I have never availed myself of this type of product, so I don't know how it stacks up against similar offerings. A friend of mine received a million dollars from John Beresford Tipton after listening to this CD. I borrowed it for a six-week trial.
When I first listened, I was a little creeped out by a woman's voice intoning "woooOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooo." After that, the program consists of Kelly Howell whispering and cooing sensuously in your ear. Sometimes you can hear three Kellys at once dropping sweet morsels of ultra-positive thought into your psyche. The soothing sound track consists of whooshing sounds like a distant sirocco or waves ebbing from the shore. There are dreamy new age musical tones. For me, the overall effect is highly relaxing, even when I climb into bed with my mind racing. It seems to help me wake up in a better mood.
Kelly's sultry voice is likely to please male listeners. She should issue a program to alleviate erectile dysfuntion. Why not? Check out the scary side effects of ED medications. Kelly has a program for myriad conditions that might improve with positive thinking, so an ED CD makes sense.
There are issues with this program, however. Amazon participants have reported the following:
--The Secret Universal Mind Meditation was not produced by, nor is it connected with Rhonda Byrne, bestselling author of "The Secret." A couple of Amazon participants have accordingly blasted The Secret UMM because of this.
Yes, it was probably created to capitalize on the commercial success of The Secret. The wrapper of my CD emphasizes THE SECRET in large type. Kelly might have taken some heat over that because the current cover (shown on Amazon) has The Secret in a tiny font, with universal mind MEDITATION emphasized.
At the start of The Secret UMM, however, Kelly credits U. S. Andersen for the content. Andersen put out a book called The Secret of Secrets in 1958, so does Rhonda Byrne deserve a drubbing too?
--There are potentially disturbing biblical implications. Participants have objected to the CD's references to God. If you are sensitive about how people think about God or talk about God in ways that differ from your concepts, I suggest not buying this program. It will make you drop to the floor and flail your legs wildly, causing you to spin like a dervish as you go "chuffachuffachuffa" like Curly Howard.
--Subliminal messages may be embedded. Upon a signal generated from the Ashland, Oregon, headquarters of Brain Sync, the organization that produces The Secret UMM, users of Kelly's programs will be induced to...who knows? Buy Kelly's new ED CD? Vote for Ron Paul?
--A transcript of the program is not included with the CD. A transcript might put to rest fears that the program feeds you messages that will undermine your mental or spiritual integrity. My CD didn't include a transcript. Since I always fall asleep in about 5 minutes, I have no idea whether my precious bodily fluids are still pure. If Kelly is really up to no good, she could just print a false transcript.
If you can put these issues aside, you will probably be satisfied with the product if only as an enjoyable sleep aid that doesn't leave you groggy or turn you into a marauding night creeper. Who knows, maybe Michael Anthony will come knocking at your door.

I have been truly amazed at how great my overall feeling is. I've been using this audio for a few weeks now and didn't notice anything till today: I own a growing business and have 5 employees. A lot of stress, with situations that always arise. Looking for ways to assist me in dealing with this, build my confidence with my decisions and overall empowerment I found this audio author. A situation arose today, and I was truly calm! Amazed about that, and was calm even hours after! I knew this audio had helped; I listen to it daily and actually listen at times of high stress or to recoup. No, it's not The Secret, but a good side aid to assist in building the strength, confidence and perseverance to thwart nay-sayers who wish you ill. I highly recommend Ms. Howell and her audios. It's great and makes you feel awesome. NO I didn't send her any money or join her cult... ;) ha-ha, sorry have to add some humor! Smile everyone, Have a great day!

For someone that firmly believes that our lives are controlled by our thoughts, perspectives, beliefs and faith, this is perfect!!!!
This audio is soothing, inspirational, motivating and just an overall delight to listen to. Her voice, her words and the music were so captivating that I didn't even want to go to sleep the first time I listened to it. I just wanted to hear everything that she was saying and let it soak it (even though it does that automatically on a subconscious level anyway).
This was my first experience with Kelly's audiobooks. I searched long and hard and dedicated myself to reading reviews and ordering something that I felt would be a perfect fit. This truly was just that. No disappointment, just a renewed sense of being. I woke up after my first night listening and I felt so at peace, so comforted, so alive!!!
I recommend this to anyone. I strongly don't believe that you will be disappointed!!!
I woke up this morning and felt absolutely compelled to share my experience.
But has anyone actually attracted what they wanted???November 25, 2007 I'm interested in this CD, I haven't bought it, yet. According to the Editorial Review above: "Without knowing how or why, everything you need and desire will come to you through communing with the Universal Mind."
I've been reading through the customer reviews to see how others have felt about the product. The consensus seems to be that it helped make the individual feel more serene, made sleep come more easily, etc. While that may be essential for manifesting what you want this isn't exactly manifestation itself. There are a host of other audio products out there for serenity that don't market themselves as tools for manifesting your heart's desire.
So, let's hear from the folks that have actually received what they wanted as a result of listening to the CD. Until then I will stick with the 1-star rating, even though I haven't purchased the CD.
