Are all products the same time duration, how long are they? What soundtrack should I choose, music or nature? What kind of music do the CDs have? Are they all the same? What if I choose the wrong product or the wrong soundtrack? How long will it take for me to receive a product from InnerTalk? Q = Are you clear about the problem you are trying to solve? A = With most therapies, conventional and alternative, it is very important to address the root causes of issues rather than just the symptoms. For example, if you are stressed, then you should search for the true cause of the stress and address this first. With InnerTalk, it is very important therefore to be honest with yourself and try to identify the key issue first. For success with any self-help, this is a key stage. If you are true to yourself and select the correct product for the key root issues, you will have great success. Q = What about the various technologies - which should I choose? A = If you have never used a self-help product before, we recommend that you use the InnerTalk technology rather than any of the other technologies available on this site. We recommend this as InnerTalk is NOT a headphones product, you can use this in the same way as a normal CD. You can even use it while doing other things, for example sleeping, watching TV, working etc and it will still have the same affect. The other technologies require you to take time out, sit down and relax, put on your headphones, close your eyes and commit 30 minutes or so to the product. The other technologies, OZO, Echotech, Power Imaging and Platinum Plus are all great technologies and can fit well into a more advanced self-help programme, but for beginners, we recommend InnerTalk.

A = InnerTalk products are subconscious learning products and the length of time needed to work does vary according to the type of issue and also the individual. Issues however tend to fall into two distinct categories, issues that are typically subconscious issues (e.g. confidence) or physical issues (e.g. too much weight). Experience shows that InnerTalk can change subconscious thinking very quickly, so a product such as confidence should impact the user very rapidly as there is no physical change to be made. If you think about it logically, low confidence is usually a very personal thing and very difficult to see in someone else. With a physical issue, InnerTalk is aimed at changing the thinking or behaviour in such a way that the physical will change over a more extended period of time. Therefore, in the case of weight loss, the change in thinking required to change eating habits will occur very rapidly, with the physical change becoming a consequence of this, usually over a period of weeks or months. Q = What is the typical sequence of events when using InnerTalk? A = When you order an InnerTalk product, we aim to ship the product to you as soon as we possibly can. Our aim is to send orders out within 24 hours following your order. When you receive the CDs, there is an instruction card included that should be read carefully, this will help you get the best out of your CD. You should start using the CDs that address your core issues first (see questions above) and try to use them as much as possible, (including if possible while sleeping). You should read the affirmations which are printed in the CD sleeve. In the first few day, many people report an immediate, positive change to their thinking as the new, positive affirmations challenge the old, negative ones (for example, with a confidence CD, the new affirmation "I am confident" will challenge the old "I am NOT confident". In the period of 3-7 days, some people will experience what we call "subconscious resistance" which is caused by the previous, ingrained, negative thinking trying to reject the new affirmation. This can manifest itself in many different ways but passes quickly if the CD continues to be played. After about 30 days of use, the thinking rescript will be made. After this period, many people play the CD once a month or so to receive a "booster" to their new way of thinking. Q = How can I see the affirmations on the product before buying a CD? A = For every product that we sell, you can see a description of the aims of the CD and also some sample affirmations on this website. To see these, click on the "Products Information and Online Shop" section on the menu above and then drill down into the section in column 2, that shows the InnerTalk Products, A-Z listing or Other Technologies Listing. Q = When I have a CD, do I get a full list of affirmations? A = Published within each CD that we sell is a full list of affirmations. It is important that you read these affirmations and have a clear understanding of how you are training your own mind. Q = Can you tell me more about the feedback from other customers? A = We ask as many customers as possible to feedback to us, and they do! To read some of the letters we have received, click here to get to our testimonials page. Remember, InnerTalk was only launched here in the UK in September 2002, so all this feedback is very recent. If you would like to send us your feedback, then please send us an e-mail. Q = Do therapists and professionals use InnerTalk? A = InnerTalk is very rapidly becoming the product of choice for therapists and professionals. Over 300 therapists have registered with us to use InnerTalk as part of their practice. InnerTalk is used either in session or as part of the ongoing work with clients, to allow their work to continue between client visits. As InnerTalk is in-obtrusive (unlike many other self-help products that require headphone use and closed eye concentration) and very easy to use (you just need to press the play button), therapists are finding that this technology can fit very easily and also clients can be persuaded to continue their treatment between sessions because of the ease of use. At InnerTalk, we recommend that if people do need personal support, they should seek the help of therapists and professionals as one cannot replace the one-to-one contact benefits of therapy. To read more about the InnerTalk scheme for therapists and practitioners, please click here. Q = I have a medical condition, e.g. epilepsy, is InnerTalk good for me? Should I consult my doctor? A = InnerTalk is an educational product and should be used within this context. If you have a serious medical condition, you should consult your doctor. Please speak to them about using InnerTalk and if possible, give them some information about InnerTalk so they can advise you. Many GPs now refer their patients to InnerTalk where they believe it will help their conditions (we see this especially with sleep issues, depression etc) as doctors now believe that InnerTalk is a better remedy to some issues than using symptom addressing drugs. If you have an extreme medical condition, such as epilepsy, InnerTalk will not cause the condition to worsen but please keep your healthcare professional appraised of your use of the products. Q = Does InnerTalk work for people with hearing impairments? A = InnerTalk relies on the sense of hearing to be successful, so for people with hearing impairments, InnerTalk messaging will only be heard to the extent one can hear normal sounds. So, if hearing is deficient by 50%, then InnerTalk will be weakened to a similar extent. If hearing ability is imbalanced, i.e. perfect in the right ear, deaf in the left, InnerTalk's technology of left/right, forward/reverse messaging will be impacted as one channel will be lost. This will impact the effectiveness of the InnerTalk technologies (and to a similar extent any other self-help product relying on hearing). Q = Who can I speak to about InnerTalk as I am having difficulty choosing? A = We know that it is sometimes difficult to choose the correct product, but we know that this is the most crucial element for ongoing success with InnerTalk. If you need help to choose, please call us on 01628-898366 and we will be very happy to assist you. Our offices are open between 9:00 and 17:00, Monday to Friday. Alternatively, you can also contact us by e-mail. Q = What are the best deals at the moment? A = We have a number of special deals on at the current time. You can see what these are by clicking here. We always have a multi-buy in operation, our usual offer is buy 4 and receive the 5th product free. This is available on the phone or over the internet. Q = What is the InnerTalk charitable programme? A = InnerTalk is all about enabling people to help themselves to a better life. As his gift to the world, the creator of InnerTalk, Dr. Eldon Taylor, has made three CDs available free of charge to anyone who wants them. You just have to pay for the postage. These CDs are for three issues that many people encounter in their lives, which with positive thinking can often be overcome. These three programmes are Cancer Remission, Loss of a Loved One and Forgiving and Letting Go. If you know someone who could benefit from one of these CDs, please do your bit and click here to tell them! For more information about these products, click here. Q = Are all products the same time duration, how long are they? A = InnerTalk CDs range in duration from about 45 minutes through to 65 minutes. The other technologies have shorter running times, between 25 through to 45 minutes depending on the title. With InnerTalk, it is not imperative to listen to the whole CD every time as the affirmations cycle within the product. With the other technologies, it is important to complete the programme end-to-end as a dedicated session. Q = What soundtrack should I choose, music or nature? A = On InnerTalk CDs, there is a choice between music and nature soundtracks. The purpose of the soundtrack is to mask any breakthrough into the audible range of any of the active part of InnerTalk. The choice is therefore personal, but we give the following guidelines. If you are planning to use the CD at night while sleeping, watching TV etc, we recommend nature soundtracks as they will not impose. Nature is often great for children and young people who tend to have very "specific" music tastes. The Nature sound used on InnerTalk is the sound of the ocean waves breaking on a beach. If you like to listen to music, then this would be your choice. Q = What kind of music do the CDs have? Are they all the same? A = The music on InnerTalk is predominantly easy listening music, the style of music selected appropriately for the product title. For example, the relaxation music would be much calmer than music used for energy giving titles. All music has been selected with an aim to make you forget the music is playing, this is done to reduce the conscious focus on the product (i.e. we don't want to grab your attention to the CD) and therefore increase the subconscious absorption of the affirmations. Q = What if I choose the wrong product or the wrong soundtrack? A = The aim of InnerTalk is to help you make changes. If you feel you have made an incorrect selection or incorrect soundtrack, please let us know and we will make arrangements with you to swop your product. Our experience shows that we are most often requested to change a product when the user finds that they are not addressing the correct issue, for example, the user may feel stressed and have a product for this where really the stress is being caused by past issues which should really require a product called Healing the Past. The other main area of request for change is where users experience "subconscious resistance" in the first few days of product use. This is a stage where the product affirmations e.g. "I am good" challenge the subconscious thinking "I am NOT good" and give rise to resistance. This is a natural phase of the process and we recommend in this instance to continue using the product. If you need help, please call us on 01628-898366 or send an e-mail. Q = How long will it take for me to receive a product from InnerTalk? A = We aim to ship most orders for InnerTalk within 24 hours. Orders usually get sent by first class post but for larger orders, these will be sent out by courier on an overnight delivery.
