Affordable Hypnosis MP3 Downloads Bring Hypnosis Into Your Home

As a professional hypnotherapist helping many people with a variety of problems, I recognize that not everyone can afford one-to-one help.

To make hypnosis affordable and accessible to everyone, Hypnosis Downloads produce an extensive list of Download hypnosis MP3s which you can listen to on your iPod, your Smart phone, your computer or burn to a CD.  You then have them to listen to again and again should you so require, particularly the ones about relaxing or de-stressing.  Just make sure you do not listen to them when driving!

They have over 800 single subjects, covering all sorts of subjects, for example:

Act on Your Ideas
Boredom Eating
Breastfeeding Relaxation
Business Networking Confidence
Chemotherapy Nausea
Relax after work   

Most single subjects cost just few a pounds.  They do supply the MP3s on a CD if you cannot or do not wish to download them.

There are also several packs or programmes, for example: 

10 Steps to Powerful Public Speaking

10 Steps to Overcome Insecurity in Relationships

Complete Stress Management Pack



I really recommend Hypnosis Downloads.  I use some of the MP3s myself eg 10 Min Power Nap and Tinnitus Treatment.  This last one really helps me cope with the constant gushing noise in one ear following surgery.  


All the hypnosis downloads are created by a team of four experienced hypnotherapists, all with a British accent.  They have this to say:


"Not all hypnosis is the same, and some is downright peculiar. But we work hard to ensure our psychology is sensible and research-supported, plus we have 5 main points of difference...
  1. 4 experienced therapy brains work on every download. And we work very hard to ensure every download is a work of art.
  2. We're experienced therapist trainers - formed in 1995 we've trained over 24,000 people since then at face-to-face events.
  3. We've served over 500,000 hypnosis downloads and are the biggest hypnosis provider in the world.
  4. Between our team of 4 hypnotherapists, we have treated over 5,000 patients in personal 1:1 therapy.
  5. Over 600,000 people have taken our email courses since 2000 when we launched our online business."


There are also some subjects for children.  Children really enjoy hypnosis and we usually recommend that they be at least 7 years old so that they can concentrate.

Have a look at the wide variety of MP3s offered by Hypnosis Downloads.  There are bound to be some that catch your eye and I know you will find them useful.  Just being in a wonderfully relaxing hypnotic state is a feeling you will enjoy.

Hypnosis for Exams and Tests Nerves

The exams period is starting and for some that means nerves, worry, disturbed sleep and eating patterns. If your nerves get the better of you and anxiety takes over, you may actually sit down and find your mind goes blank. You know you know the answer but the anxiety is causing a cloud making it difficult or even impossible to recall. The more you “try” to remember, the more anxiety you suffer.

But it does not have to be this way.

There is a well-known phenomenon in psychology - known as state-dependent memory. The state you are in determines what you can remember. If you are in a very different state to when you learned, it is hard to recall things.

If you are very anxious, your brain is simply in the wrong state for thinking!
Hypnosis helps by putting you in the right ‘state’ to learn and teaching you how to recall that state when the exam is about to begin.

In hypnotic trance, many situations seem different somehow. Things that were causing fear or phobic response lose their hold. Situations which caused panic such as speaking in public, attending interviews, giving important sales presentations all seem, well easier. By learning to relax at a very deep mental and physical level, the unconscious mind learns a new way to respond, a new behaviour in response to a trigger. It is the same with looking at exams. It is all too easy to say, “Don’t worry, you’ll do fine” to someone who is anxious. Consciously, we might know we have the ability but it is the unconscious which is sending negative signals. All permanent change has to happen at the unconscious level and that is where hypnosis beats visualizations, affirmations and lots of other techniques. By quickly accessing the unconscious mind, hypnosis brings the desired result.

Mental rehearsal in hypnotic trance of an exam, a test, an interview, giving a presentation or a speech just makes the event seem more manageable without any need for anxiety. Of course, a few butterflies in the stomach or positive stress can actually improve the performance.

Anyone with an IQ over 70 can be hypnotized and children over the age of 7 respond very well to the whole world of imagery and relaxation.

An 11 year old boy came to see me who was under a lot of pressure at one of England’s top public schools where the fees cost many thousands of pounds per year. He was failing in many subjects yet his parents knew he could achieve so much more. He sat in my “magic chair”, listened to my description of a visual journey and in a relaxed state, overcame the exams anxiety.

Last year an 18 year old girl came to see me with restless fidgeting, stress, sleeping and eating disorders, severe anxiety over her upcoming exams and to top it all, she was cutting herself: self-mutilation. This was quite a package of problems but after only three sessions, she sat calmly still, she was sleeping and eating as normal, the self-cutting had stopped and she coped very well with her exams. She passed every subject with even higher grades than her teachers had predicted.

Hypnosis helps people to be calm about exams but also tests such as driving tests and oral interviews.

Remember, “the past does not equal the future”. Just because you have suffered from anxiety in the past does not mean you have to do so in the future. Ask my clients who have overcome severe fear of flying! It is a fairly quick process to reverse the years of negative conditioning and expectation with a positive, calm approach.
