Best Hypnosis CD
As the creator of many hypnosis audio programs, people ask me if there is one that is the best hypnosis CD or are they all the same. The quality of the recording and the content varies so much that there isn't one single CD that is the best hypnosis CD but some are surely better than others. Here are a few reasons why they can differ.
Content - what most people do not realize, even those who create hypnosis audio programs, is that the way the words are put together can have impact on the listener in a positive way and even in a negative way. The intention of the person recording the CD I'm sure is for the best but not all people who record hypnosis CDs are trained as well as others and some never had good training. There are some suggestions on hypnosis CDs that are weak in the way of directing change, some very powerful and some miss completely and cause adverse reactions.
I recall a story of a woman who recorded what proved not to be the best hypnosis CD. She created a hypnosis CD self help for weight loss and said "When you see food you will see maggots all over on the food." Not all people respond the same but one person was reported to have responded very strongly to this and started not eating because of the image that came to mind when she saw food. This is just an example of how improper sentence structure or use of words can cause a problem.
Recording Quality - The biggest mistake people make when recording hypnosis CDs is to use inferior recording equipment and techniques or a non-conducive environment. Can you imagine being deeply relaxed and in the background you hear a car horn or plane fly by. This would cause an interruption in your relaxed state. I have heard CDs where the echo or reverb was so overused it sounded like the person was speaking in a canyon. This causes irritation rather than relaxed comfort. There can also be the problem of the volume being too low or mixed too high causing not enough signal to the sound or distortion. This would not help rate as the best hypnosis CD.
The Hypnotic Voice - Nothing personally irritates me more than people who record hypnosis CDs and change their speaking voice to be "hypnotic." The simple approach is to speak calmly in your own voice. Whether you are a woman or man, have a higher voice or deeper, the best possible approach is to speak as you in a calm manner on the CD. It's sounds like a simple thing but you'd be surprised what you can hear if you listen to enough hypnosis CDs.
So there may not be one best hypnosis CD for it depends on what the person is looking to accomplish and what they are more personally comfortable with. Listen to audio samples on websites if you can to give you an idea if this would be the best hypnosis CD for you.
