Why pay when you can go free?

Some of you may be wondering why I have a download site (www.gift4life.com) where you have to pay for the product when other sites will give you a recording for free.

Well it is an old adage but still a useful one, you get what you pay for. I took the trouble this week to check out a couple of recordings from so-called 'free' sites. (Actually they normally make their money from hosting Google adverts.)

Well the recording quality was OK, that is to say the sound quality was acceptable, although the mix gradually became unbearable with the speakers voice buried right between my ears. It seems that this was in mono whilst the rest of the track was clearly stereo. After a while of listening on headphones this became too painful to continue with.

Some people clearly find the tracks of value and I would have to admit that if you have no money to spend then they are probably better than nothing. However spend a relatively small amount of money on a paid for product and it seems likely that you will get much better results. The mix is generally better and the overall sound package much more polished.

Hypnosis recordings become most effective through repeated use, if you can only stand to use a recording once it is unlikely to be that catalyst for change that you had hoped for.

In the end you do it seems get what you pay for.

Supersize vs Superskinny

Those of you in the UK may well have seen the recent Channel 4 program Supersize Vs Superskinny.

The basic idea is that you take two people, one very under weight and one very over weight, put them in the same house for 5 days and have them eat what the other person normally eats.

The aim being to get each to understand their own eating issues. Other aspects of the program focus on trying out weight loss methods outside of the normal diet only approach. This week the reporter for this segment, Anna Richardson, tried out hypnosis. I give a full explanation of what went on in my video but suffice to say that it worked and as well as losing 3lbs in weight that week she also cleared all the fatty foods from her cupboard.

The surprise for me was not the program itself but the fact that in the two days following I had eight calls, all for weight loss. It just goes to show the power of television for both good and bad.

Self Hypnosis seminar on 23rd February 2008

It has been a while since I lasted posted here but I have some great news for some of you!

On Saturday 23rd February 2008 I will be hosting a 3 hour self hypnosis seminar in Yeovil, Somerset.

This event follows on a from a very successful seminar just a few weeks ago. If you have been looking for the reasons why you block change in our life even though you really want it to happen then this event is for you.

Whether you want to:

  • Let go old an old habit
  • Stop smoking
  • Lose weight
  • Remember more of your studies
  • Let a fear or phobia go
  • Or are just plain curious about what hypnosis can do then this seminar is for you.

Follow this link for full details and some very positive comments from previous attendees.

Take action on this one now though as the spaces are very limited, there will be no more than 8 people attending so you will get great personal attention from me so that I can answer any questions you may have about the use of hypnosis and affirmations.

Here is that link again with all the booking details.

Best Wishes

John
PS I nearly forgot, everyone who attends will get my Self Hypnosis handbook and a CD copy of 'Inner Strength' a personal development audio that normally retails for £18.95 on its own. Book up now, I'm not sure when I'll be hosting the next seminar.
