hypnosis-does it actually work?

[barrymaldon]

I've been looking around on ebay and saw a paul mckenna audio cd Sensational Snooker, i just wondered if anyone had used anything like this, and if it actually worked in any way,
thanks for your time

anything that enhances the positive's you already have can never be a bad thing.

I've just ordered this hypnosis CD. Thought anything's worth a go, as I'm already perfectly aware of the effects of positive thinking, anchors etc.

Will let you know how it goes...

[barrymaldon]

I will proberbly get one, sorting out a new cue first. I'm proberbly going to go to john parris's shop and have a look and either get one when i go or get one ordered (any opinions on john parris cues welcome as they are quite expensive but the pro's seem to use them and i'll get to try before i buy anyway ) as my current cue although being hand made is not that great and is slightly warped.
I have been looking around at hypnosis cd's for snooker and there seem to be about 3 different ones available, would be interesting to see if one works better that the other.

Got a cd cheap on ebay by Dynamic Hypnosis, its about 30 mins long most of the cd dealing with getting you ready for the suggestions for you to be relaxed and realising that you have played the shot many times before, etc. How long is the paul mckenna one or the one from the hypnoshop out of interest?

[caesar]

Similar sort of length, and content I think.
Seem to get best results if you play it when you are falling asleep at night without actually trying to take conscious notice of what is being said.

im going to buy one now, my coach has told me my problem is in my head, the other day i had a 91 in practice, nearly had my first hundred, but in a game i can put 4 balls together. I own a john parris cue and i have got to say i have never had a cue like it before, it is hard to put into words how it feels to play with, but to put it one way, i will never be using another ue again, they are very expensive, and rememebr he charges VAT on top of the cue price, in all my came to 438 - well gonna get this cd, anyone else got one let me know how it goes using it

I've had two different ones (not the McKenna one) and I wasn't very impressed!
I think it might be better to go see someone, they could stop you smoking at the same time!

[Belloz22]

just got my disc today, does make you fell more relax and i reckon it makes you take more of a relaxed view at the game rather than getting tensed up. It said to use it everyday for first two weeks, so il let ya all know how my results go

[Watford]

Which one do you have?
Where did you get it from?
You are feeling sleepy, very sleepy!

[Belloz22]

i brought the Super Snooker one from www.hypnoshop.com - i have tried it out, it does relax you alot especially when playing games. It makes you look at the game from a more relaxed point of view, you feel like you have played every shot in your mind a million times (even though in reality you probably have played the shot a million times lol)

i get pretty moody when playing snooker and have found that this cd has helped me control my emotions, it teached you to breath and relax yourself when playing your shots.

Actually i did fall asleep listening to it today- dont know whether it was because i was bored or it was because i was hypnotised LOL - it said to use it everyday for 2 weeks, il let ya know if my game improves

Anyone else used these cds's before ?

[Watford]

I think I've got this one. I only listened to it once let me know if it works for you I may give it another go!

[Belloz22]

my results after 4 days use: i feel much more relaxed at the table, not so tense, furthermore, im uselly moody and get angry if i miss a shot, but i have found that i am not getting so worked up (this is a big improvement for me) i do get the feeling i am playing the game with a more professional approach - wish i could conclusively say it was due to the disc but cant be certain, but its a good conciedence that these positives have come out in my game the same time ive been using the disc so it cud be the work of the disc - have u been using ur disc?

[missneworleans]

I don't believe in those sort of things, better to learn yourself

[Belloz22]

well, i stopped using the cd for a while, and found my game has deteriated alot - really struggling, gone from making a 91 to struggle to pot anything. I thought to myself it may be because i stopped using the cd, so i started using it again, and i have started playing really well - coincidence? i don't no, maybe it works, maybe i think it is helping me and its making me play better, but im no pessimistic so i believe that cd has helped me
