High Focus: Activate Lucid Thinking (Brain Sync Audios) Audio CD – May 1, 2003

I really like this High Focus cd. I have been listening to quite a few Kelly Howell cd's lately and this one makes me feel more alert and focused in a gentle...good way.

I have listed to subliminal or hypnosis types of CD's for one thing or another, for decades being that my mind is very open to this type of programming and learning. I have never listened to the CD instructions when it states that one must wear headphones. The first day that I put on high focus by Kelly Howell my mind felt deeper and vivid in its thinking and I wanted to start writing the first chapter of my book, which I have been putting off but there are no real lasting effects which is why I consider her CD's average but then again, she doesn't make that claim.I like more radical sounds and brain sync sound waves and this is average for me but I am a subliminal and brain wave junkie-who can go a year without listening to anything and then I go a year, when I have five different brain wave/sync CD's ranging from increasing one's IQ to psychic development. I was going to give this three stars but I give it a four. The biggest benefit from this product is that as I am sitting on my desk top to write this review, I have it in my CD Rom (without any headphones) and already when I bring up visuals in my mind, they are more lucid and 3-demensional.I have already ordered another of her CD's and even pre-ordered one to be released next month, even though I consider how CD's to be mildly effective and not able to make any real brain pattern changes like with some others that I have purchased over the years.

This CD gave me more energy during the day. I fall asleep with my headphones on and I'm out in no time! I know the message is still being heard deep in my brain....

this cd really seems to work. I find myself concentrating better when it is playing in the back ground. should help you too.

I listened to this with headphones on, at a fairly low volume and ended up with a really bad headache and a mild feeling of irritation. Had to turn it off before my brain exploded. Not to mention, didn't feel any more focused than I was at the beginning of the cd.

I didn't find it all that helpful.

Just has a swooshing sound similar (but by no means identical) to the ocean... with some cricket chirping sounds as well... underlying "brain sync" stuff going on as well, I suppose, nearly inaudible to the conscious brain.Not much there in terms of anything that really jumps out at you... but I play it at work instead of music because I tend to end up listening very closely to music, which detracts my attention from my work! With this as ambient background noise, I actually am more focused on my work... not supremely focused like the CD claims: I'm not sure I buy the whole "brain sync" garbage, but this CD is good in a very unflattering way: by NOT grabbing your attention, it allows you to focus your attention on whatever else you're doing rather than on the CD.Aside: there's a warning on it that says not to listen prior to bed, which I think is just clever advertising: this does NOT put your brain into some sort of high gear - it ain't like drinking a cup of Highlander Grog. As stated, it's just ambient noise that won't detract your attention from whatever it should be focused on. In that sense this CD is pretty good, but not worth five stars... (even four is a stretch).

great listening when I'm feeling stressed
