Simple Beginner's Book
This is a book with very simple conceptualizations of the human experience.It is an excellent book for enthusiastic young students, although it leaves much to be desired for the experienced practitioner.

Excellent book
This is a well rounded selection. It includes a variety of approaches, not leaning in a particular direction. It is best enjoyed with, or following, the authors' sequel book, Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis ... Read more

attractive book
This book offers a nice treatment of the history of hypnosis for the lay person (complete with funny quips and 'hypnosis-gone-wrong' stories), along with information on its many modern day uses including forensic, sports, childbirth, stage, and medical.The book has lots of full color fun illustrations and photos.It is NOT a book for the professional (or serious student for that matter), however, would be appropriate for their clients.Recommended for those interested in the topic of hypnosis - a fun and easy read. ...

Top Secrets of Self-Hypnosis
This was the first book I bought on this suject and it is great. Real easy to understand. This is the perfect book if you are just starting to get into this. It teaches almost everything you would want to learn. I enjoyedthis book a lot. You can master self-hypnosis producing the self-madeaudiocassetes and go on to use it to increase self-confidence, improvememory, cure insomnia, quit smoking, lose weight, break bad habits,remember dreams, enhance sexual performance, and more. Everything is verysimple. Easy-to-follow tips show exactly how to achieve whatever goals aredesired. The only problem with this book -- where are the secrets ofself-hypnosis?

Good book for beginner
As a novice, I found this a very interesting and informative writing. I have been able to use this info for age regression. It has given me a more positive outlook, by giving me a tool to research myself.Thanks ... Read more

I wish the author would write more books!
As a practitioner of the Chinese internal arts, meditation, etc. this book really resonated with me.Too many books on this subject are either intellectual psycho-babble, new age "theories" or worse yet don't give enough guidance to deal with the real issues you may encounter.
Not about meditation or spirtuality at all
It's a very basic, yet clear book on hypnosis, but it is not about reaching anything higher than the usual self-improvement goals

I Envy Lee Pulos
When I pulled several hypnosis books off the library shelf to review, "Beyond Hypnosis" did not quite appeal to me.The cover was unattractive and quite plain.However, an inner-awareness told me to check out the book and to read it.I did so.Read more

A Great Reference Book
This book is comprehensive, logically organized and, best of all, well-written. As a new hypnotherapist I've waded through dozens of books on the subject and this book is the best I've encountered so far. It will be my first resource. Ms. LaBay uses a client centered approach and provides many strategies in part 2 that allow the hypnotherapist to tailor the session to the unique needs of the client.
Hypnosis or NLP
I don't know if I'm outdated or what, but the books coming out now are more of NLP advertising than good old hypnosis.I found this book to be the same.Alot of information about other techniques rather than hypnosis. The hypnosis stuff is there but limited. Hypnotherapy - A Client-Centered Approach
When I first studied for my hypnotherapists license several years ago the field was very practitioner driven - you took the client where you wanted them to go.Ms. LaBay's book turns this process around 180 degrees and instructs the reader how to create a client-driven session.This produces remarkable results because the client takes themselves to precisely where they need to go to deal with their issue.Read more

Excellent Introduction to Transpersonal Healing Possibilites
Dr. Leskowitz has collected a group of articulate and credible sharings from experienced practitioners and researchers in the field of consciousness exploration, including the good doctor himself! They each present theoretical basis and actual case history application of a variety of healing possibilities from regression therapy to spirit release to yoga and energy work. Very inspiring! Future classic in the Transpersonal field
Transpersonal Hypnosis is a marvelous book.I'm a Trainer for the Nat. Assoc. of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists so when I came across it 2001, I wrote a glowing review of it in our magazine, The Bridge.Since that time I have continued to reference it in my classes and recommend it to colleagues. Transpersonal Hypnosis does an admirable job of covering a broad range of transpersonal topics from energy healing to yoga to past life regression.I personally learned a great deal from Dr. Leskowitz' chapter on Franz Mesmer and how Mesmer's approach to healing was actually closer to energetic healing than what is practiced in modern clinical hypnosis.Stanley Krippner's chapter on altered states healing in tribal cultures was very impressive in the scope of its research and the sensitivity of its treatment of the subject.This is a book that spiritually oriented therapists will turn to time and again.Ground breaking.

an excellent, valuable book
Dr. Leskovitz's excellent book examines and presents information on the increasing interest among therapists (and all those with spiritual leanings) in the use of Transpersonal ideas and theories of human energy systems. It treats consciousness as a fundamental quality of reality: a unifying phenomenon that is not merely a by-product of brain activity. It discusses hypnosis as a means to accessing these transpersonal, meta-ego states of being, and how to develop therapeutic pathways that incorporate these. This book very clearly, and without any use of pompous language, transcends the materialistic, ego-centered focus that dominates the present paradigm ruling the ideas of reality. It will be of immense value to those who are looking to break out of the dull and the mechanical; to move forward and upward into infinitely more subtle realms of consciousness and into the very positive, authentic experiences that such will invite into life. It is of interest not only to therapists, but to all who seek meaning above and beyond the mundane. The ideas and methods here described may be the road less traveled at the moment, but they could become the main highway,as human awareness slowly rises (if it is permitted to do so in our chaotic world) to its true potential. ...
