The Self Hypnosis Home Study Course Produces Amazing Results, July 3, 2006
This review is from: The Self-Hypnosis Home Study Course (Paperback)
The Self Hypnosis Home Study Course is a comprehensive and effective program about learning self hypnosis. It includes six CD's of course work, a 107 page workbook, and the hypnotic apothecary (ten CD's of trancework).
The course work covers everything from induction methods for entering trance, common myths and misconceptions about hypnosis, to methods in achieving and deepening trance. The workbook reviews the information that is taught on the six Cd's of course work. It came in handy when I didn't have access to a CD player and for those times when I'd rather read than listen.
The hypnotic apothecary is ten CD's of induction into trance. It includes hypnosis sessions for just about every medical and psychological condition. From relieving anxiety, depression, and phobias to deep relaxation and improving sleep. It includes trancework for relieving, pain, boosting the immune system, and achieving a healthy weight. There is even a session for wart removal. And if you need a boost in confidence... there is also a Cd for that too.
Dr. Gurgevich's soothing voice and positive suggestions are very comforting and powerful to the conscious and subconscious mind. It is very easy going into trance with Dr Gurgevich's gentle and reassuring suggestions.
I had great success with relieving nerve pain in my arms in little over a weeks time. I wondered if I needed to keep doing the hypnosis sessions once the pain was gone so I went to Dr G's website and emailed him with this question. He responded that same day with the answer. He said there is no need to keep doing hypnosis for a condition that has already been healed. So I stopped working on relieving the arm pain and I am happy to say that it has not returned.
The Self Hypnosis Home Study Course works. If you are skeptical all you need to do is listen to the course work and do the trancework and you will learn just how powerful the subconscious mind is. The unlimited power of the subconscious mind lies within each of us and this course teaches you how to tap into that power to achieve miraculous results.

The Secret to Inner Peace!, January 22, 2006
This review is from: The Self-Hypnosis Home Study Course (Paperback)
This is absolutely the most enlightening work I have ever heard in my entire life! A tour de force, destined to become a classic bigger than A Course in Miracles, Dr Gurgevich's ground-breaking Self-Hypnosis Home Study Course is the definitive work on hypnosis, dispelling the many misconceptions that surround it (most notably the idea that hypnosis is done to you by someone else--Not So!) as well as teaching us to heal ourselves! Dr. Gurgevich explains in the first 6 audio CDs of The Course and the lovely book, that all hypnosis is Self-Hypnosis. There is no going under or going out, but simply a gentle journey inward, like a daydream.
Through his soothing gentle voice we learn everything there is to know about hypnosis from its origins to its misapplications under the guise of entertainment (stage hypnosis), and begin immediately having great fun experimenting with induction methods, testing our hypnotizability and playing with the ultra-cool pendulum which comes with The Course. It arrives in a special velvet drawstring bag and through Dr. Gurgevich's expert guidance we learn how to use this pendulum to access our mind/body connection and allow our body to talk to our mind, or rather our mindbody.
But this is just the beginning! After listening through the first 6 CDs, the actual Course itself, and learning and experiencing the most amazing trancework, there is a 10 CD Apothecary to feast on, with everything from easing anxiety to unlocking creativity, learning the Relaxation Response to banishing headaches, loving to exercise to healing your past!
I love how it builds upon itself which is why I recommend going straight through from CD 1 to CD 16 the first time through and resisting the temptation to jump ahead or around in The Apothecary. Dr Gurgevich suggests listening straight through the actual Course itself, (the first 6 CDs) the ones in teal, but I wasn't sure about The Apothecary...the luscious lavender ones...so, though tempted to jump ahead, I listened in order, including the ones I thought didn't pertain to me like wart removal and weight loss, only to discover they had much to teach me as well and were part of the progression and total experience. I just love all the trancework no matter what the topic as each moves me forward to greater heights!
I am SO glad I did it that way now for it is an enchanting and wondrous journey and if you think of how many trances you'll have done by the time you get to CD 16 on such a consistent basis, (and they are progressive trances) you'll be so much more practiced and prepared for the higher levels woven within this work of absolute genius.
As with all great works, The Self Hypnosis Home Study Course can be listened to on many many levels. The obvious one is learning Self-Hypnosis. But there is so much more! It is abounding with the knowledge and wisdom of someone who "gets it" and is willing to share it with us, and I think The Home Study Course should be called Journey to Enlightenment for that is its heart, its essence.
I highly recommend you give yourself the gift of The Self Hypnosis Home Study Course. You deserve it! That's right. It is something you will never regret investing in because it is an investment in yourself. It will help you in every aspect of your life. You WILL learn Self-Hypnosis through this course and it is a portable skill. You can take it with you anywhere, anytime. It is flexible and fun and most importantly, it works!
I always feel so blessed when I am hearing it. When I put it on, the time immediately becomes sacred...timeless...the timeless present. I just love doing my hypnosis! And the more I practice it the better I feel mentally, physically and spiritually!
I think I speak for the many who have yet to discover this life-changing Course, in thanking you for creating it Dr. Gurgevich, for all of those hours and days, weeks and months it must have taken you to create this and giving it to the world!
The Self Hypnosis Home Study Course is a symphony, a masterpiece!
Enjoy! Savor every trance in The Course and The Apothecary and practice your hypnosis for through this Master Healer we are offered a rare opportunity to journey into the enlightenment within ourselves. The Home Study Course really is a Journey to Enlightenment, a Journey to Health, Well-Being and Peace. A Journey to Happiness.
The secret to inner peace is contained within these CDs... Think about it. All you have to do is listen--and then you will hear.

A masterpiece!, March 9, 2007
This review is from: The Self-Hypnosis Home Study Course (Paperback)
The instructional material is literally the state of the art. It solves the major problem with self-hypnosis tapes or CD's, in that any procedure will induce trance in about 80% of the clients/listeners, but they are not the same 80%. In hypnotherapy, if the therapist sees that one procedure isn't working he switches to another technique until he finds what does work well. I have never known a client to notice as this will only take a minute or two.
Gurgevich encourages the listener to ignore what he is saying if the listener likes another induction better, by this time you will be familiar with a wide variety and know what works best for you. This does several things at once and, as I don't want to be accused of showing a magician stuffing a rabbit up his sleeve, I will only comment that this effortlessly moves the listener over the obstacle he might have had trying to "ride two horses at once" when they work on their own. (The author really moves the listener into doing their own tapes which keeps them from becoming "tied to the tape.")
I would recommend going back and listening to the instruction CD's several times as there is more there than you will notice the first time. Gurgevich is a real sneaky son of a gun which is the highest complement a hypnotherapist can receive.
If you are already experienced in hypnosis, you will love this material. Even when you are familiar with what he is doing, his aesthetic choices are delightful. I have 35 years experience and found this to be a real treat. There is a lot here that most people won't notice but you will love.
If you are interested in learning hypnosis, this would be an excellent place to start.
