What makes Effective Learning Systems programs better than other self-help programs?
It’s all in the recipe. Other methods may have some of the ingredients found in our programs, but none offer you this unbeatable recipe, which includes a special combination of whole-brain learning, affirmations, positive emotions, proven mind development techniques, and the power of love. Our programs are unmatched in their ability to communicate valuable information, ideas and mental processes. They are guaranteed to help you improve your life!

How do I use the audio programs?
How you use them on a day-to-day basis depends on which kind of program you are using. However, all programs are designed to be used repeatedly. As with any learning process, repetition and consistency are very important. Listen to each program at least once a day for 30 days.

As far as day-to-day use goes, The Love Tapes® and the Effective Meditations™ series are designed to be used when you have time to relax and close your eyes. These guided imagery/meditation programs will put you in a very relaxed state of mind and body. In this environment, your mind learns better and faster and is more open to new ideas. These programs are very powerful and you’ll enjoy the experience immensely.

The While-U-Drive®, Music Affirmations™, and Walking & Active Life™ programs are designed to be used while you drive, exercise, work, or any other activity. The powerful information, affirmations, and programming techniques on these programs will help you improve yourself without slowing down.

Can I use more than one at once?
Yes. All of our products are complementary and supportive of one another. You can listen to one today and another tomorrow. Or one in the morning and another at night. Consistent use is the most important thing. Listen to each program at least 30 times.

Does subliminal programming really work and how?
Many millions of people have reported terrific results using subliminal programming techniques. Each of the programs in the Love Tapes series is available in two subliminal versions. However, not all subliminal audio programs are equally effective.

We believe that subliminal programming is most effective when it’s accompanied by an effective program that works on the conscious mind as well. In other words, the audio programs that work the best are those that combine audible plus subliminal programming, as the Love Tapes do!

We know subliminal programming is a very beneficial supplement to our audible programs. We know because our customers tell us so. And real-life results are what really matter. It also makes the audio programs more versatile, since the subliminal side can be enjoyed at times when it is not possible to close your eyes and relax deeply, as the regular programs require.

How can I get more information about a specific product?
As you shop on our Web site you’ll see that each of our products has a detailed description which should give you a very clear idea of how the program will help you. However, if after reading the product-specific descriptions you still need assistance choosing a title, please call us. We can help. Our staff is very knowledgeable and can help you find the programs that are just right for you.

The Love Tapes CDs are described as 3-in-1 CDs.  What does this mean?
The 3-in-1 description refers the fact that each Love Tapes program delivers the program in 3 different formats. The first is the Audible Guided Relaxation/Meditation format. It will guide you through some exercises to help you achieve the Alpha state – somewhere between sleep and full alertness. While at this level, the affirmations, imagery and suggestions are designed help you access your subconscious mind and influence your subconscious thinking. It’s a truly life-changing experience. Use this format when you have a chance to close your eyes and relax (such as at bedtime or first thing in the morning).

The other two formats are the subliminal programs. One has the relaxing sound of ocean waves, the other has gentle instrumental music. In these programs, the message is imbedded beneath the soothing sound of ocean waves or carefully selected instrumental music. You can listen to these programs any time you’d like. They are great as a background sound while you work or to help you sleep.

All the Love Tape programs are also available on CD or MP3 Download.

How long is each audio program?
Each program varies in length. However, most programs have a running time between 45 and 78 minutes.

Can my child use these audio programs?
We have several titles that are designed specifically for children: “Self-Image for Children,” “Songs for Self-Esteem, Volumes I and II,” and “Effective Studying and Test Taking,” and “Successful Teens.”

Most of our other audio programs, while designed to be used by adults, are also excellent for children. One exception is “The Joy of Loving” which deals with developing healthy sexual relationships.
