Hello Laurence, I have been using Reveri 7 months now. As to your question can you be working on two things in parallel, I use a wide range of the sessions available. If you want to work on Focus and Improved Sleep, I would suggest trying
the Breathing Exercises Cyclic Sighing and under more exercises Enhance Focus, Reach Your Goals and Improve Sleep. I often piggy back one session after another. It is nice to jump around and try different sessions and find your favorites. Reveri has helped me so very much and I was in the least hypnotizable category Good luck with your journey
Thanks, Suqie.
I stumbled on the fact that Iām no locked into one ācategoryā but could also get going with the sleep category after starting on focus. Since I have A.D.D., I continuously look for help with focus. And since I have A.D.D., as soon as I start something, Iām ready to start something else. But thatās also a feature of learning something new: groping to discover what I donāt know, sometimes before I know enough to learn the new topic.
So again, I thank you. Iām looking forward to getting the most I possibly can from Reveri.
Thanks Laurence for the update, it was good to read your response.
Sometimes i stop the timer to stay in the session longer. Cheers
Hi. I just signed up, and Iām on day three. Iām trying to build better eating habits.
Iāve been assigned a hypnosis session called āControl Any Habit,ā and I have a question. Iāve done this session twice, now, and Iām a little bit confused. Hereās what happens:
- The session begins with the balloon arm exercise.
- Next, I give a score of my belief in my ability to change my habit.
- After that, I have to specify whether I am trying to change an addiction, a behavior, or [a third option that I canāt remember right now].
- I say āBehavior,ā because Iām working on eating patterns.
- Next, I am guided through a breathing exercise.
- The confusing part comes after the breathing exercise. Thatās when Dr. Spiegel asks something like, āNow, do you feel like you can make a better choice next time with the tools provided?ā (Iām paraphrasing.)
It feels like I just got started with the hypnosis session, learned a breathing technique, and then itās all over.
Was the breathing technique supposed to be a tool to use when my unhealthy urges strike? Like a surrogate behavior? Or was it just part of the hypnosis session? And, if the breathing technique was one of the ātools provided,ā what is/are the other tools (plural tools)?
It seems like part of the recording may be missing, or at least maybe a little bit of instruction is needed so that I understand whatās happening.
I would love to understand because I was assigned this session on Day 1 and Day 3, and I have a feeling that I will be assigned the session again in the coming days. LOL.
Thank you!
Hi Shannon, welcome aboard! From my own understanding, you will find the exercises on the iPhone Home page comprise a collection of techniques, including breathing exercises. While these exercises serve various purposes, itās worth noting that many scientists recommend incorporating breathing techniques for their numerous benefits. I wish you a rewarding journey with these exercises! If you need further clarification or guidance, feel free to reach out. Buddy, youāve got this! Cheers!
I am new to Reveri and am using it to improve my golf game (and have chosen that goal). The focus and concentration sessions seem almost the same. Iād appreciate understanding how I can specifically apply the sessions to my golf game.
Can it help with arthritis pain? Thank you!
Yes, the Manage Pain Perception can definitely help with arthritis pain. Give it a try and report back
Hi Shannon, thanks for asking. I believe in the behavior pathway of the Control Any Habit exercise, Dr. Spiegel instructs you to use this breathing technique when you notice yourself being ātriggeredā to engage in that unwanted behavior. So he is teaching you something you can do instead of defaulting to the unwanted behavior. If you donāt feel like it was sufficiently helpful, you should respond āNoā when he asks you that question along the lines of āNow, do you feel like you can make a better choice next time with the tools provided?ā, because he will offer further guidance from there. Hope this is helpful?
