Hypnotic Regression Therapy, June 4, 2008
This review is from: Regression to Times and Places (Meditation Regression) (Audio CD)
Brian has the perfect voice for this kind of thing. This CD is part of a series of 3. I have all 3. I love them all.
Brian is a graduate of Columbia University and Yale Medical School. Part of his private practice is in hypnotic regression therapy. Brian begins by guiding you into a very relaxing state of consciousness, then into a protective bubble of light, so you feel "safe" enough to let yourself go. He releases your mind from the time/space limitations so you can remember "everything". You then walk down a long staircase to a beautiful peaceful garden where your body goes into a deeper relaxation state so it can heal and rejuvinate. You then see a beautiful building, ascend its steps, and meet a beautiful being (spirit guide), enter the building to receive healing there, in a special room, covered in light reflecting on you through the crystals. You can even adjust/tune the crystals to direct specific colored light beams into specific body parts. This is really quite nice and if you are already familiar with energy concepts/healing with color and crystals/and advanced visualization techniques, this CD will be especially precious to you. This is an excellent treat for your inner and outer self. As you absorb the healing rays, you can ask questions of your guide and review the possible origins of your illness/problem/symptom, etc. (so you can recognize and analyze it/them and then release them). He encourages you to let go of negative emotions of fear/anger/sadness/anxiety/tension/etc. that affect your health and encourages you to feel the positive emotions of peace/love/harmony/joy. You then say goodbye to your guide and return to the garden and rest in a very peaceful state while you kind of set the healing in place. Then you awaken gently.
I usually zonk out and my subconscious takes over.) With meditation or subliminal programming CDs, I believe that they work on the subconscious level, even if you fall asleep. Even if you think that is baloney, then at least I had a very peaceful sleep. What is it the former Bionic Woman says on the Sleep Number Mattress commercials?--"recuperative sleep" or something like that. Sleep really does provide a great opportunity for your mind to help you recognize problems and consider solutions, and also to just shut down and relax. So, if you use this CD for nothing else than a good night's sleep, that alone is worth the price of the CD, especially in these high-stress times. Think of this as a mini-vacation that you can take any time for the cost of lunch or dinner.
There is a second relaxation and meditation experience where you again go deep into la-la land, first by relaxing every cell in your body and relaxing the peacefulness in your heart and filling yourself with a healing light to rid yourself of illness and restoring every cell to its perfect state. Again you go into a protective light bubble and go into a deep state of relaxation where you are beyond the space/time limitations. You return to the garden for healing and peace and go into a journey to your past through a reflective mirror. You move through the mirror to reexperience the past or the future and look for answers for your current lifetime. You are encouraged to just enjoy the experience and not worry about if it is real or not. Of course, Brian brings you back when the experience is over, to feel well rested from your mini-vacation and very peaceful.
You will likely have no problem waking up if there is ever a need to. My experience has been that you are deep enough to completely experience this mini-trip but somehow stay available to the current world if you need to be.
I recently attended a conference where Dr. Weiss was a featured speaker, along with John Holland and Candy Diaz. All 3 of them were great. That conference was actually where I bought the 3 CDs, but they are less expensive at Amazon. I continue to be very pleased with the HayHouse authors I have found. Brian Weiss is one of several.

No specific religion - focused on healing, October 10, 2008
This review is from: Regression to Times and Places (Meditation Regression) (Audio CD)
Pros:
This guided meditation doesn't focus on religion. Instead, it focuses only on relaxation and healing the body through the visual imagery that is presented. This is what I was looking for.
Dr. Weiss has a very pleasing voice as he is directing you to walk through a beautiful garden and into a building. He goes on to say..."in this building there is a marble bench and you lie down on this bench. Your guide arranges crystals that are above your body and your body is healed by the light coming from these colored crystals. You can feel the warmth of the light....."
Cons:
The only thing that I would have liked to have been different is the background music or, really, sounds. What you hear in the background throughout the recording is what sounds like angels singing "aaaaaahhhhaaahhhaa". To my ears, the sound was alittle shrill so it kept me from getting to a truly relaxing state of mind.
I would have preferred the background music/sounds to be something soft such as very low or light music or ocean waves or something relaxing.
Amazon doesn't have an audio sample but you can hear an 8 minute audio sample of this CD at www.learnoutloud.com.

Great gift for yourself & others!, December 13, 2008
This review is from: Regression to Times and Places (Meditation Regression) (Audio CD)
Love from Both Sides: A True Story of Soul Survival and Sacred Sexuality Because I'm a writer, and a working hypnotherapist, I believe in the healing power of love. I've seen it work miracles. And listening to Brian Weiss's voice on this CD will make you feel as if you are bathed in love. He leads you into breathing in colors that can help heal you, then takes you on a journey into a beautiful garden filled with trees and fountains, and there you meet a guide... If you let yourself just focus on his soft, soothing voice you can forget all the stress of the day. I know. Even though I make CDs for my own clients, and make them for myself, when I feel really stressed? I put on one of Brian's CDs and just let them do what they do best, calm me down completely. Better than a glass of wine, and better for you. A great gift for you or anyone else!
