The guided meditation tapes are available in some stores, via mail order and here on the web at Soul Journeys . The hypnosis tapes are specially made for the individual ordering them, and his or her unique situation. I'll give you more information on ordering those a little later. The conscious mind is aware of, but generally acquiescent to, the suggestions being given. The subject has the capability and right to reject any suggestion and is instructed in this.
Subjects have the ability and right to open their eyes and wake up during any stage of hypnosis.
The more the subject is able to relax and participate, the more benefits he or she receives. The subject is aware of and able to recall everything that happens during a session. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, the hypnotist is simply the facilitator. There is no danger in being left in an hypnotic state. If something happened to the tape during the session, you would either wake yourself up immediately, or go into a natural sleep and, depending on how tired you were, you would wake up when you were rested.
