Absolutely terrible! - Rated 
I bought this CD expecting it to be filled with very relaxing and positive meditations for both mornings and evenings. However, what I experienced was far from what I had hoped for and imagined.
I won't deny that Louise Hay is a lovely woman who obviously lives a happy, healthy and positive lifestyle. However, although she may have a relaxing and soothing voice, I must agree with a statement that a previous Amazon.co.uk customer wrote on his/her review on this product. I too find that most of the things Louise says like "bless your bed for keeping you warm all night" and "bless your fridge, bless your TV, bless your postman," etc, is just really going over-board. I mean, come on...when I listen to this CD I think to myself most of the time, "I can't walk around and tell every single thing and person in sight that I love and bless them!" I am a kind, loving and friendly young lady but that doesn't mean I'm going to go around shoving it in everyone's faces like a preacher.
Another thing I find EXTREMELY irritating about this CD (call me crazy, if you will) is Louise's voice. Yes, her voice is very relaxing and beautiful. However, because her mouth is obviously too close to the microphone (LOL!) just before she goes to say her next words, you can always hear this disgusting and very irritating squelching from her lips as she swallows or inhales. No way can anyone relax to THAT, LOL!
Those are the only two things I dislike about this CD. I have sold it off as I felt very disappointed with my purchase. I'm sure there are many people who love and have benefitted from this CD. Unfortunately though, in this case, it hasn't worked for me.
To everyone who is looking for very relaxing and soothing CDs, may I suggest the successful 'Self-Hypnosis' CDs by Glenn Harold?
morning and evening meditations - Rated 
this is a relaxing a positive cd however it does go over the top sometimes in an american 'cheesy' way... for example 'giving thanks to your mailbox and the postman' and 'blessing the radio that you listen to' were a little too much for me... and i found it hard not to groan at the 'i love you' at the end of the evening meditation! For a more down to earth 'english' take on meditation, listen to glenn harrolds hypnosis cds.
MORNING AND EVENING MEDITATIONS - Rated 
I WANTED TO TRY MEDITATION, BUT DID NOT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN!
I HAVE BEEN PLAYING THIS CD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW AND I FEEL SO MUCH MORE POSITIVE ABOUT LIFE. WHEN SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING NEGATIVE I REPLY WITH A POSITIVE COMMENT OF APPRECIATION OF WHAT THEY THINK IS NEGATIVE. I SEE LIFE THROUGH DIFFERENT EYES.
I AM NOW PLAYING IT TO MY 8 YEAR OLD AND READING ONE OF LOUISE HAY BOOKS "ADVENTURES OF LULU" SHE LOVES THE STORIES AND THE CD PUT'S HER TO SLEEP AS FAST AS IT DOES ME. I LEAVE IT PLAYING TO THE SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND, IT MUST BE WORKING AS I FALL ASLEEP WITHIN 5 MINS.
SO GO FOR IT, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOOSE?
Wonderful for getting ready for the day and relaxing at the end of the day - Rated
I found this CD extremely useful for getting me ready for my day, even before I get out of bed! I love the concept of looking at the day ahead and blessing all the possible places you will be during the day - good opportunity to send out an affirmation for parking spaces for wherever you intend to be during the day :)
The evening meditation is also very good. I was touched by Louise's statement that our final thoughts at the end of the day go with us into our dreams and therefore why not make a peaceful and tranquil thought, rather a stressful one to give you bad dreams and possibly affect you getting a good night's worth of zzzs?
I highly recommend it!
Great tape - Rated
This tape is really great. You can go to sleep to the nighttime one which reviews the day and puts everything to rest. The morning one sets the day up beautifully. I would recommend it highly for anyone finding life a bit tough.
