Pre-recorded hypnosis CDs are more versatile and adaptable than you may realize. Most people buy a CD, listen to it a few times and either get the results they want or not.

But it's possible, with a little resourcefulness and creativity to adapt almost any hypnosis CD to any purpose you want.

The following six tips explain a few of the ways you can use any standard hypnosis session from a CD, tape or DVD.

1. Consciously Follow Every Step

This is the most common approach. You purchase a hypnosis CD to help you with a specific problem, and you carefully concentrate on the words and suggestions, doing your best to follow the suggestions.

This is a good, dependable way to get your money's worth from your CD. But there are other, more creative ways to use (and repurpose) an existing hypnosis disk.

For example, you may get better results by paying less attention.....Read more »

Who sets the standards for how you should feel? If someone is rude to you and cuts you off in traffic, are you allowed to still have a great day? If your significant other is unexpectedly laid off, can you continue to believe in the stability of your future finances? Or must you succumb to doubt and worry and allow a growing panic of impending doom to linger in your belly? The truth is you set the standard for how you should feel, and you choose the feelings that you have.

Now you may find that some of your reactions seem almost pre-programmed, beyond your control, and without a doubt you’re right. For our entire lives we’ve been told what to do and how to live, what’s more important and what to avoid, from family, caregivers, teachers, television, the list goes on and on. It is easy to mistake all these incoming signals as rules and guidelines for how to live. They are not. The moment you allow yourself to break free from outside dictates and embrace your own standards for happiness, you are free.....Read more »

Seems like we're constantly struggling for better understanding. Understanding of ourselves, of our problems, of the people around us.

So how's that working out for you?

While it may be comforting to have a better handle on what's going on all about you, and awareness is almost always better than being oblivious, understanding may be seriously overrated as a tool for resolving personal problems.

Here's a little secret about such problems: the cause is almost never where you think it is. I'll say more about that in a second, but here's the point. Knowing more and more about your problem is filling your mind with facts about a symptom rather than a cause. It's massive misdirection which can produce amazingly few results for the energy expended.

On the rare occasion when I hold a teleseminar or workshop, one thing I do NOT do is waste our time together on explanations, facts or theory. Instead I virtually always go straight for direct experience... letting each attendee interact with their own subconscious beliefs and habits of thinking.....Read more »

There are many courses out there that make bold claims that they can help you read at extraordinary speeds. They charge a fortune for online courses and the like. Here you can get this information for free! I am a little sceptical about the gravity of some of these claims, but there is no doubt that you can train yourself to read much faster. I suppose if you trained long and hard enough then you could achieve some pretty amazing stuff, but for most of us that time spent would be counter productive to our original aim – to save time!

There is also a payout to reading fast. The faster you read, the harder it is to comprehend and remember the information. That is why you need to practice comprehending at fast speeds, and learning what to ignore. When a child first learns to read, their comprehension levels are very low. They build this up with practice. You must do the same – at speed! When you are good enough, you can re-read material two or three times and understand it more than reading it at a normal pace, which would take longer.

Here are the tips to help you increase your reading pace.....Read more »
