5.0 out of 5 stars Pleastantly suprised., June 20, 2002

By	T West - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Self-Hypnosis Kit: Discover the Power of Hypnotherapy to Improve Your Life (Paperback)

This actually worked. I read the book,put the tape in followed the voice and before I knew it I could not open my eyes! I was in a trance or under hypnosis. I came out of the hypnosis feeling great. Completely relieved of my worries and stress. Alot of people complained of the accent of the lady on the tape. Don't think about it. She has a soothing voice. Before you know it you will be in your own garden created in your own mind. Once you get the hang of hypnosis you can use it to take away other problems,headaches,asthma,smoking,aches and pains,worries,just about everything that bothers you.

Try it. Results will happen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, even better audio tape, May 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Self-Hypnosis Kit: Discover the Power of Hypnotherapy to Improve Your Life (Paperback)

I, too, often fall asleep listening to the audio tape. I consider it a good thing since I normally have trouble falling asleep. If you do not want to fall asleep while listening to this tape, I reccommend sitting upright in a chair without a head rest; use the tape at a time when you are not tired. Besides helping me sleep better, both the book and the tape helped me handle my stress and self-esteem issues. The book is packed full of affirmation scripts for different ailments (including smoking cessation, skin problems, asthma, and confidence) that you can use to personalize your self-hypnosis routine. I found the one on weight control to be especially useful in helping me achieve my weight loss goals. Only one thing would make this product perfect: if the audio tape was a CD instead. When I fall asleep during the tape, the automatic stop button pops up and rudely rips me from my sleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Excellent! Multi-purpose use, June 6, 2001

By	Sonja Steyn (Randburg, Gauteng South Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Self-Hypnosis Kit: Discover the Power of Hypnotherapy to Improve Your Life (Paperback)

I've used this tape a few times now and it REALLY WORKS! It is GREAT! If you can count, you can do it. The great thing about the "garden" is, that you visualize it - it becomes your garden. Like a real garden, you can also change it!

I took away plants, added a gate and a whole beach and sea behind it - on which I take regular "walks" when giving myself positive statements to study better, relax more and do just about anything! (I recently made a work-deadline, which I wouldn't have been able to, if I didn't use self-hypnosis)

The soothing voice helps. There's also a booklet with suggestions that can help one increase confidence, manage stress, get fit, sleep better, relieve asthma, develop your spirituality, heal yourself, relieve pain, improve your health, quit smoking, control weight, think positively, ease childbirth, enhance memory and improve at sport.

The suggestions in the book can be followed, or you can use suggestions of your own - I have - it works really well. The best thing is after doing the technique twice, you have the hang of it and you can hypnotise yourself anytime, anywhere to get positive results. Well worth the money - and then some!
