You've tried hypnotherapy and all sorts of counseling and subliminal audios, but nothing works to help boost your flagging self-esteem! I am a former clinical hypnotherapist and stress counselor, my name is Stephen Richards and I am proud to say that I am one of the foremost mind power experts in the world. So when I tell you that hypnosis audios and subliminal messaging are not the answer for curing low self-esteem then it might make you stop and think!

When someone has low self esteem they are unwilling to place themselves in situations that are unfamiliar to them. Thus, they are unlikely to go to a professional and ask for a self-esteem assessment. I even have an on the house test below, a fast way to check your self esteem levels.

In general, we have to put an eye on our thoughts and behavior but there are some symptoms that ring the bell and tell us that we should think about assessing our self-esteem. Amongst some of these assessments are when we feel unwilling to do or carry out some important thing, when we do not find or see a reason for others around us to love us, when we think that our value compared to others is less. If we felt some, or at least one, of these symptoms, we must stop and think about measuring our self-esteem.

There; on the World Wide Web, are numerous types of tests available for anyone to take, but below is a fast and free test. We can find self-esteem tests for children test, women and generally everyone. The free ones give us a score and a brief idea about what we need to boost within ourselves. But this sort of self administered therapy is not the best way to fix self-esteem issues!

Other than those free ones, there are tests on the internet that we need to pay and sign up to take them. Usually they do not only give us a detailed assessment of our self-esteem but they also tell us how to be positive thinkers; they show us how to make a daily affirmation and good kinds of attitudes; they teach us how to develop and improve our self confidence and how to not lose our smile while experiencing new challenges.

Having said this, we can't overlook the importance of seeking professional help or meeting with such a professional on a one on one basis, especially as it applies to some more serious cases. You should seek such help when you believe that a loved one might be having such issues so much so that it has begun to affect him or her adversely.

Here is a completely free 6 question test, just answer 'yes' or 'no', simple as that:

*    Are you relaxed when it comes to you doing new things or meeting with people you   

      haven't met before?
*    Do you feel that you are liked by most people?
*    Do you think you have the respect of your work colleagues?
*    Do you feel cheerful the majority of the time?
*    Do new challenges make you feel excited?
*    Do you value your own belief?

How many times did you answer "Yes"? How many times did you answer "NO"? If you did not score a straight 6 for the "YES" then you have some self-esteem issues! The more you answer "NO" the more issues you have! Sometimes, even if you have answered "YES" to all questions, we need to find out more about self-esteem. However, if your answer to one or more of these questions is a "NO" then sometimes, reading about self esteem and thinking about what we have read can be of help.

What if you answered "NO" to one or more of the questions in the test? Would you like a fast fix for the matter at hand? Surely the answer has to be a resounding "YES"? There is a method that does away with conventional methods and expensive visits to your therapist, a way which counteracts this low self-esteem right from inside of you, and without hypnosis!

I have created many self-help audios and one of the things that struck me was how the sound through headphones was perceived by those with a dominant left-hearing ear. Curative audios sometimes have more of an impact when certain pitches are used to carry the message to the user through earphones. I was pleased that a psychology don did some in-depth research into this, and the findings proved what I have been claiming for some time was true ... that people with a dominant left hand are likely to have a dominant left ear!

The 'Journal of Experimental Psychology' carried findings which revealed how left-handed people deliberate over things quite differently than was first thought. Even down to how a left-handed person makes a choice is all, apparently, because of the use of a particular hand as the dominant one. To date, all of my recent self-help audios carry instructions for left-handers to reverse their stereo headsets.

A comprehensive analysis of right-handed people demonstrated how they possess better hearing when listening through their right ear. In the 1991 'Previc hypothesis' Eighty one right-handed and forty five left-handed undergraduates were used in the tests, which were over a prolonged period of listening. The results confirmed that the dominant hand dictated the dominant listening side - neither left nor right-handed listeners having any better hearing, just a more dominant ear. For that reason it is well advised to ensure that when listening to certain therapy based audios that the earphones are used appropriately.

It was found that there was a definite affirmative association when tests were scored for left and right-handed people for the lengths of listening time for left and right ears of both left and right-handed listeners. Basically the results meant there was a link between dominant hand choice and unevenness of hearing.

Just because you are right-handed does not mean you are dominant in right-sidedness! As much as you have a primary hand, you also have a primary eye, leg and foot, etc! Not all of these are interrelated to the same side of your body. You may use a tennis racket with your right hand but use your left boot as the primary kicker when playing soccer. Studies of undergraduates found that they associate upbeat thoughts with their primary side and downbeat thoughts with their secondary side.

The male of the human species is more prone to having dominant use of their left hand than the lady of the species. Just because a child's mother and father are both left-handed does not mean they will be, as there is only a 1 in 4 chance of this being the case. Apparently in the last 80 years there have been 7 left-handed US presidents, Barack Obama being one of them!

It can be quite annoying for left-handers to have to keep switching their headphones around, but this can be overcome if you are using a headset with multiple cables going to your PC, just change the cables around. You can also swap right to left by going into your PC's soundcard, if it has this set-up installed.

Try switching your headset when listening to different audios, whatever feels good for you is fine. There are, at times, no hard and fast rules. There is no real left/right brain way to determine what is right for you. Something worth noting though is, you may not have this 'switched' brain activity just because you are a left-hander.

Left-handed utensils and tools have come on a long way since everything was 'right-handed'. Now you can even get a left-handed pen, tape-measures, corkscrews, scissors and much more. What is interesting is that you can get a boomerang for left-handers, but left-handed headsets are more difficult to come by! Roughly 10 percent of the world's population are left-handed. That's an awful lot of left-handed people from the 7 billion world population! Maybe the electronics industry will take note.

With a background of working in multiple skill-based therapies and being a former 'fat kid' has given me an affinity with those going through the pains off unsuccessful weight loss. The slimming industry automatically assumes that you want a quick fix for fat loss, never giving any consideration to where it all stems from ... the subconscious.

Being overweight is no fun, I have been there many times and have used this experience in putting together a pain-free way of losing weight. Instead of working on the body to lose fat it is the creative part of the mind that is targeted. The benefits are amazing, with cravings for food and hunger pangs being non-existent!

Wouldn't it be just great if you could unload all of that dead weight? When you have been through the mill and tried everything from the cabbage soup diet to the Atkins diet then you deserve more than a wardrobe of ill-fitting clothes. You know what doesn't work for you because you've tried just about all of the weight loss plans on offer. You may well be in turmoil over what to try next and don't want to go through all the pain again.

Slimming products are simply a short-term fix. I have examined a lot of these plans and none really address the source of the problem, and neither do they retrain the brain to tackle the problem in a permanent way. That is why I have embarked on making some positive inroads into battling obesity.

The very simple weight loss method I discovered is innovative. I looked at how some methods use hypnosis for weight loss, and as a former clinical hypnotherapist I stood back and realised that this conventional method was not quite the fix people thought. I also examined how subliminals are used in weight management CDs, I found this method was hit and miss due to the listener being required to take it all in ... what if some phrases were not fully absorbed?

I was determined to design something far more lasting and more potent. Some diets can make you feel weak and near to falling to pieces. Let's face it ... what are the chances of you reaching a satisfactory conclusion on low calorie diets?

No one really wants to count calories for every little thing that passes their lips, and that is one of the criteria I used for what not to include in the slimming method I put together. Gone are the add-ons, no need to stock up on gruesome shakes and powders. The every day diet that 'normal' people are on is what will work to give you fast fat loss results.

The process that works like a dream does not concern itself with how heavy you are or how much fat you are carrying, that is because it works from inside out. Calorie counting is just a fat waste of time, there's far more to a food's healthiness than a low calorie number. Now you can stop using drastic methods in halting your journey to obesity.

By retraining your mind about when to eat, you can drop the pounds like mad without ever feeling hungry. Losing weight can be a long battle. Now you can tap into a powerful source of motivation that guides you, almost automatically, toward a healthier and slimmer you.

This technology can turn your life around. It will reach far into the area of the mind, and in a safe and naturally way that works with little effort on the listener's behalf.

In less than 30 minutes the main track of the 'The Ultimate Weight Loss CD' targets the core of the problem and helps in overcoming the hunger demon. It's time to stop dieting and start losing weight now.
