Weight Loss: Brain Wave Subliminal (Brain Sync Subliminal Series)

This is a subliminal reprogramming theta wave program. You can hear the pulsing sound waves mixed with beautiful soft and calming piano music. It is a vibratory CD, lasting one hour. (Theta is an excellent wave vibration to use for meditation. I personally like theta for certain meditation, especially meditation programs designed to implant knowledge.) The CD is by Kelly Howell and released by Brain Sync Corp. The music is by Robert Schwimmer. The cover claims that Kelly Howell is acclaimed for her pioneering work in healing and mind-expansion. A tri-fold paper is included, which explains that Brain Sync generates whole brain synchronization and that listening with stereo headphones adds the ability to balance both brain hemispheres. Although it says you can listen to either of the 2 tracks anywhere, I do NOT recommend you listen in the car, unless you are a passenger and are using headphones. I find these types of programs are optimal for quiet meditation time or bedtime, and optimal with earphones. Depending on your job, you can play the CD at work (but, again, I do not recommend playing it if you are operating machinery. Sometimes these types of programs can make you sleepy.) I also firmly believe that you can play a subliminal CD at bedtime and fall asleep with it. Your subconscious mind should pick up the reprogramming, whether you are asleep or awake. In this CD, you do not hear the 20 subliminal messages with your conscious mind. They are apparently imbedded in the background and are listed in the trifold. Some examples are: "Every cell of my body exudes beauty and health; I relax into my perfect weight; I burn fat; I am active and full of energy." The trifold advertises a couple of other subliminal CDs, if you are interested, including "Stop Smoking and "Deep Sleep". There is even one called "Attract Love" (ooo la la!) The trifold suggests that you listen to the CD every day for 6 weeks. What do I think? I'm so glad that you asked. I am a firm believer in high-quality subliminal programming CDs. I have had a good deal of success with some of them. BUT, I have found you need to listen to them EVERY day for at least 30 days to effect a behavioral change. That's 30 days in a row, folks, so be ready to do that. Would something less work? Well, there are no finites (all things are possible), but, I think probably not. (The company recommends 6 weeks, so I would suggest you go with their recommendation because it is likely based on their studies with this material. ) Is this high-quality? I just started it myself, but I believe so, based on the vibration I feel and my past experience with these types of programs. That's why I am rating it a 5. I will be back with a follow up comment about the end of May 2008 or sooner. By the way, these programs do usually start to work before the 30 day/or 6 week period concludes. You generally notice subtle differences in the way you think/react/behave. That is your indication that the subliminal material is beginning to work on you. But, one more time, in order to set patterns of behavior change in place, you really need to commit to the one hour a day, every day for the full period. If you listen more that that, you will probably achieve results faster. There are no short cuts to losing weight that I am aware of. The "lose weight fast" pills that I have found, and the special diets, are only good for a few pounds, especially as you gets older and your metabolism is less active. Exercise helps a great deal, as does eating less calories and good foods (veggies/fruits/proteins). A CD like this one can help re-program your belief system to do the right things and keep you motivated in the right direction.

So, I bought this but I was very skeptical. Having lost 20 pounds so far, my skepticism has been pretty well put to bed. I was about 100 pounds overweight when I bought it, and I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. For the first couple of weeks, I just listened in the evenings without making many behavioral changes. Then I suddenly found myself motivated to start going to the gym in the morning. I also joined Sparkpeople.com, and have actually found myself able to follow the plan with a strange level of ease. Obviously, I am doing all of this myself, consciously and of my own free will, but this CD is the only x-factor I can identify that seems to make it so much easier and more enjoyable than ever before to adopt healthy habits. I bought the CD about two months ago, and have been engaging in weight-loss behaviors for about six weeks. I have lost 20 pounds so far, and I'm still going strong. I am enjoying the taste of fresh produce in a way that I never have before, not to mention how great it feels to push my body past its comfort zone, and really feel my muscles engage. I am feeling so proud of what my body can do. I take a day off every week, where I eat whatever I want, but even on these days my behavior has been incredibly sane. I might eat a couple of cookies, but never a whole batch. I might go out for a cheeseburger, but I'll still order it with a salad instead of fries. I can't stand soda anymore. It tastes like liquid candy. I really can't think of anything that I am doing differently this time, as opposed to the zillion other times I have tried to lose weight, except for listening to this CD. I listen to the CD every single day - I head to bed an hour early, and listen to the first track while reading for 30 minutes. Then I put the book down, turn out the lights, and listen to the second track. Sometimes I drift off during the second track, but it doesn't seem to matter. I wake up motiviated every day. I cannot recommend this CD enough. My three pieces of advice are: 1)listen every day. If you can't make time to do this, it may not work for you. 2) Give it a couple of weeks to start working before you assess its effectiveness. The messages it is sending are challenging some very ingrained subconscious ideas, and it takes time to change these. 3)Don't expect the CD to magically make weight fall away. You have to engage in the appropriate behaviors. But it will make it easier and more pleasurable to do so, at least in my experience. Good luck, and enjoy!

Don't know if this does help weight loss. The very loud bass him was so annoying that I had to turn off CD. The bass humming began several seconds before the music and continued while music played, focusing my attention on the annoying noise. Not relaxing, just annoying!

It is amazing how powerful and effective this cd is!!!! After the first listen I noticed a HUGE difference right away!(i just played it as background music the first time while reading). After I got through reading I got up to decide what I was going to eat. My mind went through (by habit) all of the different fast food chains around my house. Everytime I would name off a food item to myself (burger, taco's, fries, etc) My mind would just say "no, I don't want that". I couldn't explain why I didn't want the food but I just didn't want it. Additionally, I realized that I just wasn't hungry at all. I couldn't bring myself to eat at all!!! It was so strange because I had forgotten that I had listened to the cd since it was just background noice, but apparently it seeped into my subconscious. I've been so accustomed to just eating out of habit even if I'm not hungry and I saw my weight creeping up, but by no means would I be considered overweight, I was just not where I wanted to be. I was looking for something that I can use as an aide to help me get off the 10-20 pounds that I wanted to loose. I have listened to the cd everyday (about 4 days) since I got it and I kid you NOT, the changes were IMMEDIATE! I have managed to eat just a few small meals a day and I have to FORCE myself to even eat those. I am just NOT hungry! I know that the cd is responsible because the whole week before I started the cd I was eating food like it was going out of style! :) One thing that I can say that I would change is the ability to be able to hear her say the weight loss phrases. I know that she says them below audio level but I personally prefer guided meditations such as her Universal Mind cd. But if its working with me not being able to hear the words then I guess I have no complaints. The most important thing that I can say is that you have to strongly believe that you have the power to change your life's current path. If you go into this with an open mind and you believe with everything in you that you will see a change then you will. I have done extensive research on how the mind works and how the subconscious works so I am a TRUE believer in the way God designed our brains to operate. I highly recommend this cd to anyone that is open-minded and wants to loose wait!

I have been listening to this CD with headphones 2 sometimes 3 times a day while working and then I fall to sleep with it at night. Doing this consistently for the last two months has not helped me loose any weight yet, but I'm still hopeful. Unfortunately, I still have cravings for sweets and fatty foods but I have been drinking much more water lately. I guess that is something, right?! I am going to continue to listen simply because I enjoy the relaxing music but I'm also hoping that some of the subliminal messages sink in also.

I've had a weight problem all my life. I've had some success with private hypnosis treatments and no success with generic hypnosis audios. I came upon this by accident and thought I'd give it a try. I was amazed at the results. The music and waves are quite beautiful and relaxing when I put it on to listen to before going to sleep. All cravings are gone. I've noticed the amount I eat has also decreased. I actually enjoy listening to this every night and don't think I've stayed awake long enough to get to the end. I'm also finding that I'm focusing a little better, getting more accomplished. I am so amazed how well this concept works that I have ordered several other CD's to see how they do. If you only have a few pounds to lose, this may not necessarily help, but it's still worth a try. If you have a major weight problem, this could very well be the way to go. I will be recommending this to my friends, although they are going to have to buy their own copy -- I'm not parting with mine for even a day!

I just did a trial run after receiving recently. I find the strong vibrational background sound distracting and interferes with my ability to relax. The music is also too loud. Prefer a more gentle sound to induce sleep and better absorption of subliminal message. I miss the beginning spoken message used in "The Secret" which I loved. Will continue to see if it grows on me.

I ordered this cd as I thought it may prove helpful to me in getting off the diet merry go round, cure my cravings for white carbs and sugar and help me to get an appropriate weight for my age and height. I have no desire to return to my high school weight of 105, that was over 30 years ago, so at nearly 51, I will be content with being 'good enough' rather than text book perfect BMI. The cd arrived 3 days ago, and I immediately transferred it onto my mp4 so I can listen to it in bed in the morning to start the day right and before sleeping so the subliminal messages get to work during my sleep. I have not overeaten at all since it has arrived. I did have some minor sugar cravings last nite, but was able to fight them off and am feeling quite well today. I have pretty good optomism that this cd may be the answers to my 30 year prayer. Added bonus ! It really helps you to sleep better and encourages very vivid dreams. So far so good, was money worth spending. I have ordered 2 other cds by her as well.

One does not hear Kelly's voice throughout the cd, but she lists on her cover all the affirmations that are used throughout the cd. So, there are hidden messages somewhere on the disc. Music is pleasant, but too early to know whether this cd will work for me.

It didn't help me lose weight but it was relaxing to listen to.

I have no idea yet if it works. I do like Kelly Howell and think her voice is very soothing, however this is just music.

very relaxing and peaceful but not sure it is helping me with my eating habits yet. I've been listening to it off and on for over a month but maybe I'm not listening to it the way I should?

not bad
