Hello (-:

Although I agree with Kuru.. But It is also sure like xenergy says that If you want your subconcious mind to adopt a regular positive practice , you must give it proper time to learn, it is not so that you heard the tap once & expect that your habbits are changed in a magical way. Fot that you must listen to tape regularly for at leat 2 - 3 months or so & that too in a peacefull atmosphere , However some kind of tapes are there with subliminal messages in which your concious mind listens to the music & subliminal messages are delivered to your subconcious mind. In such tapes as your concious mind knows that it is not certain that some subliminal messages are there or not , so in such cases your subconcious mind can take anywhere between 6-9 months to adopt the message.. Here i wish to put some lines.. Just think that there is one sick child , you wish to help but you don't have medicine to give him , so if you confidentely give him some drops of water or even some chock etc. & if that child believes on you & took that , than he will start recovering , but if he don't believe on you than it is just some drops of waters & he will not recover. So my dear friend the Belief plays an Important role. in this situation your question shows that you don't believe the are subliminal messages & so you are not getting results & if you listen to it more & more believing that it will give you positive results Than your subconcious mind & it ( the tape ) will give you positive results , No matter subliminal messages are ther or not .

A couple, few sessions have never done a thing for me.  Then again, following a 4 to 6 week session using my mp3s, tapes, etc I have seen a definite difference!  

I found some tapes, etc. were not to my perception of what I needed and found what I needed with trial and effort.
The personalities, mentioned above are very important.  I did my first "recorded" hypnosis with Rene Bastarache.  I ended up only using Kelly Howell.  Both were & are great for me.  

Would you stick with a medical doctor who made you get naked and set in ice cream as you waited for his return?  No, you would find a doctor who let you eat the ice cream & let you have the choice in wearing what you wanted to!  ;o)

They do work...but its a new habit you are beginning and need to stick with it.
