Hypnotherapy & Meditation MP3 & eBook Collection (6 Titles & 2 eBooks)

Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness. There are arguments for and against it being a ‘special’ state but having hypnotized thousands of people in one to one situations I know this ‘special’ state exists. It is true that suggestions can be given and acted upon in normal waking consciousness but suggestions are far more effective when delivered to a person in an altered state brought on by a hypnotic induction.

People sometimes shy away from hypnosis but often this is because they misunderstand what it actually is. Much of the misunderstanding of hypnosis comes from stage shows and the way that it is portrayed in the media. Stories about hypnosis only tend to make the news if there is a problem or if it is misused.

In reality hypnosis works very simply. In a professional one to one situation hypnosis is achieved by using various techniques to guide the client in to deeper levels of relaxation. It is often a gentle progression from waking consciousness into a deep level of mental and physical relaxation, rather than a flashy click of the fingers that you might see on TV or in stage shows.

When you are in a hypnotic state you will still be aware of your surroundings even as you drift into deeper states. It can sometimes feel as though very little is happening and that you can open your eyes at any time and be wide-awake. This is because being under hypnosis doesn’t feel unusual. It doesn’t create a special feeling and so people often don’t realize when they are under hypnosis.

Being in an altered state of consciousness or in a hypnotic trance is actually something you will experience naturally many times in your life. For example, just before you fall asleep each night and before you are fully awake in the morning you are in a trance state that everyone on the planet experiences. These morning and evening trance states are called the hypnogogic and hypnopompic states.

Daydreaming is another naturally occurring trance state that is familiar to all of us and one that is similar to being in a light state of hypnosis. When you are in a deep level of mental and physical relaxation you become receptive to suggestions and accepting suggestions is the key to using hypnosis as a therapeutic tool. A post hypnotic suggestion is a suggestion given that will be acted upon at a later time. For example if a post-hypnotic suggestion is given that “as soon as your head touches the pillow each night, you will find it easy to go into a deep relaxing sleep.” When a suggestion like this is accepted by your unconscious mind the next time you go to bed and your head touches the pillow you will indeed find it easy to go to sleep.

We spend most of our time in our conscious thoughts and only sporadically tap into our unconscious mind when we daydream or get creative ideas. The only other time we spend in our unconscious thoughts is when we are sleeping, when our conscious mind has switched off. Learning to connect with your deep unconscious mind through hypnosis can help you in so many different ways to achieve goals, find your creativity, or overcome difficulties.

Do NOT listen while driving or operating machinery.

If you suffer with serious depression or epilepsy please consult your doctor before using the hypnosis and meditation recordings.

Glenn's advice on people with epilepsy and depression using his recordings:

"We have had many customers with epilepsy and depression who have used my hypnosis audios with only positive results. I know that hypnotic videos can cause problems as strobe effects can trigger epilepsy attacks, but to the best of my knowledge hypnosis/meditation audios are not a problem. With my audios you are guided into a deeply relaxed state using gentle suggestion techniques, which is unlikely to have any adverse effect if you suffer with epilepsy or depression. However I would still consult your doctor for expert advice as there are different types of epilepsy and depression and I don't know how serious issues may be affected by hypnosis.

Some further information on epilepsy from Dr Adam Löfving who is a GP and Vice President of the Swedish Society of Clinical Hypnosis. Dr Löfving is also a long term user of Glenn's recordings:

"It depends a bit on what type of epilepsi the person has (and her age) but as a general rule it is Ok to hypnotize people that have epilepsi as long as the relaxation is slow and not "full" hypnosis the first time. In my experience if you take them to quickly down that they can react. Also if you lead the to a place/world with too much to see/feel/hear they can also react. All the best!" Adam Löfving

With this in mind try one of Glenn's more gentle non visual recordings like Deep Sleep, Instant sleep or Relax & sleep well.

The recordings work in varying degrees and will be different for each individual. It is impossible to give an estimated time, but after a few listens you should begin to notice some positive changes. Sometimes the positive changes can be instant and dramatic. For other people it can be a gradual, subtle progression into a new pattern of behaviour over time.

You can listen to any title as often as you like and it is said that 21 days is an ideal length of time to change a pattern of behaviour. The key to absorbing hypnotic suggestion is compounding; the more you hear the suggestion the quicker your unconscious mind gets the message. You will then respond to the suggestion automatically in your every day life.

So it is best to listen to the recording on a daily basis initially, and continue until you have reached your goal or overcome the problem. You may even choose to continue listening indefinitely. With the Weight Loss title for example, you can continue to use the recording even after you reach your target weight, as it will reinforce your determination to remain in control of your weight and keep you focused.

Once you have bought your title please feel free to email or write to us with details of your progress as we are always striving to improve the series where possible and your comments are valued.

On each of Glenn's recordings you will be guided into a state of complete mental and physical relaxation using the latest hypnotherapy techniques and soothing background sounds. These sounds are recorded in specific musical keys and frequencies which deepen the relaxation effect. There are also a number of 60 beats-per-minute sound effects that help to synchronise the left and right hemispheres of the brain, which in turn creates an extremely receptive learning state.

Once you are in this optimum learning state, you are you are giving a number of post hypnotic suggestions relating to the title of the recording. You are also instructed to repeat carefully worded affirmations. These affirmations are profoundly hypnotic and soothing, allowing you to absorb the phrases on a very deep level which helps to create new patterns of behaviour.

Some of Glenn’s recordings also include ‘pink noise’ which is a natural sound similar to waves. The low frequencies (between 6 & 10hz) emitted by ‘pink noise’ sounds synchronise with brainwaves and guide you into a mentally relaxed and creative state. 

Sometimes emotions can surface but this is often a good thing as it can be a part of the clearing process.

At the end of the recordings, you will be gently brought back to full waking consciousness with a combination of suggestion and music. There are a number of positive subliminal messages embedded in the fade out music which maximise the benefits. Some of the newer recordings also offer an alternative ‘go to sleep’ endings which are ideal for use at bedtime.

It is probably best to listen to one recording at a time to allow your mind to focus on one goal. However, some recordings will work well with others as the issues are closely related.

For example, Build Your Self-Esteem will work fine in conjunction with the Learn How To Think Positively, Develop Your Self-Confidence, or even Lose Weight Now! However, we would not advise listening to Stop Smoking Forever and Lose Weight Now together as both are separate goals that need your full attention.

As for time span, it really depends on how you feel after listening to the recordings for some time.  For example, if after listening to Lose Weight Now for two months you feel you have conquered the problem, then you can move on to another goal. However, a top up listen every now and again is a good idea!

If after this time you are still struggling with your problem, then continue working with the recording and also perhaps seek additional one to one help from a good therapist.

Solfeggio Meditations

Please note that the Solfeggio meditations by Glenn Harrold & Ali Calderwood are different to our other titles. Each of the Solfeggio recordings must be used for 21 days alone initially without mixing in any of the other Solfeggio recordings. This is because these recordings work on a very deep level and this gives times for anything to be released before moving on another to another frequency. Sometimes the user may feel that they wish to continue for more than 21 days. This only applies to the Solfeggio range and if you wish you can use Glenns other titles whilst listening to the Solfeggio recordings.

If you fall asleep listening to the recording but you still hear the count up at the end of the track, you have probably been in a deep trance throughout. In this state you will still be absorbing all the suggestions on an unconscious level.

If you don't hear the count up at the end you have probably drifted into a deep sleep at some point. In this case you will probably only absorb the suggestions to the point where you went into a deeper sleep. If this is the case we suggest you listen at a time when you are not tired.
