You Are the Placebo Meditation 1 - Revised Edition

From the criticisms in other reviews, I would like to make 2 comments. One, the use of the word "space" is intentionally repetitive; it's a technique to get you out of beta and into alpha and theta. Two, the author's voice is just his voice -- it may, in fact, be a bit nasal in tone, and I did notice it the first time I listened to the CD, but I don't think it should be that difficult just to accept that it is what it is and move on. Personally, I find the CD to be very helpful and I have had many a great meditation on it. Judging by REM, I slip into alpha quickly, and later lose all sense of my body, which I believe indicates the likelihood of theta. I also believe that it is helping me -- my autoimmune symptoms sometimes improve right during the meditation and the effects seem to last beyond the session as well. Even when I don't have the greatest session, I still come out of it in a state of deep relaxation.

I have done many kinds of meditation before trying this one and found moving into an alpha state was relatively easy almost as soon as the induction started. For some reason the disc started skipping on my CD player half-way through the actual meditation, so I ended up taking it out, examining the disc for scratches, and then playing it in ITUNES. So I actually did a one hour/thirty minute meditation and did not want to come back to a Beta state afterward, I felt so blissful. I really did have a sense of connecting with pure potential, for lack of a better term, and am guessing I will experience even more benefit with daily practice. I could understand this might feel a little lengthy for someone who is a novice to meditating, but I would definitely recommend giving this a try if you are feeling energetically blocked in any aspect of your life.

This meditation is the newest in a series of meditations by Dr. Joe Dispenza and now Barry Goldstein's music. While Barry Goldstein's music is also present in, 'Blessing of the Energy Centers' and, 'Changing Beliefs and Perceptions', it is clear to me that much work has gone in to improving the facilitation of changing our brain wave states in this one.I have only had these meditations for about a week. The very first time I used this one, I slipped in to a state of all-out, meditative bliss for the first time. Dr. Joe makes each new meditation a clear, 'step-up' in technology therefore experience. I love moving between all of Dr. Joe's mediations but will stay with these new ones for awhile because they are absolutely beautiful for me! <3

I have studied with Dr. Joe for many years. He is the greatest teacher on this subject I know of. I have meditated for some 30 years but Dr. Joe has improvised a new way that is beyond anything I had ever heard of. My wife and I love it so much we have given it to close friends as a gift and they all love it as well. It doesn't matter if you have never meditated before, you will be transformed by Dr. Joe's meditation. Do this for yourself.Also, I highly recommend Dr. Joe's latest and greatest book, "You Are The Placebo". You simply can't lay it down and again, you will be transformed for the rest of your life. You will read life changing material that will never be taught in public schools..

Yes not bad ...but not easy to do ..you have to be very focist ...and I found the time factor... in an already very busy life style is not easy. How ever you mind is an amazing tool for recovery from an illness...and this book will help you a great deal if you are determond.

I liked and believed in what this book - have always. Didn't like the meditation disc because I do my own meditations and just used it to understand the end results. The book was a little long and overloaded with details, but necessary to get some to understand the theory. It works but you need to be dedicated to keep it up and believe in what you are doing.

At first I found Dr. Joe's voice slightly annoying, not what I expected for a meditation, but after a minute I forgot about that as I began to follow the meditation. It's a good meditation that will help you create what you want in your life. I have chronic fatigue and I have used it too increase my energy just to get through some chores. One small step at a time. The second time listening to it his voice didn't bother me.

I got this CD on the recommendation of a friend before I read the book or even knew anything about Joe Dispenza besides having heard his name in other publications about neuroplasticity.Honestly, I got something out of the meditation and realized what Dr. Joe was trying to accomplish even before I bought the book (which I did as soon as I finished the meditation). The music really is a bit too loud compared to the narration, but I didn't find it all that bad even though I'm hearing impaired, wear two hearing aids, and have to listen to audio through a Bluetooth interface hooked into my entertainment system that interfaces with my hearing aids. My main handicap is with word discrimination, especially with background noise present, but even without knowing anything about the meditation script I was able to follow this CD 99% of the time.BUT...at about 49 minutes, the began to become intermittently static-y, and to cut out. This continued episodically until the end of the recording. It was VERY distracting and very disappointing. No apparent flaws or scratches on the physical disc to account for this, so the problem likely occurred when the CD was burned.I'm awaiting a replacement CD from Amazon. I'll update this review after it arrives. Hard to tell if the problem is widespread or not based on the reviews..this is mentioned a couple other times but not that often. However, Dr. Joe does have a lot of hardcore fans who might gloss over something like this, since it doesn't occur throughout the whole CD. Just have to see when my replacement disc arrives. Meantime, I'm posting the 1-star in the hopes that someone from the Dispenza team has seen this and QC will get better.
