Just what's needed for a new outlook in lifeOctober 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have used hypnosis tapes in the past and while they were generally helpful, I rarely ever had the time to listen to them as I would never really sleep but stay awake an extra hour. I found Kelly's tapes and it is the best out there. I ordered the second version because the main track is 30 mins long instead of the usual 1hr. Yes, the meditation is basically a reading of the end chapter notes of the book "Three Magic Words. I highly recommend the book in addition to the CD because it gives you the foundations of why this recoding is so effective. Basically, this is not a guided meditation, but a loop of her voice reading statements over and over again. I have been in therapy for a year or so and my therapist was flabbergasted at the results. Somehow, my thought patterns, which would be somewhat negative, and repetitive, were gone; I became lighter and less worried in general. As with all books and tapes, it's important to remember that there is no magic solution and that anything works better if you commit to it and find other support to go along with it. I also recommend, along with this CD, her other CD "The Secret to Creating Wealth", which should actually be titled "The Secret to Manifestation". That one is a guided meditation that allows you to envision your ideal life, etc...Please note that I have cheated somewhat: I listen to the CDs through my ipod at work, about 1-3hrs a day on some days (at the beginning I really listened to it everyday, even on the subway or trains). I'm lucky that my phone rarely rings at work!
Meditation IIOctober 22, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I listen to this when I go to bed. It lulls me to sleep so softly, and I definitely feel better in the morning. I stayed awake during the first listening, to make sure it didn't clash with my Christianity, and it doesn't. If you put trash in your mind, guess what you'll get? This puts positive thoughts into your brain, to help you focus on the better things, and help you deal with bad things. LOVE IT!
Horrible side effects that are not going awayOctober 6, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I listened to this cd every other night for 2 weeks; the other nights I listened to Kelly Howell's Secret to Attracting Wealth. Everything was fine for those 2 weeks. The Cd's were very relaxing and even helped put me to sleep. On the following Mionday morning, things went to hell. For over 2 weeks now, I have had an ever-present dull headache with frequent intermittent crushing pains, mostly in the back of my head. Plus I have often felt at times that I am out-of-body and have even had to leave work. I know this is from these cd's; there is nothing else it could be. I am very healthy, 33 years old, and no history of anything like this. Plus the morning I first awoke with the symptoms, I felt like I was still stuck in the meditative state, like I was stuck between being awake and dreaming. I contacted the brain sync company multiple times, and after about 10 days they finally got back to me and said it wasn't their cd's and that I should seek medical attention. Everything checked out fine with my physician, but my ongoing research on the negative effects associated with meditation has only solidifed my belief that these brain-wave entrainment cd's are highly dangerous. If you want to research for yourself, run a search on the following: meditation, hypersynchrony, intercranial pressure, harmful effects of meditation, etc. I look back and wonder why I was so dumb to trust anything that would alter my brainwaves. Let this be a warning to everyone.
Letting this work through meOctober 5, 2008 I found this meditation during a time when my life was overwhelmed with fear. I am a full time student, 52 years of age, and a follower of The Secret, but I would wake up in the mornings with this ache in my heart and fear of the unknown. I was not sure what this meditation was going to be like, but have used it every night for the last 3 weeks and how my outlook has changed. The smallest to the greatest area has been affected. My fear about driving to and from school, how I internalize others perceptions of daily encounters, and my grades have been amazing.There is a track that is quiet and I am able to use my own affirmations about the abundance in my life, how I am giving and receiving love and how my school work is improving. Thanks for the opportunity to express how this has changed my life, I have recommended this CD to many of my school friends. Liz Taylor
Great partner to her first CDOctober 3, 2008 Kelly's voice is soothing and helps to fall asleep to - the mind-sync method is the way to go for me.
