"Over the years I have purchased numerous records, tapes and hypnosis aids. Some of them cost in the hundreds of dollars. Most of them at least partially worked. Your tape is different. It is fantastic. I have never seen anything like it. It is the best I have ever seen, bar none."

This is my recorded hypnotic induction talk. Just listen to it and let me take you into the marvelous realm of self-hypnosis. I lead you into a hypnotic state and give suggestions to help you develop progressively deeper states of self-hypnosis.

There is a period—after you've had time to get into a good, receptive state—during which I'm silent so you can give yourself suggestions.

Psychosonic™ Rhythm

You can choose an induction talk with the Psychosonic™ Rhythm in the background, or one without it.

The Psychosonic Rhythm is a pulsating sound designed on the basis of research to assist in hypnotic and self-hypnotic inductions. It helps generate brain waves conducive to hypnosis while masking distracting sounds.

Electronically generated, the rhythm is a "bi-modal, intra-phasic" set of dual rhythms calibrated to dissonate at just the right frequency. (This is not something you particularly need to know—it's just that I don't often get a chance to use words like "dissonate.")

The Psychosonic™ Rhythm is the product of efforts by an acoustics engineer, a couple of sound recording engineers, an electronic wizard, another psychologist in addition to myself, and a recording studio. (Fortunately these were all colleagues of mine who were intrigued by the challenge and who donated their time. Otherwise it would not have happened. The cost would have been prohibitive.)

Some people mistakenly think that listening to an induction talk makes it more difficult to develop self-hypnosis.

Not so! A recorded induction talk, by a professional (that would be me) is the fastest way to learn and develop the skill of  self-hypnosis.

  • You get started right away on the road to achievement and a more rapid mastery of self-hypnosis.
  • You have the benefit of expert guidance during your practice.  Practice makes permanent, not perfect—so it pays to do it right when you practice.
  • You get more self-reliant as your skill develops. You can more quickly reach deeper levels of self-hypnosis when you move beyond listening to the recorded induction.

Subliminal Messages

Subliminal messages are words or short phrases embedded in the recording. They are a powerful way to get your subconscious mind to pay attention. They are completely safe because they are not actual "messages" – they don't tell you to do anything.

If you'd like to know more about subliminals you'll find more information here.

My hypnotic inductions are also available on CDs and audio cassette tapes. There is very little difference between the download versions and those on media. For more information about ordering, please see the drop-down boxes on the right side of this page.
