Guided Relaxation Self Hypnosis CD / MP3 and APP (3 IN 1 PURCHASE!) - This Hypnotherapy CD is a Guided Meditation CD for Stress and Anxiety Relief

I bought this at full price. How do these people get it at a discount? Anyway I own a fair number of relaxation cd's and the problem I have with most of them is I can't stand the narrator's voice. They so often are drawn out with gooey fake sympathy. I even had one where the speaker had a lisp. Give me a break. This guy's voice is like melting butter. So relaxing. The sequence on the cd is as follows: first you picture a white light that slowly goes through your body. Then you do some calming breathing. You end up on a white sand beach on a small deserted tropical island. There is a garden and a waterfall in the middle of the island. At the end you are resting on the beach. Very relaxing and effective. I had a couple of minor problems with the cd. When he takes you to the garden on the island he talks about visualizing the perfectly manicured lawn surrounding the flowers. At this point I always think "why would there be a perfect lawn on a deserted island" and it kinda makes me a little tense. Not too big of a deal. But at the very end on the "sleep edition" He wakes you from trance and says you can go back to sleep. Why is he waking you to go back to sleep. This feels very jarring to me. Also, after that the cd goes silent. I would have very much liked the music to continue for a short time afterwards. On the whole this is a very good cd but missed the excellent rating.

Firstly, I have no association with the any company that sells this CD or Mark Bowden himself. I paid full price for the CD. I never even heard of hypnotherapy until I googled it after having a couple years of trouble sleeping and some anxiety. I ended up buying this CD after reading some of the reviews and figured it was worth a shot. I work a rotating schedule, 1 month at a time of days, evenings and nights. I used to have trouble sleeping during the day when I would work night shift. Not anymore. I black out my windows, lower the temperature in my bedroom, turn on this CD and off to sleep I go. I definitely recommend this to anyone who has trouble sleeping, relaxing or has some anxiety going on in their life. Note - It's not just for sleeping, there is a daytime 30 minute session which I've used once or twice and it was effective at relaxing me but I mainly use it to calm my mind before sleeping.

Bought it for my spouse who has tinnitus and depression. He didn't like it because of the music. Music drowned out the words being spoken

I have purchased several of Mark Bowden Hypnotherapy cd and found each one them helpful in addressing my needs. His soothing voice and background music makes each cd easy to listen to again and again. The choice of a day time and night time version is convenient as I listen to them at different times. After listening to Guided Relaxation Hypnosis cd the first time I noticed I started to relax. Thanks I needed help with relaxation.

It took about four times to get used to his accent and I don't know what it's like to walk in white sand or be in someplace like the Bahamas but my imagination is working on it

I found this relaxation CD on Amazon last week and decided to give it a try. I've used Holosync meditation CD's for the last four years and thought that they were helpful in treating the symptoms of adrenal fatigue, but hypnotherapy sounded interesting. I've used it every day since receiving it and am very impressed. I doze off, it's so totally relaxing ! I hope to try the one for anxiety, too.Good work, Mark !

It is soooo good and a great cd to have in your collection... Mark will guide you through! This counteracts the job stress that is daily with my situation. It always levels things out and helps guide you towards positive thought. It also does alleviate tension and stress and reduce anxiety. I have found serenity always available because of my Mark Bowden Hypnotherapy "library". They work and help.

I think it's a very good for a beginner who hasn't done Relaxation or Meditation. However, for someone who has meditation in the past, I would have liked more quiet times, but that may be a personal preference only.

I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for just over 4 years now. I have two spells of depression and been off work with stress three times. I am on a small dose on antidepressants and have completed an week CBT course, 121 counciling, mindfulness classes, bought numerous apps on my phone and had 3 sessions of 121 hypnotherapy. All have been useful in their own way but the bottom line is I still suffer with Anxiety. Out of all the things I have tried, mindfulness and hypnotherapy has worked best for me. I came across this CD whilst searching for guided meditation and thought I would give it a go. The CD arrived within 2 days and a simple plastic sleeve. I have made time to listen to track 2 everyday and I can honestly say I have only had 1 wave of anxiety since I started doing it. I have been so please with this edition I have since purchased the Anxiety one which arrived on Saturday. I'm full of cold and decided to sleep in the spare room so my husband could get a good nights sleep. I took the opportunity to do track 3 of the Anxiety one last night and I feel so good and positive today. Everyone is different and anyone who suffers from stress and anxiety I would recommend to give it a go and what have you got to loose. I will be buying more! Xx

Delivered very promptly, also had 2 downloads on how to use the cd's effectively. I had been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress and prescribed antidepressants to deal with this. I read the information leaflet with the pills and did some on line research and found that a lot of people were having terrible side effects when they started to take the tablets and then worse ones trying to come off!! I decided to try hypnosis and see if that worked and it did. The first night I slept for 7 hours straight which had been unheard of and now almost a month later my outlook on the world is a lot more positive, I feel relaxed and am sleeping well. All in all its the best money I have ever spent and better still only positive side effects.Thank you Mark you really have changed my life.

These cds are good they really do work they relax me when I am trying to go of to sleep at night I have trouble normallyDropping of to sleep

I have only listened to the cd 3 nights so a little early to tell as the introduction suggests regular use for best results. I have however noticed that I am dropping off to sleep before the cd ends and seem to wake when mark bowdens voice changes to bring you back out of trance . I believe it is having some effect and would be tempted to purchase one of his other hypnosis CDs..

This is an excellent relaxation cd and it really works! Mark has a soothing voice that is easy to listen to and to follow. I would certainly recommend this cd to anyone who needs some help in order to relax. Mark has also sent out a two part guide to using the cd which is very informative and easy to understand. Don't hesitate, just buy it!
