Stress Center Peer Support

Has anyone ever used a subliminal CD designed to improve self-esteem? It seems like it'd be something I could listen to in the car driving to work. If so, can you recommend any specific ones? Thanks.

I have. I also use a lot of Louise Hay's books and affirmations. I had a lot of trouble this summer and I finally just decided one day to start going to a 30 - 40 minute walk everyday. While I am walking I say to myself the positive affirmations from her book..."you can heal your life". I love them and am feeling much better. It took a couple of weeks but all of sudden one morning when I came back from my walk, I realized how beautiful the flowers looked in our backyard. I had been taking care of them all summer but was lost in my own little world. It seemed like a miracle. I also started taking some liquid vitamins which seemed to work much better than pills. It was a long, long summer. While I have suffered with anxiety and some depression, I have never felt this bad. I am glad it's gone and I am going to keep up my exercise program and positive thinking plus I still do go through Lucinda's program too.

There have been a lot of recommendations for different kinds of CDs here including the subliminal ones. I can't remember all of them, but you could try searching some of the older posts. Someone on here a long time ago had used a subliminal tape for self esteem and said it worked very well. It may have been by Shad Helmstetter PHD.????

I'd be interested in those subliminal CD's myself. If anyone knows the name and where I could get them it would be great!!

I haven't used subliminal, but I have used guided imagery, which is sort of the same thing except you hear the message. I'm told it works the same way, but I don't really know as I haven't used the subliminal. I get my guided imagery from <A HREF="http://www.healthjourneys.com" TARGET=_blank>www.healthjourneys.com</A> and they also have subliminal there too. If I ever do use subliminal, I would trust this site. You can request their catalog, it's very helpful to see all of their products. I have used "Relieve Stress" and "Healthful Sleep", both by Beleruth Naparstek. There is a portion on the "Relieve Stress" cd that is positive affirmations. All the portions of this cd are extremely helpful.

Good luck,
Eileen

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">I use them for my children. But, they tell you not to listen to them while driving. At least on the ones i have. They worked very well with my girls. Hope this helps, Kitten</span>

Hi Kitten,

Would you mind sharing what cd's you have for your children?

Thanks so much,
Eileen
