After just one listen to these tapes, I can feel something shifting on deeper levels. I definitely feel more calm, and a sense of overall peace. The music and the sounds that accompany it are very relaxing, though not in a typical new-agey kind of way. The guided visualizations are a bit unusual, but I found them to match the style of the music. A man's voice is used, and I found that it gave the directions a forceful feel. Somewhat like 2001's Hal at times. Trippy and spacey. They actually use sounds recorded from space.

I believe some of the previous reviewers have missed the boat in understanding these CD's. They are for the purpose of self-hypnosis. That "irritating patter" of voice is designed to implant positive concepts deep in the core of your subconscious to assist you in life. But you have to be able to "let go" in order for it to work. If all you hear is the patter, you're not allowing it to work. If you want relaxation and rejuvenation, Thompson's Brainwave Suite is excellent. But if you want to make changes in your life, Brainwave Journey can really help. Since I've been listening to Dr. Thompson's works, I am no longer stressed out and angry in traffic; I'm more effective at work and calmer at home.

I bought this boxed set on a somewhat desperate whim during the last trimester of a pregnancy that featured intense insomnia. I'd had this problem before with a previous gestation, but had effective relief with some childbirth hypnosis tapes that I can't find on the net anymore. So, I tried this boxed set hoping it would be relaxing, soothing, and encourage sleep. Well, it's very effective for that purpose. It's very difficult to stay awake during the first (spoken) section. However, the voice on the CD is very strange and changes enough that you "unrelax" and think..."boy, that's really weird." Of the four CD's the "Body" CD seems to be the least corny and effective. There does seem to be a lasting relaxation effect, but I can't really say that I've noticed any substantial changes. OK to try, but you may want to start with something cheaper.

As an owner of Thompson's Brainwave Suite, I am quite disappointed in Brainwave Journey. The music and sounds are outstanding, but the voice track is annoying and distracting.

The voice is a strange, electronic babble. This is unfortunate, and unnessary. The music could stand alone to inspire your mind to travel into a relaxed, positive mental journey.

My frustration grew intense after a couple of months that I gave away this box set, and have since replaced it with some wonderful collections by Hearts of Space.

I have several of Dr. Thompson's CD programs, and this is BY FAR the best. These CDs are perfect for improving creativity, inner peace, mood, focus, stress levels and relaxation. Though I typically prefer instrumental brainwave entrainment CDs, the power of the spoken words and the way they are presented in this collection seem to be far more effective. These CDs have produced fantastic results in my life.

It is a journey that will be very difficult to forget.Even if you never tried meditation before listen to this.All you have to do is close your eyes and relax very soon you are going to find yourself in a world of sounds combined with colorfull pictures.
I believe it is worthy to eperience it.

UNREAL! This was my first REAL introduction to this
form of relaxation. Although I didn't find tapes
1,3 & 4 to be as enjoyable as Cassette 2 (Journey
of the Mind)
I lay on the floor with my eyes closed and experienced
euphoria like I have never thought possible thru
music. If anyone had walked in they would have thought
I was nuts, lying there with a big happy cheesy grin, revelling
in my latest musical DISCOVERY
BRAVO BRAVO!
We could all use a 30 minute relaxation breather EVERY DAY!
Loved it!
