"Really Steven Gurgevich is why I purchased this audio CD - I had already lost 45 lbs. with a few other self-hypnosis tapes, but I had heard of him and wanted to check out a slightly more "clinical" methodology. I was vaguely familiar with Dr. Weil as the holistic practitioner on various TV programs, but all he really does is support the concept of medical hypnosis to relieve "real" medical problems. Still, the first CD was nice, it puts hypnosis in a positive light. Considering all the nonsense out there about hypnosis, the last thing I wanted was to purchase some kind of mysterious CD!



Gurgevich shows techniques on the 2nd tape on how to use hypnosis - well, actually, as he says, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, so all you have to do is listen to the CD. I want to mention that I don't have any sickness or disease, but that was not my purpose of using the CD - I simply wanted to hear a different way of using hypnosis. And it worked..just like the other hypnosis CD's I had which also had nothing to do with losing weight, I continued to lose more weight on this CD! Now I have purchased many of Gurgevich's CD's including his "Self-Hypnosis Diet" and I learn new ways to go into trance state with each. If you're interested in working with your unconscious mind in order to attain specific goals, then hypnosis can be effective and Gurgevich is excellent at delivering the message!"

Helpful for Tightly Strung People

"I take Zoloft for anxiety and depression. None the less, I still was having trouble trying to relax.



I'm seventy years old, but probably because I eat un-American, and I do exercise regularly, I'm still quite healthy. Still, I couldn't get my monkey brain to shut up and I couldn't make my stiff muscles in my neck and back relax. This is, at times, quite painful. I exhausted myself every day. And I knew that this stress would someday catch up with me.



Professor Gurgevich's relaxation exercises, as conveyed on this CD set, has been of enormous help. No wonder that Dr. Weil endorses his presentation.



I also appreciate the concept presented: "YOUR MIND-BODY CONNECTION." This insight increases motivation and seems to me to be founded on solid ground.



I do not recommend that anyone stop taking antidepressant medication prescribed by their physician, but I do recommend this CD set to anyone needing help relaxing. These exercises work and have no undesirable side effects.

Not my cup of tea

"Generally, I do not find that classical music relaxes me as does Andrew Weil's "Breathing: The Master to Self-Healing". I find that excerpts of complete concerti etc. bothers me; I want to hear the whole piece. For others this cd works extremely well."
