If it sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't, that means your CD player is having difficulty reading a burned CD.

Try making a copy of the CD, and using that. Computers have no problems reading burned CDs, but some CD players occasionally have problems with them, especially in the case of cheaper CD players. Burning your new copy at very slow speeds (i.e. 4x) also improves the chances that the CD player will read it properly.

If that doesn't solve your problem, or you don't have access to a CD burner, inform Me by email, and I will send you another copy.

Some people react like that. If you tell them they have to do something, they immediately want to do the opposite. This sort of situation can be fixed, but only with sessions.

One to three sessions is generally sufficient to resolve that.

Read the FAQ and check whether you're getting any of the signs of trance that are listed there. You may be going into a light trance, and simply not realizing it's trance, which makes you doubt it, and wakes you up. Just go along with it, and let it deepen.

Trance is just a state of increased receptivity. It's an amplified version of something totally natural.

You're trying too hard. Have you ever tried to force yourself to fall asleep, because you really needed to go to sleep right away? You probably realized it doesn't work that way. That's because willing is tensing.

The way to fall asleep is just to let it happen. That's because accepting is relaxing. The harder you try, the less it happens. So don't try. Just allow it to happen. You may want to get a session to help you learn to do that.

People generally remember what happened during their trance. In fact, it's normal to remember everything when you've been in light or medium trance. Amnesia only happens in deep trance, and even then not always. It's like dreams. Some people remember them, some don't, and most remember them hazily.

That's because memories are associated with states of consciousness, so you need to go back to that state to remember it fully. The same thing is true with moods, which are slightly different states of wakefullness. When you're upset with someone, you tend to remember all the unpleasant things they did, and when you're happy with them, you tend to remember all the good things they did.

Similarly, when you're awake, you remember the other things you did while awake, and when dreaming, you remember the other things you did while dreaming. But it's harder to remember dreams while awake, and reality while dreaming.

Were they amateurs, or professional hypnotists? Not all hypnotists are equally skilled. With a very receptive subject, very little skill is required to induce trance, and produce spectacular results.

Stage hypnotists have it easier, because they just pick the most receptive subjects, and send the rest back to the audience. Hypnotherapists have to get everyone into trance.

You may notice the word "suggestion". That's all they are, suggestions. No matter how deep in trance you go, you always have the choice to accept or reject any suggestion. There are two things to note here:

1) With each suggestion you choose to accept, you go deeper into trance. Every time you reject a suggestion, you come a bit up out of trance. So if you choose to reject all the suggestions you hear, nothing will happen, and you'll just be wasting your time.

2) Each state of consciousness gives you abilities and limitations. They're just *different* abilities and limitations. So the deeper you go into trance, the more you can accept and successfully carry out unusual suggestions, such as hallucinating something.

Don't try to believe it. That's pretty pointless. Rather, use the fastest trance induction in the world: "Let's pretend...".

As a kid, you did it, playing cow boys and indians, or playing superhero, or star wars, playing house or doctor.

If I tell you, let's pretend you're a cop, and I'm your partner on a stakeout,... you don't say, "hey, I'm not a cop," do you? You just pretend. You start thinking the way you imagine a cop does, and talking the way you think a cop does, acting that way, and even start feeling like a cop, more and more as you play the role. So it's the same here. Just pretend.
