Now I have purchased many of Gurgevich's CD's including his "Self-Hypnosis Diet" and I learn new ways to go into trance state with each. And it worked.just like the other hypnosis CD's I had which also had nothing to do with losing weight, I continued to lose more weight on this CD. I want to mention that I don't have any sickness or disease, but that was not my purpose of using the CD - I simply wanted to hear a different way of using hypnosis.
with a few other self-hypnosis tapes, but I had heard of him and wanted to check out a slightly more "clinical" methodology. Still, the first CD was nice, it puts hypnosis in a positive light. Really Steven Gurgevich is why I purchased this audio CD - I had already lost 45 lbs.
Considering all the nonsense out there about hypnosis, the last thing I wanted was to purchase some kind of mysterious CD.Gurgevich shows techniques on the 2nd tape on how to use hypnosis - well, actually, as he says, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, so all you have to do is listen to the CD. If you're interested in working with your unconscious mind in order to attain specific goals, then hypnosis can be effective and Gurgevich is excellent at delivering the message. I was vaguely familiar with Dr.
Weil as the holistic practitioner on various TV programs, but all he really does is support the concept of medical hypnosis to relieve "real" medical problems.
So not sure how it really is. I did not listen to this. My husband is a hard sell.
For others this cd works extremely well. bothers me; I want to hear the whole piece. Generally, I do not find that classical music relaxes me as does Andrew Weil's "Breathing: The Master to Self-Healing". I find that excerpts of complete concerti etc.
I also appreciate the concept presented: "YOUR MIND-BODY CONNECTION." This insight increases motivation and seems to me to be founded on solid ground. Still, I couldn't get my monkey brain to shut up and I couldn't make my stiff muscles in my neck and back relax. No wonder that Dr. I exhausted myself every day.
I take Zoloft for anxiety and depression. I do not recommend that anyone stop taking antidepressant medication prescribed by their physician, but I do recommend this CD set to anyone needing help relaxing. Weil endorses his presentation. None the less, I still was having trouble trying to relax.
And I knew that this stress would someday catch up with me.Professor Gurgevich's relaxation exercises, as conveyed on this CD set, has been of enormous help. These exercises work and have no undesirable side effects. I'm seventy years old, but probably because I eat un-American, and I do exercise regularly, I'm still quite healthy. This is, at times, quite painful.
I kept opening one eye to check how long the session was lasting and couldn't make it tothe 5th minute of the 16 minute session. I was only able to get through about 15 minutesof his introductory material. Then I went back and gave hisprogressive relaxation session a try. .OK, I will revise my rating to 2 stars, because after trying again I was able to get through the healing induction two days in a row. Maybe it's me, but Ialso found this to be possibly the worst most unlistenable CDI have ever encountered. I still can't listen to any of the other inductions or information sessions, and rather than feeling refreshed, the healing induction leaves me feeling subdued and groggy.I have to agree with the other reviewer who gave this one star.I don't know if it his inflated vocabulary, tone of voice, ortheatrical delivery, but I found the CD sessions spoken byDr. It's not the worst CD I ever heard after all. Gurgevich to be so grating and irritating that I just couldn'tlisten to them.
