Available on virtually any subject, custom recordings are the most effective solution when a personal visit is not practical. Personalized recordings are frequently more effective than the general recordings because they are tailored for your individual needs, desires, and preferences.

My uniquely intuitive approach to tailoring sessions or custom recordings is far more effective than simply trying to apply "accepted" practices to all situations. I find that all individuals are unique, and frequently an original approach is required. Understanding your individualities is often crucial to synthesizing an effective approach. I converse with you (or exchange email) to gain a full understanding of relevant aspects such as:

• Your specific needs and wants. For instance, "I want to quit smoking" is a nice start, but a much more focused - and effective - session can be constructed when I discover why you want to quit, ... what negative aspects of smoking you feel strongly about, ... what aspects of smoking bring or brought you pleasure, ...

• How the general recording worked for you. For example, was the permissive induction effective or would an authoritarian induction (see below) be more effective? Which of the suggestions did you embrace the strongest?

• What are the root causes of the problem? Sometimes it's imperative to discover the deep cause of the situation. Frequently the cause is an imbalance or association with something unrelated. For example, a smoker may have picked up the habit after admiring someone who smoked; an effective recording might hinge on separating the admiration from the smoking. Or a person who grew up hearing "You're fat" manifested it into reality; dismissing this false perception can be the key to success.

• Do you relate better to logic or emotion? Favoring one aspect over the other may improve results.

• Do you find it easier to imagine vivid sights, sounds or sensations of touch? Suggestions are more effective when given in ways that are most readily visualized.

• What are your belief systems as related to the issue? The best approach to the solution sometimes depends on tailoring the solution to harmonize with the philosophies you embrace. My belief system is not imposed on you, the approach I choose is crafted to support your current beliefs. For some a "logical" direct suggestion approach is the best, others will benefit more from a past life regression, others will derive more benefit from a spirit depossession. I am often asked if I believe in Past Life Regressions, to that I respond: "I do not believe in past life regression, I accept it ... it works every time."

Intuition plays a major role in recognizing the relevant focal points for each individual. There is no one set of strategies that works for everyone. Once I gather the information I need to fully understand the situation I can compose an acutely effective recording. Subsequent custom recordings evolve the process further.

Custom recordings are available in three "styles": Sessions, Subliminal and Audible.

The "session-based" styles may be the most familiar to you as hypnosis recordings. They consist of progressive relaxation and appropriate positive left- and right-brain suggestions, followed by guidance back to conscious awareness. There are two induction styles available for custom sessions: Permissive and Authoritarian.

• Permissive Induction - This induction style asks the listener to follow suggestions, it is good for beginners. A permissive induction guides you to slowly and gently sink into hypnosis by gradually releasing your grasp on resistance.

• Authoritarian Induction - This style takes a more assertive stance and commands the listener to relax and follow suggestions. Resistance is melted away until you have no choice but to do what is asked. It is extremely effective in overcoming resistance but is generally inappropriate for those unaccustomed to hypnotic induction.

Subliminal and Audible Styles can help you achieve your desired results quicker than the Session Style alone. They can be used while sleeping or doing other tasks without the need for dedicated time. These styles use repetition to convince the subconscious mind to accept the suggestions. However, a few topics cannot be handled adequately by these styles, this will come out when we discuss your desires.

• Subliminal Style - Suggestions that are inaudible (or barely audible) at the conscious level are concealed by music. Here the suggestions are bypassing the conscious mind and go directly to the subconscious to help it accept the beneficial suggestions quicker. The acceptance of the suggestions is transparent. For best results, play this recording in the background when you work and at times when your concentration is needed elsewhere. Note: these recordings should not be used on people without their awareness and consent.

• Audible Style - Audible suggestions are mixed with background music. The suggestions are perceived at both the conscious and unconscious levels. For best results, let this recording play in the background as you go throughout your day (driving a car, watching TV, washing dishes, during recreation, etc. and - of course - during sleep). This recording can also be used as affirmations that you can repeat to yourself.
