Allen Holmquist's MEDITATIONS FOR WEIGHT LOSS is a wonderful tool to be used in conjunction with relaxation and weight loss theraphy. Mr. Holmquist has a very convincing, soothing voice and this CD was just what I was looking for. As everyone knows, diets don't work so we have to work on feeding our hungry minds and emotions as much as what we put in our mouths. I listen to this tape every morning before I begin my day and it is puts me in such a great mood and relaxes all my tensions away. Meditation should be an integral part of all of our lives but so often we can't afford or don't have the time for personal hypnosis theraphy on a regular basis. This CD gives you all the tools you need to get to that subconcsious place you want to be. Every day of my life someone told me I wasn't OK in some form or another because I was fat. I am now reprogramming my mind to accept a new way of thinking and living--without negativity! Thank you, Mr. Holmquist, for helping to improve my life. "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." You will not be disappointed in this CD.

This is a very relaxing and soothing cd, all the music and words make perfect sense on how the innerself thinks and feels. It makes the thought of loosing weight just a little more enjoyable..actually a lot more enjoyable......a must to try.....Only one place i felt needed work was the very first of the cd could have used just a little bit more introductory music before the meditation of words begin.

I really love this CD. It is my second favorite weight loss CD tool. I especially love the Ideal Body meditation track (that alone is worth the less than ten dollar purchase price). My absolute favorite CD is Dr. Rick Collingwood's weight loss Vol 1, but Meditations For Weight Loss has also been essential. The two compliment each other very well - for me they were both essential and they really do work!

Meditations for weight loss has impressed me more than any other meditation CD that I have listened to. The narrator seems to know the exact right things to say for the space that I am in. For instance, when settling into a meditative space, he provides time to breath deeply and really let the relaxation enter your body. He also allows you the time to find uncomfortable parts of your body and readjust them so that you can feel comfortable for 20 minutes of meditation (referring to the 3rd track, "Ideal Body Image Meditation").

I like how he says, "you might find yourself saying..." This form of suggestion is so much more effective than saying it forcefully. My subconscious doesn't fight it.

In the 1st track, I appreciate how he suggests finding more satisfying ways of meeting needs than eating between meals. I agree that finding other enjoyable ways to take a break is an important tool for overcoming unhealthy eating habits.

In the 2nd track, "Grace Before Eating," I find that playing it while I am doing other things is also effective. It reminds me to slow down and check in with my body. It helps me to think of food as a source of nourishment and to value what I put into my body for fuel. It also helps to put me in a calm state of mind so that I don't eat compulsively.

This CD is so insightful and intuitive. It really is well thought-out, in a way that I have not experienced from other CDs. The narrator's voice is very calming and soothing. He sounds like a very self-possessed and calm adult. (Unlike some of the other CDs where the narrator sounds like a 12-year old kid or like she is talking to 5 year olds.)

The background sounds are calming and easy to relax to. The production quality of this CD is excellent.

This is a fantastic CD and I highly recommend it. In fact, I'm going to search for more from this author right now.

I have not tried meditation for weight loss before, so this is my first attempt using meditation with a guided CD. I find the CD to be very helpful. I get anxious when i'm confronted with food, which often sabotages me more than anything else. This CD helps me relax, by listening to it before i'm confronted with a lot of food. The one line sayings in each meditation stick in my brain, and I definitely find that I am more mindful of what I eat. It helps me feel more in control. Meditations are easy to listen to, and most are relatively short for someone who is busy. Even the 6 minute meditation is very helpful, and even the busiest of people should be able to fit it in. It was very relaxing and I come out of it feeling refreshed.

I bought this CD along with 2 other weight loss CD's (one by Glenn Harrold and another by Tina Saatchi (sp?)... "I Decide / I create..." This one is by far the best. His voice is relaxing and easy to listen to. There are 4 different tracks on the CD; each of the meditations is different and I like them all. Track #4, though, is my favorite. I believe you can affect your own metabolism with hypnosis / guided imagery and I have been looking for something similar to track #4. It takes you on a journey into your mind's "control room" where you can "reset the dials" that determine your metabolic rate. The descriptions are easy to follow and in some cases quite detailed. I enjoy listening on my ipod before I fall asleep. I highly recommend this CD.

Next time I will not buy any DVD's or CD's that I cannot hear part of first. I did not like this and it was not what I expected - Amazon should allow their customers the ability to hear part of any DVD's or CD's that they have for sale.

I use this tool to keep me motivated. This works well on your sub conscience mind at night before you fall a sleep. I listen to it on my IPhone. Get ready to make wise food decisions.

I find that when I need help to relax that this helps me out ...

Relaxing audio. The narrator has a soothing voice that soothes the stress of the day.
