In addition to anyone wanting to improve their self esteem and further his or her personal transformation, I also recommend that mental health and addiction-oriented counselors utilize Enhancing My Self Esteem with their clients. Most of the clients that mental health and addiction counselors see in treatment in either an individual or group setting have an impaired self-image and are continuously experiencing extremely low self-esteem. For whatever reason the clients that are seen by mental health and addiction oriented counselors tend to have many negative thoughts and beliefs about themselves, many negative affirmations about who they think they are. Assigning Enhancing My Self Esteem as homework for a client to listen to outside of the counseling session allows that client the opportunity to begin a process of improving his or her self-esteem and as a result to be more productive within the counseling session. I am currently using Enhancing My Self Esteem with all of the clients at the Holistic Addiction Treatment Program, a residential and outpatient program in North Miami Beach, Florida. The Holistic Addiction Treatment Program is an agency that treats individuals who suffer from alcohol or drug dependency. The vast majority of clients of this agency experience chronic relapse. Within Transformational Counseling, Enhancing My Self Esteem is assigned as homework for all of my clients, as a way of continuing the work that is presented in my individual and group counseling sessions, as a way of transforming the thoughts and words of the client. The prescription for use of this product is the same as mentioned above. After the assignment is made I always ask the clients about their use of this product, about what they are becoming present to as they listen. In addition to assisting the individual in eventually feeling better about themselves and increasing their motivation with their recovery, I have also found that Enhancing My Self Esteem tends to elicit important thoughts and memories from the past, thoughts and memories that are then processed in the preceding counseling session. Enhancing My Self Esteem is a very powerful, healing product. With continued use, clients tend to always report that they feel better about themselves and are more motivated, especially with respect to their recovery. When utilized in conjunction with Transformational Counseling, the effects can be extraordinary for a client. As Transformational Counseling is about an individual altering his or her very thoughts and words, that which has defined their very being in the past, Enhancing My Self Esteem is a product that allows a client to powerfully practice their transformation on a daily basis. While the basis or foundation for the actual transformation is in an individual’s language, the thoughts that he or she thinks and the very words that they say, the environment from which this takes place is one that is initially created through the power of music.

Meditation And Relaxation Music
Since we need at least a little sunlight, food and air just to survive there have been a lot of studies on how these things affect us and most people know the value of sunscreen, healthy eating and clean air. But a much smaller number of people know the far-reaching effects that our audio environment has on individual well-being too. However, hundreds of years of experience have shown that beautiful music can help you sleep, grow, heal, relax and be happy.
As early as the ancient Chinese empires, people have noticed the positive effects of music on afflicted persons. Then, in the seventeenth century, Robert Burton proclaimed that, "besides that excellent power it hath to expel many other diseases, it [music] is a sovereign remedy against despair and melancholy, and will drive away the devil himself."
Research on the benefits of music still continues today. Many physicians have conducted studies to test the effects of music on pain relief, depression and healing and they consistently find that music facilitates all the positive changes they are trying to cultivate.
Unlike many drugs that are used to help restore emotional balance or relieve pain, relaxation music accomplishes the same tasks without any negative side effects like drowsiness and chemical addictions. It is also more affordable and accessible than medication. You don't have to be a musician to enjoy music and it lasts longer than medication because the same CD or tape that you listen to can be played again and again over the years.
Another great attribute of relaxation music is that you can benefit from its effects while participating in other tasks. Listening to music doesn't require your hands or all of your attention. Still, just having it play in the background can alleviate stress and spark enough activity in your brain to increase your mental capacity. Replace the ambient noises of your office or home and note how much smoother your days and weeks go by.
Many businesses, like restaurants and spas, also add to the beauty and appeal of their atmosphere with peaceful music. This is partially because different kinds of music are more suited for enhancing certain activities than others. Whether you want to get more sleep, heal faster, be happier, increase your concentration, get rid of stress, or even make people feel more hungry, chances are there a type of music that can make it happen.
