This is a
self-development book for self-growth
What I like
the most in this book is the intention to help people clean their minds and
improve their quality of living.
The book
contains some important principles of Eastern philosophy – “The thoughts
that pass through our minds are responsible for everything that happens in our
lives because as human beings we act on our thoughts.”
The
self-hypnosis technique in the book begins with closing your eyes and
concentrating on breathing – the same as in any meditation technique, but
Josephine Spire empowers it by the verbalization, i.e. scripts, written
specifically for a certain problem. All scripts are very powerful, and some of
them contain highly spiritual principles such as forgiveness.
However,
there is space for improvement as well:
1. It would be useful for readers to have the statistical data about
people’s recovery from addictions by hypnosis and/or self-hypnosis.
2. Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t find practical advice about how to
read the “self-hypnosis” text. Definitely, you can’t read it if your eyes are
closed and you are concentrating on breathing. It might be useful to provide a
link to the professionally read script online or to give a useful piece of
advice regarding this. For example, download the voice recorder to your
smartphone (if you don’t have one already); choose a peaceful moment for
recording (maybe a certain day of the week or time of day); read it for the
first time without recording, just listening to your own voice, etc.
