate tape to use in my own personal as well as professional work, I finally came upon the work of Dr. Emmett Miller. His recordings and guided courses are clear, easy to follow, and ultimately effective. I highly recommend these tapes to all health professionals working in the field of stress management and to anyone interested in learning to relax, think more clearly, revitalize his or her body, sleep better, or simply be healthier."

It’s not easy to change a world wide system based on fear to one of dialog, compromise, and ultimately mutual respect. I applaud your commitment to assist us as individuals as well as shifting the collective…I’m indebted to you for helping me put long-standing addictions/patterns behind me once and for all. I can now focus on something that is much larger than myself.
