Self Hypnosis Tape CD or MP3
Hypnotherapists have long given their patients a self hypnosis tape, CD or MP3 recordings to listen to between sessions either as a supplement for treatment or instead of teaching them self hypnosis.
A self hypnosis tape, CD or MP3 should not be seen as a substitute for live, one-to-one hypnosis sessions but on the other hand they enable you to benefit immediately from hypnosis, sometimes just by clicking a few buttons. You can occasionally get considerable benefit, especially from repeated listening. In fact the great advantage of these recordings is that you can enjoy listening to them again and again and the in many cases the hypnotic suggestions will become even more deeply embedded each time.
Insist on hearing an audio sample. There are so many sources of digital self hypnosis media including and still-available the self hypnosis tape. You’d think the days of buying one without having listened to at least a small sample are over – but this is far from the case! Even some of the largest, longest established websites offer no listening facilities.
Make sure you can listen to at least a segment of the recording, or an example of the author’s work regardless of all the hype, advertising rhetoric, and offers of money back guarantees. Otherwise there is a strong risk you will have purchased something unusable.
First notice the quality of the recording. You want to make sure there are no distracting sounds during the pauses and breaks of the actual script. You need to focus only on the words of the hypnotist and not be distracted by any recording ticks or hissing. Beware of the ‘fly-by-night’ self-proclaimed professionals who are just trying to make a buck. They have been known to take an old self hypnosis tape and record that onto a CD or MP3 and offer it as their own work.
First of all, that’s plagiarism but also all tape recordings will inherently have low-level hissing caused from the drag of the tape across the recording head. During the hypnotic trance you will become aware of this sound which will distract you from your goal.
Therefore in choosing a self hypnosis script, make sure it is from an experienced professional who offers sample of their work. It’s true that the older self hypnosis tape is effective but today’s CD’s and MP3’s are much more effective and convenient. Just ensure the digital media is not a recording of a tape.
