<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">There will be a few different types of files.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">1- Studio Hypnosis &amp; Self Hypnosis Mp3s- These are high quality recordings done in a studio setting. The voice file is recorded alone &amp; then added to the music to make it audiophile perfect. The voice has been edited to make sure all extraneous noise or distractions are taken out. They also have the highest quality bitrate of the Binaural Drones which make them much more effective.<br />
</span><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><br />
2- Recorded Hypnotherapy Session- This is a live session that I have recorded. This means it&#8217;s lower audio quality as it was recorded with the music &amp; voice in one file. Still very effective but not as immersive or as expensive as the Studio files.<br />
</span><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><br />
3- Guided Meditation- These are all high quality files that were recorded in the same matter of the Studio Hypnosis files. These are very powerful with the Binaural Drones &amp; the voice being edited makes it completely saturate the mind with relaxation!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">To purchase just click the &#8220;Add to cart&#8221; button &amp; a shopping cart will pop up. After you transaction goes through an email with the link for download will be sent to you. It takes less then a minute to order.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">For a free Guided Meditation fill out the form below &amp; a link for a high quality mp3 will be sent to you for download.</span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[[ March 12, 2010; 8:00 pm to 9:17 pm. ] March's Guided Meditation focus will be on using the visualizations of ""going up or floating away". Most times we use going down, ex. counting down, stairs down, going deeper, etc. Going up or floating away in meditation can bring on feelings of bliss, euphoria, drug like highs, some feel like they leave their bodies, others say they encounter spirituality in different forms of people or iconography (a scientific way to say spirit guides, god, dead wise ones, etc.) The floating can also make you feel more creative, clear, &#038; energized more then other techniques as it keeps your mind in a situation that it has not ever experienced. This meditation method is also great for those people that may find going down scary or anxiety causing. Remember no method or mediation technique works for everyone. Trying different and varied meditations will not only expand your mind but will show you what works best in your own meditation practice. [...]]]></description>
