Subliminal CDs like this one are a great tool, but people need to realize they can't rip the CD to create an MP3 for an iPod. Doing so will destroy the subliminal messages because of the distortions resulting from audio compression. This reduces the effectiveness of the CD and could possibly make things worse rather than better. In the case of these Brain Sync CDs, the compression in MP3s may also mangle the subliminal brain wave signals (alpha, theta) woven into the music. I think some of the people posting negative reviews may have converted these CDs into MP3s and as a result, experienced no benefits or negative benefits.

If you MUST use your CD on your computer, only use LOSS-LESS audio formats like ".wav" for best results. Any compressed audio format will destroy some of the hidden information in the audio track.

I am more mindful of my thoughts since listening. I also find it easier to dismiss my neg. thinking. The music is easy to listen to and I find it to be calming, which makes it great to fall asleep to. I find the 2nd track to be esp. relaxing, almost like a brain massage. You can listen to the 1st track as many times a day as you want. The 2nd track you should only listen to up to 2x's a day as it contains special freqencies that stimulate the brain to make it more receptive to the messages.[...]

Behind the shimmering audio of new age music are a string a subliminal messages.
It is a winning combination. It works. Although I have listened to the music many times, it has yet
to bore me.

Not what I expected. I purchased a CD of Kelly Howells from Avon a few years back - and she talks to you, helping you to stay focused and get relaxed. But this is just music and maybe some... singing? or a woman singing AAAHHHHH - pleasant, but not what I was thinking. I found my thoughts easily distracted. I prefer someone speaking to help me stay focused.

I popped this cd in my computer while at work and have it playing in the background throughout the day. It is nice, quiet and relaxing music. I have been listening for about three weeks. I have noticed that my stress level has decreased and my mood is more pleasant....whether or not that is necessarily attributed to this cd I cannot say. However, I consider it worth the money.

I was disappointed in Track 1 of this CD (as well as track 1 of Stress Free Living) where the piano music was way too somber to really relax and enjoy especially if your dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression issue. It reminded me of what I was trying to forget. If there were any subliminals here, they didn't stand a chance of getting through. On the other hand, track 2 of both CDs were beautiful and exactly the mood for which I was looking. Do the track 2s work?; I believe so but it is a long term committment which is good.

I'm confused what the others reviewers see as positive with this CD.
The first part is bad piano music, and the second part has a disturbing grating noise all through it. Remember the movie, Contact?
I have many of her other CDs, but this was my first purchase of one of her subliminals.
I kept trying to get good results, but it was the complete opposite for me.
I now won't ever consider buying any of her subliminals.
Sorry
I have 4 of her other CDs that I use often. I had hoped this subliminal CD would be as good, and then my plan was to buy a Stop Smoking CD for a male relative in his mid twenties so he could have a chance at a reasonable life-span.
But I know if it is like the positive thinking subliminal,he couldn't tolerate it. He would hate it and it would make him wary of any CDs that may be of actual use.
Kelly Howell needs to listen to this product she offers for sale, and fix it or take it off the market.

I love the music in this CD. However, I didn't expect subliminal. I guess I was in a hurry when I ordered it. I love Kelly Howell's voice on other CDs.

Personally, I wasn't knocked-off-my-feet for this one. I found the narrator's voice a little annoying, and I just don't have the time to listen to the entire CD every single day. It is uplifting, though, and I'm sure that if I gave it my all that it would help. The format, however, just wasn't condusive to my lifestyle.

It's pretty piano music and I like to listen to it. I think it does lift my spirits one way or another.
