[.ca] Self Hypnosis Kit (ISBN 0670865303)

Great book, even better audio tape:
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.

Good guided meditation tape:
This is a great guided meditation tape; I love it and use it frequently. Hypnosis? No. I do not believe I have experience self-hypnosis through this tape. Maybe with more practice I will, but to date I admit to a little disappointment in not achieving self-hypnosis. Why then 5 stars you ask? I find meditating with the tape very soothing and calming. The woman's accent and voice are lovely, and even if I never become hypnotized, the tape has been extremely useful to me.

Fell asleep!:
I think this is a nicely done kit on self-hypnosis, but--as with so many self-hypnosis tapes, I fell asleep while listening to it. I've made the attempt twice now and just can't seem to stay awake. I'm not blaming the kit, itself, but there's got to be a way to stay awake during self-hypnosis...and I can't be the only one who has encountered this problem.

Best Self-Hypnosis Kit Ever:
I'm a clinical hypnotherapist and this is by far the best self-hypnosis book I've ever read. Straight to the point, yet informative and intellectually stimulating. On top of that, the book comes with the best self-hypnosis cassette I've ever listened to. I highly recommend this kit to anyone interested in self improvement through self-hypnosis.
