The Best Self Help Audio Recordings
There are a lot of self help audio recordings that promise
to change your life. Can they do that though? Can they radically
alter your experience of life or lead you to better results and
more success? An answer of either yes or no is accurate, depending
on what we mean by the question.
Even the best self help audio is not going to change much
in your life if you don't do anything with what you learn from
it. So in that sense they don't work anymore than a map gets
you to where you are going if you don't have a car or don't know
how to use it. On the other hand, just as a map can make all
the difference when used properly, so can good self help recordings
guide you to achieve whatever is important to you.
Here are some that I have personally used and found worthwhile:
Meditation CDs
Brainwave entrainment recordings are meant to put you into
an altered state. Usually(but not always) this means slowing
down your brainwaves into an alpha state or deeper, depending
on what you want to do. It is also claimed that with time and
regular use they will raise your threshold for stress. To be
honest, I have seen no evidence to support that claim, but there
are many people who report this result. In any case, these things
really do make it easy to either relax or meditate.
Recommendation: The
Meditation Program
On the site: Best
Meditation CDs .com you can read my full review of this and
other products.
Affirmation CDs
The idea of listening to recorded affirmations always made
more sense to me than subliminal recordings. At least you are
certain the message is there. Still, I am skeptical about their
real impact. But when we tried an affirmation CD that was supposed
to motivate me, my wife and I got more work done while it was
playing in the background. Anecdotal, but interesting.
Recommendation: Think
Right Now
We have used two now, from Mike Brescia's Think Right Now
products. You get the actual transcript as soon as you order,
so you can start verbal repetitions if you like even before the
CD arrives.
Enlightening CDs
My favorite kind of self help audio recordings are those that
remind me of powerful truths and introduce me to new ideas and
principles that change the way I approach life and think.
Recommendation: Secrets
Of Being Unstoppable
This program set by Guy Finley is one of the most powerful
and life-changing ones I've purchased. Each time I listen I learn
more about the true nature of "self" and "success"
and the ways in which we are mislead by our own minds.
Other Self Help Audio Products
I am not covering self help audio recordings that use subliminal
messages here, because I have not used them and have little faith
in their effectiveness after the research I have done into this
area. I am also uncertain and not very familiar with self hypnosis
recordings, but I have heard more good things about these, and
have seen some research suggesting they may work. If that is
something that interests you, you might want to try Hypnosis
Downloads.
I like the fact that they guarantee their products, and I
notice that when I send people to their site, they come back
for more (I can tell because I get a small commission each time
a purchase is made)
