Great insight into the subconscious behavior, November 5, 2004
This review is from: Classic Weight Release (Audio CD)
I have the pleasure to review the two audio tapes, narrated by the pleasant and comforting voice of their author.
The first tape, "Classic Weight Release":
_______________________________________
This audio CD presents valuable teaching on self-hypnosis as a mean of mastering and understanding the subconscious mind. It dissects the process of decision-making and its reflection on behavior, which determines our habits of picking and choosing food. The spirit of the teaching is uplifting in exploring the great things in life that we take for granted and forget to take few minutes of our daily life to appreciate our blessed gifts. The audio has great background music and comforting narrating voice.
My only take on the theme of this CD is related to her emphasis on drinking water for weight release. I believe that the effect of drinking water in releasing weight is little exaggerated. It assumes that drinking water a lot washes away impurities. That is unscientific. Although the author stresses on exercising three or more times a day, she contends that drinking water is equally effective in releasing weight. This view will not please people from scientific background. As far as hypnosis is concerned, weight release should be confined to the rule of hypnosis in modifying behavior and enhancing self-esteem without encroaching of the science of biochemistry and making inaccurate recommendation.
The second tape, "Remove Cellulite":
_________________________________
This audio CD presents a great lesson in tricking the subconscious mind to function in a positive way through comforting suggestions on relaxation, also with great background music and pleasant narrating voice.
My main criticism on the premise of making the body smooth and firm through suggestibility is that it is unrealistic. The subconscious mind cannot modify cellular metabolism. Fat burning is not an autonomic function and cellulite is not merely gel, water, and fat that could be washed away with water. You cannot alter your body fat content through heightened suggestibility. However, the author emphasizes that suggestibility could help you overcome the self-deception of over-consumption of carbohydrates. She also emphasizes eating lean meats, fresh and raw vegetables, and exercising.
Despite my criticism, I think that the author is very skilful hypnotist and her pleasant demeanor will ingrain healthy habits into your subconscious.
