Review

I have been faithfully using the Weight Loss CD and it is AWESOME! Last night, I felt like I was going to pig out and suddenly, I said out loud, I don't WANT this! I deserve better!and I didn't do it! Weeeee!!! I love it and along with the subliminal playing, self hypnosis, and soon, hopefully, the DVD, I will beat this! Thank you!!! --Patty S.

About the Author

Much has changed since 1976 when I began writing and recording my first hypnosis tape, and since 1979 when I recorded my first subliminal tape. My name is Barrie Konicov. I am the author and voice of Potentials Unlimited products.

I began my hypnosis career in 1976 by conducting group Weight Loss and Stop Smoking classes in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I wanted to extend the benefits of the class once the people had gone home, so I wrote and recorded these two titles to give away to the class participants. Later, I would go on to write and record over 200 titles. My intention was to bring the benefits of hypnosis to every household.

Standing the test of time, my products have become the standard for hypnosis/subliminal products around the world.

Currently, I live in KY while my daughter Stephanie continues the Potentials Unlimited tradition.

This review is from: Weight Loss (Subliminal Persuasion Self-Hypnosis) (Audio CD)

On the positive side, I think Konicov has a good voice and maintains a good vocal pitch for the audio. He's good at including the kind of key reminders one expects from hyponosis: breathing deeply, positive thinking, etc. On the negative, Konicov veers too far from the issue at hand and indulges in extended visualizations that do not guide the listener to eat less and exercise more. Instead, there is a naive and distracting focus on the possible thoughts and reactions of some "other" third party.

While there is a plethora of serious scientific research that supports the idea of a mind-body connection, Konicov does not draw on this, instead he dips into the worst kind of new age "hoo-ha" that has given the term "new age" (and genuine new age concepts) a bad reputation. Finally, his script has been poorly-edited: there are grammar mistakes and syntax errors, which after 30 consecutive days of listening I found particularly irritating. And the end result? No, I didn't lose any weight, my motivation did not improve, and my behaviors have not changed. If there had been no "hoo-ha" and if the text had focused more extensively on eating less and exercising more, I would have easily given this self-hypnosis audio 4 or 5 stars.

This review is from: Weight Loss (Subliminal Persuasion Self-Hypnosis) (Audio CD)

While going through a divorce, I tried this. When I took a nap or at night, I'd play it in my bedroom. Not only did I lose 35 pounds over a period of time, I slept better after listening to it. It gives very commonsense advice, but the repetition really helped me. I was so pleased with it, I bought others by Konicov for everything from improving my bowling, to decision making, to adjusting to the divorce.
