"Whoo-hoo"
Notes of the Universe is a great way to hear affirmations of how to focus your energy, and prefaced in a way by indicating that it is the "Universe" telling you these things, via Mike Dooley's narration!
His verbal style and affirmations are very casual and posed in brief sentences, with bursts of energy, warmth, and occasionally spoken with an innocent phrase, all using a positive view.
Mike Dooley has more than ample enthusiasm as he speaks the phrases and brings thoughts, feelings and statements, all meant to bring you to a positive, happy state of being and sort of pleasantly "remind" you of your place and empowerment of you within the Universe. The nice part is that you can pause the cd, if you want to and continue with the other phrases later. He's one of the rare ones who utilizes a "breath" in between his statements, so that you can absorb it.
This set of two cds is also true to form in getting exactly what you saw in "The Secret" movie. It's also easy to play the cd, rather than read his "Notes..." book if you have little time to read a book.
His approach in the cds, though, is the same as you'd get if you go to his videos on youtube, in "The Secret" and his website. He states in a variety of ways, the ability to find a positive view with yourself and everything that you do, and also to find that you are the programmer of the Universe. You have the ability to create and revise your mind and anything in your life to your benefit.
(By the way, he has a website and you can sign up freely for his random "Notes from the Universe" subscription).
However, his book, 'Notes from the Universe' can be a better way to examine and create your own perspective.
My recommendation is to, if you have never heard of "The Secret" or seen his part in that movie, to watch that first. What you see there you will get in his cds.
If you have tried other formal methods of positive thinking, then this will be quite an adjustment for you as Mike's way is a more relaxed, friendly approach in all aspects.
In terms of what I dislike, that is a personal preference, to a strong degree. Again, his phrases are, at times, buoyant, innocent, and contains both current and past expressions, like, "Whoo-hoo", and other phrases. Having an open mind is the best medicine, in this case. If you're wanting something more formal, there are many others who will be more intellectual...
If you're wanting to really get your mind into a positive state, you may want to buy this CD set and get "The Secret" book, DVD or CD with it. I wouldn't say this if I haven't read, listened to or watched a host of self-help, positive thinking, new age, self-improvement and studied several methods. (I have also had a hypnosis practice and found that the techniques are helpful.)Read full review
