Rating:5 A Wonderful, Relaxing Gift |
| I was given this CD as a gift and it certainly has been one. Living a hectic life in a big city leaves me drained and stressed out. I was looking for a tape that would help me to meditate, though I wasn't quite sure what that meant. Melissa Rose's calm reassuring voice just eases you immediately into this meditation thing. You can really feel yourself relax and your frantic brain calm. I definitely felt calmer and more rejuvented after listening and also more confident about dealing with life's dodgier side. I try to listen to it a couple times a week. If you already meditate or have been wanting too, but like me weren't sure what to expect...try this one!!! |

Rating:5 Relaxed & energized... |
| ...That's how I feel whenever I'm through listening to this cd. First Melissa Rose's voice guides your body and mind to a relaxed state. She tries to access a place inside the mind where you are happy and free using guided visualizations and calming music (I love the music, it is not at all annoying). The affirmations along the way are nice as well. In situations I usually feel uncomfortable in, I notice myself relaxing more. I can hear the little voice in the back of my head referring to the affirmations on this cd, instead of hearing the negative things I used to tell myself... Kind of strange, but in a good way. I have to say I'm pleased with this cd. |

Rating:5 Good for Relaxing, Motivating, and Building Confidence |
| I bought this CD about a year ago and recommended it to my friends since. I like the first part because it gives the theory behind the guided imagery and some good things to do to support your goals. I like the second part (the guided imagery) because it is very effective in helping me relax. I listen with earphones as I ride to and from work - someone else is driving, of course. The guided imagery uses allegorical images to remove the effects of self-doubt and to help the listener identify his/her higher self without explicitly saying that. I recommend that a few grammatically incorrect remarks be removed the next time this CD gets mass produced. It doesn't take away from the effect of the CD, but also doesn't reflect well on its professional quality. I recommend this CD to all interested in moving forward toward their goals. |

Rating:5 Excellent!!!!! |
| I loved this self hypnosis cd! I have listened to several of these type of cd's and this cd is so much better than anything I have listened to before. Ms. Rose's voice was soothing and reassuring. The CD was well produced (the others I have listened to are not nearly as high in quality) . I recommend it highly because it really helped me focus on my goals. I can't explain why, but I feel so good after I listen to the cd that I feel motivated and inspired. |

Rating:5 Didn't work for me, but..... |
| I believe that I wasn't able to enjoy the benefits of the hypnosis journey section of the CD (I tried 6 times) for a few reasons. I have done PLENTY of introspection and I have my personal problems well defined in my head. I also have quite a lot of pain inside. It was too difficult for me to imagine a light flowing through my body and making my issues melt away as the author suggests. However, for the person who maybe hasn't had the time for extensive introspection and who knows they feel bad about some things, but hasn't considered them in great detail, I believe based on the reviews of this CD, that the hypnosis journey could be very healing (so please dont let my review discourage you!). I did benefit from the first part of the CD where the author discusses for example, the connection between the mind and subconscious mind, and how to put them in harmony to overcome obstacles. If you have no idea what I have just said, you should probably just buy the CD. |

Rating:5 Need Say No More |
| Let me just get to the point, it's simple, "IT WORKS." I was experiencing the worst time of my life, luckily I bought this rare item (which took 2-3 weeks to arrive). I'm not sure if it's the hypnosis that gets me or that ideas that Rose suggests, but I did get better. I still listen to it from time to time when I'm struggling. The major difference that I can feel is that bad thoughts don't stay in my head, and somehow they are blocked quickly so I just leave them alone and not keep thinking about them over and over (which is quite common for people with minor stress/depression problems). I've spent a bunch of money on stuff like this, and this is the few that actually works. Highly recommended. |

Rating:5 Wonderful journey |
| I adore this tape! I have tried several self-hypnosis tapes and enjoyed them, but Overcoming Obstacles is much more - it is a wonderful trip on how to envision yourself as the future person you know you could be - how sweet is that!! The first time I listened to it I was fully aware of all of the words and conciously participated in envisioning this wonderfully new creative "me". Yet in successive meditations, I go under quite deeply and fade in and out and that is a wonderful feeling. I am eager to see how this new creative me will emerge - it is wonderful anticipation. Thank you Melissa Rose!! |
