CONTENTS

Do not use this book until you have read these pages.

You have in your hands one half of the system that will change your life. To achieve success it is essential that you download the other half of this system from the Hay House website:

hayhouse.com/mckenna

and use the audio session that completes it.

This is not just a book to read, it is part of a life-changing solution. This book is the first essential element of the system. The audio session is just as important: you must use both the book and the audio session to achieve permanent success.

The session contains everything I would do if I were working with you personally. It includes simple, powerful psychological techniques and a hypnotic trance that strengthen the power of your subconscious mind to guide your success.

The session is really easy to download onto your computer or smartphone, just a few clicks, then a few minutes later, you will have me there whenever you need, to help you make the changes you want.

Intellectual knowledge is not the same as real change, so you cannot expect lasting results if you only read this book. You must download and use the psychological techniques and guided hypnosis to achieve permanent, positive change.

In hypnotic trance your unconscious is highly receptive to positive intentions. It is not the same as sleep, it is a wonderful state of deep relaxation, like a daydream or meditation, and even though you are deeply relaxed, if for any reason you need to awaken, you will do so with all the resources you need.

The audio techniques are not just essential, they are also enjoyable and rewarding. In fact, many people use them over and over to reinforce their new mind-set and enhance their success.

Congratulationsyou are about to have a healthier, happier life!

The research is astoundingas a result of having greater control over the stress in your life, you will feel better and live longer. Your immune system will be stronger, your stamina will be significantly increased, and you will make better decisions. Better still, the overall quality of your life will be significantly enhanced!

Everybody has some stress, but hardly anyone has the skills to deal with it. An astonishing 50 percent of the reasons why people go the doctor are stress related, and one recent scientific study showed that in the current economic climate, more people are missing work from stress-related problems than ever before.

The techniques in this book are a distillation of what many of the worlds leading doctors are saying will improve your health and many of the worlds business leaders say will increase your efficiency and effectiveness in the workplace.

But this book isnt just for people who are stressed out about life or who worry too much. It is for anyone who wants to be more relaxed, more resilient, and feel a whole new level of real joy!

More than just a book, this is a stress control system, and at its heart is a powerful hypnotic trance that will help you to achieve deep states of relaxation, have more energy, and be more effective in your everyday life.

Many scientific studies have shown that hypnosis is one of the fastest-acting and long-lasting solutions for stress-related illness, and I have packed over twenty-five years of research and months of careful scripting to create a daily companion for you that will allow you to access your bodys natural capacity for instant calm and deep relaxation. As you learn to change your response to stress and worry, you will be able to stay at your best for longer and bounce back quicker than ever before.

Interestingly when people attend my hypnosis workshops, they often report that not only do they feel better, the people who know them well tell them they actually look younger.

This comes as no surprise to me. When I first see a client with a stress-related problem, its usually etched in the tension on their faces. When were done, they look completely differentunburdened and relieved of the stress they have been carrying around with them wherever they go. And this is what I want for youa happy, calmer, rich and joyous life!

Living on the Edge

Some people say to me that they need their stress because they worry that without it, they would lose their edge. Every part of this system has been thoroughly tested on some of the highest achievers in the world, and I can assure you that it will in no way take away from your overall abilities.

In fact, as you learn to control your stress, eliminate unnecessary worry, and relax in the midst of your daily life, you will have more energy, become
