I have used a number of Hypnosis programs over the years and I have always valued their ability to induce physical and mental relaxation. The one that had the most impact on me was Barry Konicov’s Money and Prosperity which gave me unusually extravagant financial fantasies!
Then I discovered Mike Brescia’s ‘Think Right Now! Accelerated Success Conditioning Programs’.
I’ve always been a sucker for a ‘pull yourself up by your boot straps’ story and that was Mike’s. He’d gone from being a complete failure, depressed and living in a vehicle to an award winning salesman .
He attributed his success to self hypnosis PROGRAMS he’d created himself using the Suggestopaedic format, an accelerated learning system created by psychotherapist Georgi Lozanov. This system uses ‘baroque’ -60 beats per minute- music to induce a receptive state for learning new mental patterns.
He was able to release his key unsupportive mental patterns and instil the core positive ones that supported his future success.
Being prone to bouts of depression, I was drawn to try his ‘Freedom From Depression Now’ program. His analysis of the nature of depression particularly gelled with me.
The glowing testimonials on the website and the promise that if I wasn’t satisfied after 6 months I could have a refund, completed my persuasion.
The CD duly arrived.
As someone who doesn’t relax easily I was disappointed at the briefness of the initial relaxation induction. (I need to go through every muscle from top to bottom and then back again) but after a while I adjusted to this. Next there was a series of releasing statements, (accompanied by the relaxing music), all in the first person and spoken by a woman with a New York accent.
-I am free to let go of all anxiety and worry now-
I quickly got used to this unfamiliar accent, although at times I found myself wondering;‘why is this nice woman telling me so much about herself?’
The second part of the CD repeated the same relaxation induction then offered the core positive patterns.
-I am completely healed in my body and mind-
Each affirmation was repeated three times with 8 second intervals.
I took this CD very seriously and listened to it every night for six months.
When I noticed I was not making any improvements I emailed the company and they suggested that I start listening to it during the day as well .
It is one thing to listen to a CD at night as you drift off, but very different to take time out of your day for it. Then the claim that ‘change is effortless with this program’ begins to pall. It is an effort to listen repeatedly to a CD which you are already very familiar with, in the cold light of day.
However even this was not enough to overcome my deeply ingrained habits and as the 6th month mark arrived I did not feel I could invest more time in this program.
I enjoyed using the CD and the prospect that my mind would absorb the appealing affirmations which were different from my normal beliefs. Unfortunately my mind remained resistant to the new concepts.
Listening did, however, stir up a lot of deep feelings in me. This was an interesting by-product. Presented with invitations to release stuff, my mind obliged with emotions.
This is a professionally produced and well thought out product and my experience is probably not typical, as the many testimonials will verify.
I subsequently discovered EFT which helped me deal with depressive moods more effectively than anything else.”
