I first became aware of the ‘Great Golf’ self hypnosis download by Barrie St John when I noticed a huge amount of online searches being made for this particular title. I purchased the Great Golf hypnosis download myself so that I could make a full and accurate review from a low handicap golfer’s point of view.
Improving my own golf mental game has drastically reduced my handicap and I always watch out for particularly effecitive golf hypnosis downloads.
Barrie has a very soft, deep, relaxing voice with a slight Yorkshire accent which is very comforting. He starts off by taking you through the deep relaxation phase and in no time at all I could feel my muscles melting and my body feeling heavier as I relaxed into my armchair. He asks you to start counting down backwards from 300 but as usual, I could only get to about 280 before drifting off into a lovely relaxed, peaceful state.
The creativity of your unconscious mind is fully utilised by golf hypnosis downloads and you feel the benefit of a calm state more and more when you play the game you love.
Another great phrase is ’ there is nowhere you have to be, nobody needs anything, the time is yours, not a care in the world, nothing at all for you to do except to relax and let go’ which for me, as a busy Mum and writer is a deeply relaxing thought in itself and not always easy to do so it’s always good to make time for yourself to enjoy such hypnosis sessions.
I like the choice of music and the 3D effects of his voice tracks makes for a very professional effect although I would expect nothing less than serious professionalism as Barrie currently sees his clients at his Harley Street Clinic, London.
The relaxation stage lasts for approximately 12 minutes by which time your unconscious mind is in a perfect state for the golfing part of the hypnosis session.
Although you are drifting off into a wonderful trance like state, your unconscious mind however is still listening intently and uses his words to continue to make positive changes in your golf mental game.
Barrie John’s starting focus is about the importance of having rhythm in your golf game, commonly known as being ‘in the zone’. Remember the times when everything has worked well at the same time, you hit the ball with no effort, your mindset is calm and relaxed and everything just flows. It’s all down to rhythm.
That all important but so elusive Rhythm !
Barrie offers a suggestion for disposing of distracting thoughts that come to your mind when you play golf,’ imagine a bin by the tee where you can drop all your distracting thoughts before you strike the ball’.
There is also a section on putting technique where you picture long putts and putting to a six feet circle around the hole where you want to leave your ball to go down in 2 putts, visualising the path you want the ball to take.
He then leads you on to envisioning your own swing and has you picturing yourself in the body of a player you admire and feeling the way they think, move and hit the ball.
You’re then led to mentally practice what you have learnt, feeling how much better things feel, noticing how much more confident you are and how much you are looking forward to your next round of golf.
All in all, I enjoyed the session and look forward to using it again as I know that the more I use it I will be able to use my imagination more vividly and as with all hypnosis sessions the effects will be cumulative in my subconscious mind and as Barrie says ‘ will help me to produce positive and profound changes to my golf game.’
Barrie St John’s Great Golf Hypnosis download or CD lasts for 24 minutes and is a time well spent as you feel totally relaxed yet refreshed and REALLY looking forward to getting out on the course for your next golf game.
