To get tthe best results using a self-hypnosis recording do not listen intently to the recording. If you are listening to every word you are using your conscious mind. By enjoying the background music and the lovely peaceful feeling of being totally relaxed your un-conscious mind opens and that is when the magic happens.
I use metaphors (the language of the un-conscious) which are stories inside a story so trying to analyse every word won't get you the best outcome.
So just relax and let the magic take place.
Yours in positive change.
